Piglet to Gazelle - My weight loss journey

First_Trouble

My food over the weekend has been appalling and this is mostly down to having all our lighting and sockets rewired over the whole weekend. I wasn't able to access our kitchen until Sunday evening. Was a complete nightmare but now we have lights that work.

I'm not trying to beat myself up about it just looking forward to this week as I am now feeling 100% better and ready to get back into exercise.

This was a real eye opener actually as to how much my diet has changed for the better. I used to eat this way all the time and while it was fun to eat and drink this way it reminded me how crappy and tired it made me feel. Definitely will not be going back.

Once electricians were gone I didn't waste any time making a nice healthy dinner and whipping up a beef bouguignon for tonights tea too. (over night in the slow cooker) quite looking forward to that smelled amazing. Will also be roasting a beef joint for the rest of the week. I love my kitchen!!

I roasted a beef joint last night so am looking at a weeks worth of beef inspired meals. So far I have:

- Beef stir fry
- Beef, sweet pot mash & Veg
- Beef, creamy mushroom sauce & veg

Any ideas any one?

Beef curry? With a little sauce. Looks like you are doing well though

Was supposed to be doing my DVD workout but got a call from the bank that there had been some fraudulent activity on my card :mad:. 40 mins later all sorted but very frustrating and ended up having LO's for dinner. Still have loads of beef left so looking forward to a HM curry for a Friday treat
