Enjoying my food
Well I had my weigh in this morning and I am the same as last week. I guess thats not too bad considering the lager, wine, chicken kebab, chocolate, giant pizza, lemon tart (!) I've ate this week but it doesn't help me establish if I have a weight gain / loss pattern each month. I guess I will just have to see what happens next month! I've made the decision that I'm not going to obsess about it. I'm going to continue to eat and exercise as normal but put in extra effort to avoid the evening snackies and see where I go from there. Obviously if I continue to gain then I'll have to look at my food choices, but in the mean time I'm going to continue to enjoy my exercise and food as normal. Speaking of enjoying my food, I made a really gorgeous breakfast today - Greek Yoghurt and Pear Mess. I mixed up a pot of 0% fat greek yoghurt with 2 tablespoons of jumbo oats, brown rice puffs, grape nuts (loving these!) some flaked almonds and a chopped pear topped with a bit of agave. It was delicious!
Lunch was another nectarine and a bowl of sweet potato and cabbage soup.
As the weather is getting warmer I'll have to start thinking of more refreshing lunches instead of carby soups. I can't help but love my soups though, all those nutrious veggies and they fill you up, I might have to experiment with cold soups and more salad ideas.
Mid afternoon snack was two little juicy oranges and 2 babybel lights.
Dinner was more of my roast veggies (brocolli, red pepper, sweet potato and red onion) and a salmon fillet baked in the oven.
Drinks - water, green tea, decaf tea, regular tea, probably a skinny caramel latte later
Exercise - Rest Day
The weather has been so beautiful today, I even got my new spring shoes out!
I love these, they are comfortable like slippers and only cost £20 from Office. I know I'll wear these to death over the summer, total bargin! I also got to wear a blazer today instead of a coat, yey spring is here! If the weather stays good for tomorrow morning I think I may attempt my first 3 mile run! I'm really excited about it, I've mapped out my route and I'm going to use the Runkeeper app to track my pace. I'm not going to focus on my speed, just going the distance without stopping.
Well I'm now off to meet up with my cousin Catherine for a coffee and a mooch around the shops, this is the most fun I'm expecting from my working / cleaning / laundry weekend so I'm going to make the most of it! Hope everyone has had a good week and has a fab weekend ahead! xxx
