About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

A day in the life

One thing that I have noticed whilst doing Weightwatchers is that everyone has a different way of spending their points allowance each day. Some have a huge breakfast, others skip it all together. Some have a large midday meal others a large meal in the evening. My average day looks like this


Breakfast
Oastso Simple made with water (2 pts)
Cup of tea

Mid morning
Coffee

Lunch
Usually a packed lunch for work
4 slices WW bread (2.5 pts)
2 slices lean ham (1 pts)
Mustard
Lettuce
Cherry Tomatoes
Carrot Sticks
Snack-a-Jacks salted popcorn

Dinner
This is my main meal of the day and averages around 10 pts see the main meals section for examples.
Snacks
1 pint skimmed milk in drinks
Crisps (my downfall!)
WW Cakes
or Skinny Cow Icecream

I use up to 5 pts on snacks andI try to bank points for the weekend when my wine habit uses up lots of points
