Slumdog Millionaire



Went to see Slumdog Millionaire tonight and it certainly lived up to expectations. It was fantastic. So pretty, such a good soundtrack, and the child actors were brilliant.



I saw Dev Patel on a chat show the other night and he pointed out that the gameshow host pronounces mill-Ionaire, as mill-onaire, which I then noticed EVERY time the word was said! I also loved the dance track at the end. Bollywood/India has such great dance routines. Anyone know if there is a Bollywood-style workout video? That would be fun!

So, dinner tonight was a high point one. I marinated a tuna steak in soy sauce, garlic and red chilli and baked sweet potato fries that I had coated in 1 point of garlic olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika. The portion was huge, and at 6 points just for the giant potato, I probably should have saved some of it...but damn it was too good to do that! Peas, brocolli and sugarsnaps on the side made this a perfect and filling pre-movie theatre dinner. The photo is making me hungry!



Oh, and I did my half hour on the treadmill: day 1 of week 5 of c25k before bodypump. Unfortunately, I think the combination of such a good run yesterday, and more running today meant that I couldn't get in the zone for bodypump. I took a bunch of water breaks, actually leaving the class between tracks and felt myself switching to lighter weights than I'd used for the same tracks last week. Oh well...it was still an hour spent sweating and toning muscles!

I am determined to eat all of my 24 points today, and then hopefully I'll have lost weight this week and from Tuesday I'll be down to eating 23 points.

So, today started off with a big powl of porridge, blueberries and a small banana for a total of 4.5 points.


Then two slices of weightwatchers bread and low fat butter spread for 2.5 points, followed by a second batch at 3 points.



That's 10 points down for the day already! This afternoon I'm heading to the gym for day 1, week 5 of C25k and then bodypump. Tonight I want to organise my bedroom. I still have three boxes of clothes to unpack from when I moved in November!

6 point veggie-chicken pasta

I am stuffed! I probably should have eaten about half of this huge portion, but given that I had six points left for the day I figured I'd eat all six points. Especially as if I've lost even half a pound at my weigh-in on Monday, I'll be losing a point from my daily allowance...sadness.

So, while this is not the prettiest of dishes...This is whole wheat pasta, chicken breast pieces, cauliflower, broccoli and carrots stirred together with some half fat creme fraiche:
