Just back from my weigh-in class and I stayed the same, which I am hugely relieved about.
Thinking about it, I put on about 4 pounds when I lost the plot over last weekend, so by staying the same after that at weigh-in, I've actually 'lost' 4 pounds this week, LOL! Just goes to show, if you have a bad 2 days/weekend, but get back on track for the other 5 days it isn't always a complete write off. In the past I would have thought, "Oh, well - blown it now, I might as well carry on and start again next week."
I've eaten well this week, and haven't been hungry. The cold weather means quinoa porridge with rice milk for breakfast, tasty soup n pasta salad for lunch (a fav is carrot and red lentil soup - with added roasted butternut squash and chile - lush!), Chicken or Pork for supper with frylight chips and mixed veg, and a HI-FI bar with a choc options.
Also, a nice surprise is that the M & S orzo salad with roasted tomatoes and basil vinaigrette I enjoyed so much is only 1 sin per 200grm pot. Yummy!
Thick carrot and coriander soup (basic recipe)
Roughly chop 9 medium carrots and 1 large onion and place them in a large saucepan with 1 tsp of ground coriander, 85g/3oz of split red lentils, and 2 to 3 pints of water. Bring to the boil and simmer until carrots are tender, adding more water if necessary. Add veg bouillon or chicken oxo to taste and cook for a further 5 mins. Whizz in a food processor or with a hand blender and serve with a swirl of fat free natural yogurt and fresh coriander leaves if you fancy.
I often make this and then add roasted butternut squash or a roasted sweep potato, and 1/2 teaspoon chile flakes to the basic recipe before I whizz/blend :) Both versions free on Green and Extra Easy SW
