Food Diary Wednesday 6th August 2008

Well, today was going to be a red day. I took in a chicken and bacon caesar salad to work for lunch. The chicken was sweet chilli and lime flavour chicken fillets from Marks. But I was at a meeting / presentation in work in a building I hadn't been in before which had a lovely little cafe. I had a vegetable risotto for lunch. It was lush! I'm guessing about 6 syns for the oil but I could be wrong (please leave a comment if I am!). And I had the chicken salad for tea - yes, you guessed it, that was lush too! So today turned out to be a mix 2 max day. Loving my food at the moment!

HEb - 2 slices bread

Food diary Monday 4th August 2008

Feeling positive - I've had quite a good weekend with Saturday being the only flexi day, which was planned. Back to work today, which was a red day:

Yum, yum, I will definately be making the caesar salad and the tikka masala again! I even made pilau rice to go with the tikka masala (well, sort of pilau rice!). I fried some cumin, nutmeg and cinnamon in frylight, added a chopped onion and fried that for a bit. Added 50g of basmati rice and chicken stock (made with bovril). Bring to boil and simmer for 10 minutes - yum yum yum!

Weigh in Friday 1st August 2008 *New Start*

Hmmm, not a happy bunny this morning - I've put on 4lbs! And after quite a good week. So I've decided to restart my progress on the slimming world website.

Starting weight = 11 stone 12 pounds
Weight loss this week = 0 pounds
Weight loss in total so far = 0 pounds
Current weight = 11 stone 12 pounds
Goal weight = 10 stone 7 pounds

My BMI is now 25.2 (was 24.6), my body fat is 30.9% (was 29.7%) and my hydration level is 50.4% (was 51.3%).

Not looking good, but today is a new start! I've also measured myself so I can see any progress in that way:

Bust = 37.5 inches
Waist = 29.5 inches (pleased with this as I'm normally 30 - 32 inches)
Hips = 38.5 inches
