Closing in on 3 stone!

Hello peeps, hope you're all well.

Well I'm very happy to say that I'm down 2lbs after a very rough weekend.  I'm 3.5lbs away from my third stone.  I never thought I'd get this far.  I've actually decided to change my goal.  I wanted to have my 3rd stone by August 6th.  I have 3.5lbs more to go and I think I could have that off in 3 to 4 weeks.  So I'm setting myself a 3 week goal so I'll have to push myself a little.

I've decided to put a recipe up in this blog entry for a French Toastie.  I found the original recipe on the Weight Watchers Ireland website.

Here it is after it's been cooked and it's all yummy looking:


And my plate afterwards...



So here's the recipe taken straight from the website:

Ingredients

  • 4 medium slices wholemeal bread
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 60g (2 oz) wafer thin smoked ham
  • 25g (1 oz) low fat mature cheese, grated finely
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 3 tablespoons skimmed milk
  • Low fat cooking spray
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Spread two of the slices of bread thinly with mustard, if using. Divide the ham and cheese between these slices and top with the remaining slices of bread. Cut each sandwich into two triangles.
  2. Beat the egg and milk together in a shallow bowl and season. Dip the ham and cheese sandwiches in the egg mixture on both sides, until the mixture has been all soaked up.
  3. Heat a non stick frying pan until hot and spray with the cooking spray. Add the egg dipped sandwiches and fry for 2 minutes on each side over a medium heat until golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately.
Just a couple of notes.  I was confused.  The ham I have is 2 slices for 1PP so I just used 2 slices.  I used 1 tsp of the mustard for each sandwich.

So that's it from me this week.  I'm off to the zoo tomorrow, weather permitting so I might do a blog entry and post some of my pics.  

Onwards and downwards!
