in over 10 years, probably even more.
This morning I weighed in at 108.5kgs. That's a 6.5kilo loss since I started his whole process.
This morning I had a yoghurt banana and apple smoothie. The recipe says it makes 475ml and has 383 cals so I shared with the youngest. It was a bit gritty and could have done with some sweetening but was ok. It also needs more milk for my liking. Too much like a thick shake. I may buy some frozen mango cheeks and use them in another one. Surprising 3 hours later I am not hungry. I thought I would be.
I have just polished off a Mother Earth Baked Oaty bar - the chocolate one. I love these. They are higher in cals (at 180) than the Weight Watchers ones, but I figure with having had only approx. 190cals for breakfast I can indulge myself. I will just have to hide them from hubby.
One thing I have noticed lately is that is get a bit light headed. Nothing to make me fall over or anything like that, just a slightly drunk feeling. It doesn't last long and I figure it is my blood sugar levels getting a bit low. this may have to be something I should keep and eye on.
On a good note though. I was handing over some costumes last night (I sew for some girls in our Calisthenics club) and 1 of the mum's commented on my weight loss. That makes 3 people so far who have said something. If only the one who I sleep with would notice and comment too.
I really didn't think I would lose anything this week. I ate poorly and still have not done any exercise. Last Thursday hubby and I had 1/4 chicken and chips from the local hot chicken shop. Whilst I did eat 3/4 of the chips I could only eat 1/3 of the chicken. Mind you that did include some skin. I bagged it up and hubby took it to work the next day. Friday I had a LARGE special fried rice from our noodle shop. I should have left the last inch as it started to taste oily - yep there was some floating around in the bottom of the container. At least I think it is oil. They tend to boil all the meat/veges/noodles and then fry them off in the wok with the seasoning you have asked for. It could be just excess water but it still tasted oily. Sometimes with this shop you get no oil on the bottom, sometimes you get a lot. It really is hit and miss. I think you get the oil when they are busy (or the lady who usually takes the orders cooks) and last week they were busy.
Most of what I have been cooking for dinner has been from my Symlpy too good to be true cook books. Last night we had Chicken Mornay (250cals) with steamed vegetables. There is a serve left over so that can be someone's lunch tomorrow. Todays lunch will be ham and vegetable soup again. I may see if the youngest, who will probably share it with me, wants baked beans in it, just to change the flavour a bit. If she doesn't, then I won't add the beans.
Round 3 is now open for pre-registration. I will have to think if I will re-join. I haven't looked at any of the motivational videos in a while and I don't use their recipes much. Nor do I follow their exercise plan. I know I said I would but I am letting other things get in the way. And you know what? I am happy with that at this stage. Every day I think of going for a walk but I don't. I know that if I did exercise I would probably lose more weight than I am; I certainly would be fitter and more toned. But there are other things I would rather be doing. Maybe after all the costumes are done I can get my butt into gear. Having to weigh in each week is helping to keep me on track and I haven't yet had a no drop in weight week. What's the bet that now that I have put that out there I will do exactly that? Oh well I have until the end of July to decide.
