Super skinny healthy zucchini fritata!
This is a recipe my girlfriend got off her dietician but I’ve modified it to be less points (less eggs, less flour, less/better cheese and more veggies)! It’s really yummy (like quiche but much better for you!) and perfect to eat with a simple garden salad on the side. It serves 6 and can be frozen in portions to eat at your own leisure. I like to grab a frozen parcel on my way to work and then zap it in the microwave at lunch.
INGREDIENTS & DIRECTIONS (ProPoints in bold):
1/2 cup of self raising flour 7
1 tsp baking powder 0
3 eggs 5
3 egg whites 0
2 medium zucchini’s grated 0
Handful baby spinach 0
Half a cup of butternut pumpkin diced into 1cm cubes 0
100g shaved lite leg ham cut chopped 2
Half an onion diced 0
3 slices of Bega lite cheese slices (2 chopped, 1 for the top) 4
Salt & pepper 0
3 second spray of canola oil 0
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Spray 2 litre oven proof dish with canola spray. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mix until well combined. Pour into dish. Cover with remaining broken up cheese slice. I like to also add halved cherry tomato’s across the top.
Cook on 180 degrees C for 30-40 mins or until onion/pumpkin is cooked through.

Fuck yes.
Went to the work gym last night. A couple of the players were in there but I was with some work girlfriends so I didn’t care! We did cardio, weights, skipping and by the time we wanted to go outside and kick a footy around, it was pitch black. Damn you, winter! Miss you, summertime.
Tried on some black skinny jeans of mine that were a bit muffin-toppy a couple of months ago and now they fit really nicely :)
Haven’t weighed myself in around a week because: period.
Perfect for a cold Aussie night in bed. And only 1 WeightWatchers ProPoint per sachet! Nicer than the WW hot chocolate…
Just add 200mL of boiling water :)
brb shrinking my fat cells.
The Way It Was… Weight Watchers in 1972.
Check out this link where you can see what life was like on the Weight Watchers program in 1972. Not much has changed in 40 years but there are a few funny things I’ve discovered…
Bread: Woman (1 slice for breakfast, 1 for lunch)
Cheeses are “illegal” [i.e. you are not allowed to eat them] if they are soft enough to spread evenly and not hard enough to slice easily.
You must eat a minimum of 5 weekly fish meals [interesting!]
Liver must be eaten at least once a week, either for lunch or dinner
Any artificially sweetened carbonated beverage not to exceed 15 calories per day [i.e. lay off the multiple diet soft drinks, fatty!]
The list of ‘do not eat’ foods is quite extensive and forceful. They tell you to steer clear of fried foods, sugar, syrup and sodas (not surprising), raw fish or meat (but, but sashimi!), peanuts (protein!) and soups (wtf?).
As a whole, the program is quite similar. Eat lots of vegetables, limit diet drinks and foods, limit sodium, eat protein and lay off the carbs.
Not sure about the liver though :)
Hnnnnnnnn delicious Weight Watchers ANZAC biscuits.
ANZAC Day eve… I decide to make some biscuits for my boyfran. Found a healthy looking recipe online (rice bran oil in place of butter, honey instead of golden syrup) but after I made them, I calculated the points and they were 5pts each :\WTF. Arnotts ANZAC’s are only 2pts!
At this stage, I log onto my Weight Watchers iPhone app and there’s a bloody WW recipe staring back at me for ANZACs with ProPoints values of 3 each. Not bad.
So after a miserable, failed attempt at ‘healthy’ ANZAC biscuits yesterday, I gave the new WW recipe a crack. DELICIOUS!
Before & After
Recipe is as follows:
Summary.
Did the 1000 Steps Kokoda Trail on Monday with my new work BFF, Miss N. It was dreadful weather but we’d been planning it for ages. It started raining just as we were starting. We almost backed out. But we persevered. Then it started hailing when we were halfway up! Ridiculous.
It took us 35 mins to walk up the hill and 27 mins down. 250 calories up, 95 down.
A bunch of us at work have registered as a team for the Mother’s Day Classic this year. I’m only going to do the 4km run.
Feel so epically fat and retarded. I wish I didn’t like/enjoy food so much! It’s just so good. Fresh bread. Good chocolate.
Nearly died at Spin tonight. I love my gym! So many healthy & attractive people. Makes you want to push yourself harder.
Guess I will soldier on :)
Re-starting my health kick mid-Easter break is proving difficult. LOVE U, EASTER EGGS.
On a scale of 1 to 10, my DOMS from the past 3 days are so painful they could kill a small child.
So good but so bad.
TODAY.
5:30am wake up call.
6:30am-7:30am Body Attack class.
Showered, dressed & outta there by 8am.
Walk to work from gym (approx 30 mins).
At my desk with a coffee by 8:30am.
MISSED U, GYM.
Spin tomorrow night. Epic DOMS already :// Zzzzzz.
The muscle just looks prettier too. Like if I had to sleep with one or the other, it would be the 5lbs of muscle lol.
obviously ^ the fat looks like a drunken mess at the bar and the muscle looks like boyfriend material
So what you’re saying is … the fat is the easy to get asshole at the bar everyone sleeps with and the muscle is the nice guy everyone says they want but no one wants to make the effort to get?
I would go steady with the muscle.
