Weight Loss this Week -3kgs/-6.61lbs

I was able to sort my food out this week. Spending a few weeks recording what I ate without changing anything was very helpful. Breakfast was often fine but from there things would go downhill. Instead of having meals I would have sweet snacks. Why? Because they were quick and easy and of course I like them.

This week I made sure everyday I had a good filling breakfast (usually oatmeal with banana/apple, raisins and soymilk which is a big favourite of mine) and I replaced my sweet snacks with fruit. That worked really well for me. I didn't miss the sweet taste in my mouth and I felt quite satisfied. This week I will work on my lunch.

I'm still exercising and weighting myself everyday. I've decided to write what the scale registers here every Monday.

We had a lovely weekend. We went to an area of southwest London called Richmond -upon-Thames and walked along the Thames for about 8 miles. It was one of those rare Autumn days, sunny crisp beautiful.



Life is Good!!!

  1. Feeling in control of your food gives you such a sense of power! And when you combine that with all the exercise.... Good things are bound to happen!

    Congratulations on your long walk. I love when the weather cooperates with crisp sunny days - I could walk forever.

  2. That sounds great, I am working on the snacking thing too atm. Some days were ending up just snacking and no meals. What a beautiful countryside.

  7. Nice pictures. Oatmeal made with milk and raisins is a favorite of mine. I make 8 servings at a time and freeze them, then micro them for breakfast. Fruit is an excellent sub for other sweets. So often when I have the other things, they intensify my longing for more and more. I become insatiable.
