Today I had
B: Tea
Fruit juice
1 ryvita with soft cheese and slice ham
A banana
Milky coffee
L: Chunky homemade carrot and lentil soup
D: noodles with chilli peanut sauce made with peanut butter
Slice pineapple with piece ham

That looks a lot when written down but am still getting used to eating 'real' food.

Yesterday I actually experienced an 'I-can't-eat-it-moment' I made a delicious meal of salmon with mint raita sauce, colly and carrots. I ate a couple of mouthfuls and couldn't manage any more!
So don't feel bad about eating more today.
I also managed 10,000 steps on my pedometer yesterday too!!

It's a mini babybel light (just a little bigger than a 50p coin, rapped in wax), it is 20g of cheese and amazingly portable. I call it a cheese round for convenience, didn't mean to confuse you!

D - Chilli con carne
Snacks - 6 small prunes, GFY cottage cheese with red peppers

I know what you mean! It has also only happened to me once - otherwise I seem to be able to eat all my meals! I am really trying hard not to pick/snack between meals, even on healthy stuff, as I need to be able to understand when I am properly hungry. I have been a bit worried since I started proper food that I'm eating way too much, and only lost a pound last week, so will see what monday brings!!

Grom with my loss last wek i am not expecting to loss a lot this week, i realise my body will have had to make major changes to accommodate it, today so far no snacking, but working on the bike is proving harder going.

On the positive side i managed an artic caperchino protien shake... the forst coffee flavour i have had in ages

 

[grom]

what did you lose last week? I lost four the week before so wasn't too worried about the one pound but will be worried if it carries on!! I can start the gym at 8 weeks and saturday will be 7 weeks so hopefully that will help me keep the weight coming off!!

 

[tendersage]

OMG that's amazing!! How did you do that??
I walk my dog every night for about 30 - 40 mins and wear a pedometer and average about 6,000 steps a day. However I have done this for a long time so I think I need to up my exercise even more to help shift the weight

 

[tendersage]

No idea Grom it just fell off, i was struggling to eat properly on the puree, had very little energy and even had several days where i napped in the afternoon, i hardly went out, just shopping in Asda once and up to the high street and back with some dry cleaning the other time. Oh and almost forgot last saturday i spent all afternoon in central london seeing Mr Mannur and shopping a little.

considering how much i lost its not surprising i had little energy lol

weight day tomorrow morning i bet i have hardly lost anything this time, my body will have been adjusting

Yesterday's menu:

B: Milky Coffee (I know, not a meal)
