BFL – Week 5, Day 1

Well, needless to say with being on holidays I have been in holiday eating mode – so basically whatever I want. This has included way to many biscuits – i just cannot seem to control myself with them. The only saving grace has been we’ve had all healthy meals. But NOOOOO exercise, except for one walk. Pitiful isn’t it? I had such good intentions. I did manage to hop on the scales yesterday morning when we were at home and have gone up 0.7kg, which is probably not too bad considering.

I’m looking forward to getting back into my clean, healthy eating again, and of course, hitting the gym. Only 11 weeks to Christmas and I am determined to be slimmer than I am now. It’s been great being away and feeling “normal”, so I can only imagine how great it must be to feel “slim”.

Menu Plan Monday

mpm

Last week I ended up making two new recipes on Sat and Sun night. I had a TVP chow mein (from a packet mix), which we didn’t enjoy, and vegetarian potato kugal which was absolutely delicious. We leave on Friday for vacation so I need to do a bit of planning for that as well.

MONDAY: Homemade Pizza (Amy’s request)

From Friday : On vacation . I  have quite a few meals in the freezer to take with us, the others will be quick, easy to make meals like nachos, wraps, salads, etc.

BFL – Week 3, Day 1

I’m VERY excited about my weight loss this week. After losing NOTHING last week, this week I was down 2kg (4.4lbs). I’m so happy and excited. We leave on Friday for our vacation so I’ll weigh in again then. But already knowing the scales are reflecting what I know is happening will be a real motivation while I’m away.

I reached another milestone – when converting my weight into pounds I’m now under 200lbs!!!! 198.7 to be exact.

Body for life : Week 2, Day 6

It’s finally happening. The scales have finally been moving downwards. I think every day this week they have moved a little. I’ve been getting in all my workouts and eating pretty clean. I have so much more energy which is great. And after my clothes shopping success yesterday I’m feeling pretty good about myself. With the weather finally warming up I know Summer is on the way (not the mention we’re off to the beach for a weeks holiday next Friday) and I’m pleased to know I’ll be looking and feeling my best this year.
