I am buzzing. I am making good process. I’ve been watching
what I eat and going to the gym most weekdays and I’m feeling all the better
for it! Don’t get me wrong most gym sessions include a 15 minute jog on the
treadmill and some rowing, but hey ho I am definitely feeling the results.
WOOOOO. Definitely motivated to keep going.
Weight: 89 kilos. (I know this doesn’t sound like much of a
loss, but when I said 90 give or take it was definitely more give than take
lol)
Size: 16, Got a new pair of skinny black trousers for work
that definitely would not have fit just after Christmas
Mood: Motivated
I have had some barriers in the last few weeks. Namely a
very weak ankle which I’ll go into more detail in a separate blog post! Also I
am going on a short holiday with my boyfriend to Barcelona this weekend. Whilst
I hope there will be a lot of walking * que fitbit champion of the week*, I
also anticipate a lot of eating and drinking. I am not going to skimp out on my
holiday! ;). Oh and pancake day. Had a couple of cheeky pancakes #nom. Though
have also decided to give up cheese for lent. I am not particularly religious,
just enjoy the idea of the challenge. Let’s see how long this one lasts haha.
The main reason I wanted to write this post for, was to
remind myself the importance of writing lists, planning food, and being
organised.
These are a couple of my food plans that I like to stick to
my desk computer at work as a visual reminder, but I also love doing it and
thinking about what I can eat for a week.
TOP 3 BREAKFAST/LUNCH TO TAKE TO WORK
Scrambled eggs
Eggs are so easy, cheap and quick. They fill you up for the
whole morning, especially if you have it with some baked beans. I make mine in
the microwave at work in the morning. Boom. Breakfast sorted no planning
required.
Yoghurt Oats
This one requires a little bit of planning. Nothing major. I
stick some porridge oats in a jar, some natural yoghurt and some frozen fruit.
At the moment in the freezer i've got frozen mango, strawberries and banana. If
I do it the night before the fruit has normally defrosted by morning. A little
high in sugar but keeps me going til lunch time.
Frozen Soup
I like to make soup in big batches on the weekend, and then
stick it in the freezer in portions for me to take to lunch in the week. I try
to have a wholemeal roll/muffin handy to have with it, but also have been
enjoying, Kallo paprika rice cakes (only 31 calories per cake). My go-to soups
to make are minestrone (wouldn’t have this with the roll), leek and potato, and
carrot and red lentil. I love experimenting with new flavours and bunging
everything together that I have in the fridge/cupboards. I think the last batch
made at least 4 portions so there is always a back up lunch in the freezer.
Salads
Not gonna lie, Salad isn’t my favourite thing to have for
lunch. However you can make them more interesting with things such as tuna,
prawns, boiled egg, olives, sundried tomato, pine nuts (expensive!) and chicken.
I will try to update with my progress in the next couple of
weeks. I am going to try on the bridesmaid dress again tonight to work out how
much it needs to be taken up, so we will see how it feels now i'm feeling a
little more confident.
Toodle pip!
