Day 3 and crunchy knees

I had a visit to the Osteopath last night before I met the girls as I have issues with my shoulder - years of carrying a stupidly oversized and overstuffed handbag I think. She's also been looking at my ankle which I've managed to damage on numerous occasions. Whilst I was there last night she noticed that my knee was making a pretty horrendous crunching sound when I bend... I had noticed it myself but reckoned it was nowt to concern myself with. Anyway, apparently ones knees shouldn't make that noise so I need to sort it out. I'm all out of kilter from the ankle and I need to strengthen my knees and my thighs. She told me to do a bit more leg work in the gym instead of just cardio so I need to make more of an effort on that front. I don't want to end up with some form of malformed knee or something equally as hideous... (ok... maybe a slight over reaction)

Food has been fairly good today, I am trying to bank a few points again for tomorrow if alcohol is to be involved.

Breakfast

2 Crumpets with 2 tsps butter (4.5)



Please ignore the builders table - my friend is currently without a kitchen!

Mid Morning

Cup of Coffee and an Apple (0.5)


Lunch

Went to the pub with the girls from work - whilst they all ordered burgers and chips - I went for the mushroom soup. Much food envy on my behalf it has to be said. I only had one slice of the bread and no butter... booooooo. Soup was creamless apparently - and fairly tasteless to boot! I reckon about 3.5 points based on Wetherspoons Mushroom soup which is 2.5 without bread and butter..



Mid afternoon

Starving after that tasteless soup episode. A cup of manky tea (I am out of Red Bush tea bags so using the machine) and a WW Triple Chocolate Bar, plus the other 13g of Lemon Salted Almonds from Wednesday which I snaffled before I managed to photograph (2.5 points for both). Knee exercises from the Osteopath in the background.


Dinner

Chinese Take Away from the Kitchen of Linz....
Egg 'Fried' Rice (2.5) - Rice dry fried with mushrooms, leeks, soy sauce and an egg
Beef Curry (3) - Beef with mushrooms and onions and Sharwoods Cantonese Curry Sauce (only 3.5 for the whole jar)
Sweet Chilli Prawns (2.5) - 1/2 a box from Iceland - a bargain at £2!
Sticky Chicken (2) - Otherwise know as Diet Coke Chicken - 1 chicken breast, mushrooms, onions, diet coke, tomato sauce and worcestershire sauce and a dash of sweet chilli sauce.

Et Voila - my very own chinese buffet for a bargainous 10 points!

Normally on a Friday we eat out or get a takeaway, but in my determination to be more in control I decided to chef! I originally thought I would eat half of everything I cooked (15 points) but I really didn't need it.

Which left me enough points for a Weight Watchers Toffee Apple Crumble (3)


So 24/26 points plus 1 BP from the Wii (didn't do as much as planned as I was bloody famished). Another fairly successful day. I am on a blooming roll here people.
