This past week, although busy with lots of eating (and not always the right things) has been successful and I've had a small dieting win...
2 Kilos
Couldn't be happier and am encouraged to keep going. I think that eating something small about every 3 has been a major help as I haven't allowed myself to feel hungry or deprived. In fact it's the best I have felt for a long time so now I'm an eager dieter.
Yummiest meal this week was Moroccan Chicken served with a very small amount of boiled basmati rice.
Eating out was a little more difficult than I had imagined though, I settled on braised pork with shitaki mushrooms and bok choy so that worked and was delicious. I did succumb to desert which technically was not necessary but as I had refused an entrée, justified it in that way. The portions were on the small side and I did have a glass of bubbly before eating and one of white wine with the meal.
The very next night guests for dinner so once again challenged..BBQ lamb with salad and baby potatoes and mint. Desert was a fruit crumble and once again my portion was smallish. Wine? yes
Breakfast has become one of my favorite meals. I have found a yummy muesli full of oats, bran, coconut and nuts and sultanas, I add mixed berries, yoghurt and skim milk. Top this off with green tea and I'm ok until mid morning. This morning I was busy so didn't eat again until lunch.
The 2nd large pot of vegie soup is in the refrigerator and on hand whenever I need it. I'm also trying to up my water intake and am trying to just have 2 pieces of fruit a day plus the berries. Fruit could really be my downfall as I love and could eat 10 a day easily.
Looking forward to the next week, have had some positive feedback on a job interview and will know the outcome by Friday so fingers crossed it's all good news.
