Sneaky weigh in....

Hi all, I hope everyone's 2009 is going well! OK - I snuck a weigh in today - I know I should wait until the end of the month, but i've been eating really well and drinking tanker loads of water! I even had to go to Freedom to buy another water bottle for the fridge!! So I jumped on the scales - and guess what... 148.1kgs!! Almost 2 kilos in 4 days! I know it's not likely accurate - time of day etc etc, but it's encouraging!



It's weird seeing my fridge without Coke or Pepsi! So much more room! And a trip to the supermarket the other day proved challenging. I like a lot of variety in what I eat. I have basically resigned myself to wraps for lunch everyday, which I can mix up, tuna, salmon, chicken, etc etc. What to have for dinner was another issue.



Traversing the aisles in my local Woolworths, I was not getting much inspiration other than steak & veggies..until.. I found the canned goods! Whilst I know that my not seem impressive, I remembered that cans often have recipes for easy things on their labels. I found a range of Ardmona tomatos with spices which had some really easy things to make. I'm doing a Moroccan tomato thing with Chick Peas, A Indian tomato thing with beans, and below is the results from my Moroccan Tomato thing with Baby spinach and Brocollini!


















Despite its looks, it was actually very yummy! And in case you hadn't already guessed, I love tomato based foods! So we'll see how this line of food goes - but I do have steak and veggies as back up in the freezer!!!

Back to work....

So it is off to work tomorrow and this is where a lot of my food problems come from - so much choice - Maccas, Pasta, KFC, Pasta, Noodles, Pasta - you get the drift! So I think the solution for me will be wraps - I can have something different every day, and minimal carbs from the wrap.


I JUST HAVE TO STAY AWAY FROM CHOCOLATE!!! AARGH!! Been OK so far - no Chocolate in 2009!


Anyway, I've rambled enough - let's see how tomorrow goes!

  2. Pete!! OMG your nearly half way to your goal for this month, Well done, dont fool yourself you can loose that weight that quickly when you first start dieting and exercising. I think you should post some of those yummy recipes. Make sure you surround yourself with people that support you, kick the ones that try to sabotage you with choc etc. to the curb. A great hint i leart was to make sure you're never hungry when you go to a supermarket, it works you spend less and dont impulse buy. I knw i keep saying this but I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU!!! keep it up
