Old Style Weight Loss 2020 - Part 3

nananibbles

Just quickly popping my head round the door as I have a busy day ahead. No exercise for me this morning as I did a long run yesterday and need to rest up. About to walk up to Tesco so that should set me up for the day.
Yesterday I did pretty well on the no snacking front and I did stay on plan (pat on the back for me ) However my portion sizes were pretty large, I have a feeling it will be a STS for me when I weigh in tomorrow but I'll take that over a gain. I can't believe we're 20 days into this! 
Meal Plan:
B - Porridge and bits
S - melon
L - Hummus salad sarnie and red slaw (it's a bloomin' large cabbage)
S - melon 
D - left over chickpea tagine with pommegranate quinoa and greens
P - strip of dairy milk and a biscuit

Hi

Your nephews baking sounds delicious Brambling, well done for managing to have only a tiny nibble of the brownie. And well done for not nibbling nananibbles. Nice to read you’re feeling quite well today ttb. 

Today’s menu

Breakfast: Bacon & egg muffin thingies. Coffee with cream.

Lunch: yesterday’s planned overs- roast chicken and broccoli cauliflower gratin, pickled beetroot. Raspberries & strawberries with cream for pud. 

Dinner: leftover roasted veg from Friday needs eating so that in a salad with feta and pine nuts and balsamic vinegar. Fizzy water

Laters: milk chocolate 

Take care all

Brambling  - WI STS

No surprise there- thank you very much brioche buns and chocolate spread, cereal munching, chocolate scoffing week!
That cake sounds delicious - I may have to try that myself. I'm sure if I read my posts back I'd think I was on a cookery thread not a diet thread  

Despite STS,  after 3 weeks I think I'm getting more into my groove, certainly with the nibbling though not so much the portion sizes! I made some chapatis at the weekend and have been adding those to my evening meal, one more left then I shall be back to the normal size portions. Definitely didn't really nibble yesterday, even cut my breakfast down a little, slow and steady wins the race as they say. I need to get some more fruit today as I've only a small piece of melon left, I may swop my morning snack for some broccoli with a smidgen of hummus to dip it in (though I was very shocked to learn how many calories are in hummus).

Meal Plan
B - porridge with bits
S - broccoli and hummus
L - hummus salad sarnie and red slaw
D - chick pea and squash tagine, quinoa pomegranate and greens, chapati
P - line of dairy milk, small biscuit 

Working today so off for an early morning run
Have a good one
