Blueberries in a can

Another excellent day - I can't describe how good it feels not to gorge myself and to know that I'm losing weight! I weighed in today at 64.5kgs! I love the first couple of days when the numbers on the scales are constantly declining, as the body gets rid of retained fluid etc. I also love getting to goal! I know I shouldn't weigh myself every day, but I just curious this morning. Hopefully I can resist until next Friday - it will be exciting to see the results my good work brings! It could potentially be 63.5kgs, or even 63kgs! That would be unreal.

Had my pikelets this morning, and they were delicious! They also - surprisingly - kept me full until lunchtime! I had roast pumpkin, ricotta and chickpeas with salad for lunch, and at only 2 points, I had a ton of points left for the afternoon. Dinner was also low in points - 2.5 for tofu and 1.5 for 1/2 cup of rice (for a stirfry). I've discovered my newest love - blueberry and cinnamon smoothies for only 1.5 points! The best 1.5 points spent I have to say!

Take 1/2 cup blueberries from a can, 1/2 cup skim milk, several ice cubes, 85g strawberry or field berries yoghurt (Yoplait Forme) and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Mix together in a blender, milkshake maker or magic bullet, add a straw and tad-dah! Delicious.

Tomorrow morning I'm excited to make french toast with blueberries for brekkie! Pretty sure blueberries in a can are the best. Far cheaper than fresh ones, and you get the bonus juice for smoothies!

Have had a very quiet day, just finished the housework, watched lots of episodes of Friends, The Lizzie McGuire Movie (lame I know... but a feel good chick flick nonetheless!), Calendar Girls, I baked some 4 point double chocolate muffins (don't worry - I didn't have any, and I'm not tempted - my Auntie and Uncle and cousins are most likely visiting tomorrow so it's for them, and my brother and other housemate who are skinny and can and do eat whatever they want!) and chatted to my Mum for a bit. Very relaxing. Tomorrow I have to do a bit of homework, and I'm going to go to church in the morning. Haven't found one yet that I like, but there are plenty around, so I'll check some out in the coming weeks. Less than 2 weeks and I'm home for Easter hols too! Exciting.

In a great mood today, thankyou scales. Look forward to seeing the 5-9 on the scales, bring it on!
