Weigh-in day



Okay, I realise that this is probably totally boring for anybody else reading this...but I slogged my guts out in the gym last week (4 hours 43 minutes of slog) I kept to my diet - even cut out coffee because of the sugar and caffeine and I lost a grand total of ..........drum roll.........1/2 pound!! I soooo deserved more than that!!!

I subscribe to a diet website called weight loss resources - its a good way to track everything you eat and the exercise you do and you can have a weekly weigh-in and you get cool graphs and statistics.... After my miserable 1/2 pound loss this morning I posted a moan on the forum entitled Its not worth it... and I got over 40 replies (including a little bit of falling out between the post-tees). To sum up the advice I got, I should eat more and exercise less vigorously! Cool! I'm sure I can do that!!

I started eating more by making a really nice chicken and butternut squash curry - it was easy, yum and only 575 calories! (pictured top right!) We always start experimenting with new recipes when we start dieting/eating healthy - in the last week we have had Chinese chilli chicken which was so nice we had it two nights on the run, then we had Kung Pao Chicken which was also very nice!

well that's the boring part of today's blog over with now for the fun part....

ahem....sorry I am just feeling boring today.....
