Really.
I gorged myself on bread, nuts, fruit and crisps over these past 2 days and I've LOST weight.
1.6kg to be precise!
Ok, well. I hopped on the scales before brekky whereas the past two times I've weighed myself in the evenings after brekky, lunch & snacks. But still...it makes me feel heaps better.
Before, I weighed in at 55.2kg (54.8kg with shoes off). Now, I'm 53.2kg with shoes off. I have a sneaky suspicion I was around 56kg in Melbourne from what I remember, so this is really quite good going!
If I keep this up, give up the nuts (on day 1 of the ban) and stay away from sugary teas (on day 4 of the ban), hopefully I'll see more results over the next couple of weeks.
Brekky - post workout cereal bar
Lunch - mango, avocado, spinach and blueberry salad, and a wholegrain bread roll
Arvo snacks - few spoonfuls of rice, tomato/blueberry/cornflake snack pot
Dinner - vegan enchiladas! New recipe and a roaring success, they were so delicious! Check out the how-to below
Recipe: Steam sweet potato, onion, red pepper, garlic, sweetcorn and spinach while the black beans cook in another pot. Mix everything together and throw in some lime juice, a generous sprinkling of cumin and a small amount of the enchilada sauce. Spread a thin layer of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish and make the wraps using the sweet potato et al filling. Place them seam side down in the baking dish, cover with enchilada sauce and any leftover filling, then bake for around 15-20 minutes.
Activity - cycle to gym, 8km on treadmill (could have gone for longer but needed to get to a leg waxing appointment...yeuch), cycle to work.
So tired! Really grateful I've got another day off tomorrow. I'm getting burnt out so quickly! Really craving a sugary tea right now and had to fight against cashew cravings before dinner. Had an orange to stave off sweet cravings after dinner but it's not really helped :( might just go to sleep!
