Update on Week 9 & 10 – two weeks condensed into a very short post (in theory)

Okay so I’ve changed from Zoom to My Meal Mate.  It’s a British Calorie counter.  It’s taken a bit of getting used to but I’m slowly getting the hang of it and the changes I’m having to make.

Another change we’ve made it Stevia, a natural sweetener, instead of sugar.  Which was included in the loaf pictured below.

The other half is putting his magazine subscription to good use and cooked Chicken Kiev’s from the Health Food Guide – with skinny chips.  I think I’ll find the recipe and post in later.

I started back to school on Monday (Week 10) and the kids came back on Tuesday.  I found that having a set lunch wasn’t actually that bad but found I’d gotten out of routine.  I’m going to take more fruit and herbal teas……Plus I’ve been having toasted sandwich for breakfast instead of cereal.

My other half been cooking and we’ve been working on Portion Control  We have oven chips with home made pizza and a small portion of bean.  In fact the dough was halved and small pizza’s made!

So realistically my weight hasn’t changed but I have been tutoring already – so tea and biscuits from clients.  My mum also sent me up a Slimming World magazine, so now thinking about going to the local group to see if that helps as well.

Realistically my meals have been very similar to prior to the school holidays as I’m stuck to a rigid lunch breaks, and my day’s off I’m thinking of the best options.
