Week 8 weigh in. Who said "you can't have your cake and eat it to"?


Well all odds have been defied this week, which means I’m not sure where my theory stands! A 2kg loss is nothing short of a miracle… so I guess what I have to say is this, "you can have an extremely bad blowout with nil effect if you sandwich it between 2 good weeks"…
I have been asked again and again, "what am I doing"? so I am going to summarise it for you.

* I am eating smaller portions (not man size) Alan doesn't eat like a bird...
* I don't eat in front of the TV (most of the time) and I try to be aware that I am eating.
* I have cut right back on wine, I hope the benefits of weight loss outweigh the medicinal effects of red wine on the heart!
* I try not to eat too much bread and if I do, it’s not white bread :(
* I don’t deny myself treats, instead, I factor them in.
* I try to eat salad or vegies at every meal (breakfast is sometimes a bit tricky)
* I walk (this week I walked 4 times).
* I don’t stress out if I fail, I just try to start eating healthy again as soon as I can.
In summary, I am aiming for a healthy lifestyle change based on balance. Here's to old age and great physical health…
