Spooky treats from Mr. K! If you're going to have a trick or treat bowl for yourself there's no reason why you can't plan to have one of these... the joy of SPs is you can track it and enjoy it!

Every year I get asked 'How many SPs in a slice of brack?' and it's impossible to answer... with so many different versions out there, it varies from recipe to recipe and weight of the slice you cut... also how much butter did you put on it!?! Be honest! So here's 3 that I spotted in Dunnes last week that will give you a gauge of what's out there but you need to work out the SPs for each brand and weigh your slice! Don't forget to check for the ring first, that'll weigh more! LOL
I've pointed these all at 48g and as per recommended portions on the pack.

Dear Rob... #weigh-in-4
Happy Halloween!!
Now, first thing... don't lose the plot this weekend... you wouldn't have all those sweets in the house normally so don't go crazy just because the little people are on a sugar buzz at the front door! And remember... I heard a rumour you can treat yourself with a Chinese or a glass of wine and not touch single sweet... no word of a lie!
This weeks is a guest post is from Rob Partridge a funny and amazingly talented person who has lost 5 st 2 lbs to date with Weight Watchers! Anyone who followed the "Strictly Come Dancing' with Weight Watchers Ireland for charity, will have no doubt spotted his moves! I was only gutted I was away when he was throwing shapes in the finals in Dublin! Encore next year!!!

Dear Rob
by Rob Partridge
I always weigh up what I’m going to do, big or small, by looking at the pro’s and con’s. I do, metaphorically, have a little angel on one shoulder and little devil on the other. Sometimes the wrong one wins. I’ve always been told that writing things down helps which is probably why I keep a journal/diary and why I still hand write letters to people. With that in mind I thought I’d write to Angel Rob and Devil Rob and just let them know my feelings on a few things.
* * * * *
Dear Angel Rob,
We need to talk!
Remember a few years back when I joined Weight Watchers and you were all “Oh man! Well done! This is a brilliant step!” and you encouraged me week by week to point my food properly and I ended up losing five stone? That was awesome! Thanks for that. Your support was incredible, needed and really useful.
Sadly though you made a few mistakes and it’s those we need to talk about.
When I say “It’s Tuesday, I’ve been weighed, I’m getting Chinese food!” on my way home from my Weight Watchers meeting your response shouldn’t be “Go for it Rob. You deserve it. Okay, so you were up but you thought about being good and after all it’s the thought that counts.” No Angel Rob, no! You should be saying “Hang fire big guy! If you’re having Chinese food then today just became a ProPoints day and not a Filling & Healthy day so you need to point the food you had earlier. Why not finish the day on the filling & healthy and tomorrow we’ll do ProPoints and you can have the Chinese food without feeling the guilt?”
Angel Rob you could also suggest I use my weekly 49 but to be honest I’d rather you didn’t because as you well know I like to save those for treats.
Furthermore when I’m in a petrol station grabbing a coffee in the morning and I think “If I get a walk in later I could have that sausage sandwich!” you should be butting in and saying “Why not walk first then have the sandwich?” and if (when!) I argue with you then you should really stick to your guns rather than smiling and saying “Okay, well I won’t tell if you don’t!” It’s sweet and all that but not helpful.
Angel Rob you need to start telling me to tell people. Not verbally or to strangers because we both know from experience that that just lands us in trouble! No I need to tell my journal or tracker. Too many pages end up with question marks or big red X’s and some have #Fail! written across them. If you’re my good little angel then you need to tell me that writing anything other what I’ve eaten is unacceptable.
You need to back to how you were Angel Rob. You need to go back to lowering and shaking your head slowly and sadly when I look at a doughnut that I don’t have the points for. You need to smile at me when I choose fruit over a chocolate bar and you need to comfort me when I’m crying out to be good. Yeah, I struggle sometimes but I’m five clothes sizes smaller and five stone lighter. Focus on those will you please and encourage me to continue to do good so I can get rid of the rest of this unnecessary weight.
Yours with love,
Real Rob.

Dear Devil Rob.
I only have two things to say to you.
Fried rice is not the same as brown rice!
Go to hell!
Unfortunately yours,
Real Rob.
Great losses again this week! Chart below, again if I've missed anyone let me know! A couple more 7's added this week! Rocking it people! Woo hoo!
Halloween Brack!
A quick recipe post!
I'm not a big fruitcake person.. gimme a 'sponge' (by sponge I clearly mean cupcake!) any day but there's something about brack and Halloween that I love... My downfall is the thick layer of butter that goes with it... I'm drooling as I type I swear! *note to self NEVER blog hungry!*
Today in class Michelle... my amazing leader, who really needs to write a cookbook, made her version of Halloween brack which, the way way, costs less than a euro to make AND you don't need butter on it! It's a great recipe for your Christmas cake too for 'the visitors' as my family call them! Other tips in the class were adding cinnamon and glazing it with and egg was to make it all shiny and fancy!
AAANNNNDDD... the bags of Mixed Fruit are available in ALDI for 59c at the moment too! so BARGAIN!

Pop the mix into a 2lb loaf tin like so...
No butter required and it smells like Christmas!
Go forth and bake!
Trick or Treat??!!
yep.. the little feckers are coming! looking for all your goodies too!
Tips...
Stay Focused!
You've got Christmas in your sights.. its just one day and the goodies are for kids... not you...
If you're going out to trick or treating... have a bowl of zero ProPoint soup... make up a low PP fruit smoothie... a baked potato, whatever .. just be full ... that the thought of adding chocolate to your stomach just sounds uncomfortable...
Apple teeth are SO easy to do... slice em up...
peanut butter and mini marshmallows! Simples!
Banana ghosts and clementine pumpkins, practically point free!
I'm making these bad boys for Halloween! Mini Mummies!
Stay tuned!
Spooky stuffed pumpkin peppers...
Don't buy the goodies for the tricksters until the actual day of Halloween OR be very good at hiding stuff, stick it in the garage, shed, wardrobe till you need it... if it's sitting on the kitchen worktop.. it'll be opened and hoovered!
These are amazing, take a few minutes to make and look so cool.. and are zero PP!
Do a little Halloween basket just for you! Work out the mini bars and biscuits or crisps and have them! You know exactly how many ProPoints are in there and you can nibble away till they're all gone!
Make some Halloween treat for every one that's fun and healthy! You know I love my sugar free jelly and there's ALWAYS some in my fridge! Get creative with colours and some spooky wine gums...
Carving pumpkins? You can come away with more than a spooky jack-o-lantern. Roast the pumpkin seeds, and have some as a snack. Pumpkin seeds are a good source of protein, fiber and iron...
Expecting trick-or-treaters? Buy stuff you don't like! Not a Licorice fan... Dolly mixture all the way! Trick yourself!!
If you're having a bit of a 'do'.. then get creative.. there's LOADS of ideas out there! Mr. Pumpkin platter (below) would go down a storm with some chilli and garlic dips... Nearly Point free! The freaky frozen ICE hand (above) is easy! Some juices and your fav tipple for the adults and you stay in control!
Going to a Halloween party? Turn heads in your costume! Eat before you get there so you're not hungry and picking at the snacks!!!
Frankenstein fans check this link >>> HERE <<< for FAB ideas... LOVE the grapes idea!!!
Watching a scary movie? Skip the popcorn and have a cup of frozen berries for an icy treat...
There are loads of really easy healthy ways to enjoy Halloween without being sponsored by Cadburys! Your body isn't a rubbish bin... so don't treat it like one... Its just one day!
Fab losses continue on the challenge! Christmas is just around the corner!!!
