Meal Planning – W/E – 3-11-24

Meal Planning – W/E – 3-11-24

Where have I been? Right here, but life has been a whirlwind! Sorry for falling behind on meal planning for those who follow it. June was all about catching up at work after being out of the office and battling a rough flu. July brought family going overseas, granddaughter to babysit, endless birthdays, and work. August and September were our turn to go overseas—Bali was absolutely ...
WW Ambassador & Member Hit Back

WW Ambassador & Member Hit Back

WW Support WorkshopsDuring the week, I was contacted by Laura Newell from Seven West Media (WA), who reached out to discuss the recent closure of WW Workshops here in Australia. She asked if I would be willing to share my thoughts on the topic, and I was happy to have a conversation with her. In our chat, she asked a series of insightful questions, giving me the opportunity to reflect on the ...
WW Closing Workshops

WW Closing Workshops

WW Support WorkshopsFirst off, this is just my personal rant and opinion. Normally I just share recipes or what is happening with us, but today I need to RANT! I’m still in shock over Weight Watchers' decision to shut down their workshops on November 2nd, 2024. These meetings have become something I rely on, not only for accountability but also for the friendships I’ve made. I've been on and ...
Bali 2024

Bali 2024

Bali - Aug/Sept 2024On Wednesday, August 27th, 2024, our friend Roby dropped us at Tullamarine Airport at 3:15 a.m., and from the moment the plane took off, I knew our holiday had officially begun. The flight was great, but Jetstar surprised me with a meal I would never have ordered—despite their insistence that I had. Their menu had apparently changed, and they gave me whatever they ...
Creamy Chicken, Mushroom & Spinach

Creamy Chicken, Mushroom & Spinach

Decadent Chicken Breast This dish of chicken breast, mushrooms, and spinach with cream is simply indulgent, combining all our favourite ingredients in one delicious meal. It's 10 WW points, but every bite is absolutely worth it. It's super quick to prepare and even easier to enjoy. While velveting the chicken isn't necessary, I love how it makes the chicken silky and juicy, so I highly ...
Slow Cooker – Creamy Chicken Satay

Slow Cooker – Creamy Chicken Satay

Our family favourite meal My kids really miss the Maggi Creamy Malaysian Chicken Satay recipe base. It was incredibly easy to make and absolutely delicious. While it probably wasn't the healthiest option due to all the additives, it was my go-to meal whenever I needed my kids to eat without fuss. They never touched the vegetables in it—heaven forbid!—but they adored the flavours. It was ...
First real weigh-in after two months, and it’s back to business! It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster—up, down, up, down—but here we are, down 300g. I’ve watched the daily and weekly fluctuations without much change, but honestly, it could have been much worse. With birthdays, weddings, stress, outings, and plenty of food, I’m happy to take that 300g loss as a win!

When asked by Elizabeth and Billy to make their Wedding Cake I felt so privileged. What an honour. 

Meticulous planning for just the right size without too much was the task at hand. Flavour choices were made. Vanilla cake with @lotusbiscoffus centre and dark chocolate shavings of @kokoblackchocolate 

Of course the main source was @funkybatter amazing recipes for the cake and battercream. Honestly they are THE BEST recipes. The cake would not have survived the trip to Torquay had it not been made in these. The battercream held up perfectly in 28 degree heat. 👌🏼 

The cake topper by @eventstobeau was perfection. Just was the couple wanted. Simple and elegant. It arrived beautifully packaged and it will be something they can treasure in a frame. Highly recommended 

Everyone loved the cake especially the bride and groom 👰‍♀️ 🤵

I saw this and thought it was very appropriate no matter what path you are on. Family, relationships, work, weightloss or just because 😏 

My big thing has always been - take a step back and BREATHE!!

Wishing Billy the happiest of 30th birthdays. Billy, as you step into your 30th year, this year sure to be filled with amazing milestone moments (wedding) and endless happiness—we want to wish you the happiest of birthdays for Tuesday. 

With everyone for dinner we had butter chicken by request and the trimmings. 

Of course a cake had to be made and I created a @funkybatter Red Velvet Chocolate cake with @funkybatter vanilla battercream.  Layers incorporated @kokoblackchocolate milk shavings and of course, a Playstation theme to suit the boy inside. The birthday boy was very happy 😃

Dinner tonight was a total winner—only 6 WW Points and super satisfying! A perfect healthy meal 🍽️ 

Crispy flathead fillets, lightly dusted with flour and seasoning, shallow pan-fried to perfection. Paired with crunchy air-fried chips and a fresh, vibrant salad made from lettuce, cucumber, homegrown tomatoes, chickpeas, and avocado.

The finishing touch? A drizzle of our favorite @fustinisholland balsamic vinaigrette, brought back from Michigan by the kids each year. It’s so good we use it sparingly, but it absolutely makes the meal!

First day back at WW workshops, and can I just say: “I’M THRILLED!” Coach Carol and the girls are like a walking pep rally—they’ve got enough enthusiasm to power a small country. The vibe? Immaculate. You can’t help but think, “I GOT THIS!” And honestly, they make you believe it. They’re like your personal cheer squad, dishing out support and purpose like it’s their superpower. Love my workshop? Understatement of the year.

This is exactly why I’m turning my house into a full-blown powerhouse! For all the folks who skip workshops for whatever reason (non WW members, schedule conflicts, the allure of sweatpants, or just pure rebellion), I’ve got you covered. Because let’s face it - Together We Thrive isn’t just a slogan; it’s a way of life. 🏠💪🍎 https://thethermocouple.com.au/together-we-thrive/

This week’s victory: down 400g! 💃 No exercise yet (oops), but hey, baby steps, right? I’ll get there—I can feel it. Here’s to more wins, less weight, and maybe even finding my walking shoes someday! 🏃‍♀️✨
