On Saturday I was feeling tired and lazy so simply cooked a steak and made orzo with chilli and garlic again. Super fast and tasty.
Ocado came again on Sunday (I’d managed to smash a kilner jar of flour all over my kitchen and it turned out that Ocado had kilner jars on special offer – win!) and brought me a chicken which I had with broccoli and a jacket potato. I didn’t quite manage to throw away all of the skin.
On Monday my evening plans unexpectedly fell through so I went home and made the ultimate comfort food – a chicken, mushroom and tarragon pie. No, not terribly diet but not too bad either and I only ate half of it which is definitely progress.
This has been another week where I didn’t really care that much and I didn’t count my points at all. I just can’t stop eating nutella which is SO STUPID. Somehow I’ve managed to stay exactly the same weight as I was last week, so in total I’ve lost 10lbs which works out as 1lb per week. It’s OK but it’s not great. I think that what has bedded in is a general attitude towards things like oil/butter – I just don’t use anything like as much as I would have done before. My portions are smaller. There have been definite mental shifts which seem to be making a difference even when I’m not being very good and that can only be a good thing…it makes me hopeful that when I do finally lose all of the weight, then it may be possible to maintain that loss.
You ate meatballs in TOMATO SAUCE?The World is ending…
slow and steady franny. the middle way!
There was way too much tomato sauce if I'm completely honest.
Totally. Hopefully it'll mean I'll keep it off this time.
Hey, just wanted to say I really enjoy reading your weekly blogs! I've just put orzo and squid on my ocado shopping list π
Oh thank you! That's really nice to hear. I'm obsessed with orzo because it cooks so quickly…ditto squid!
Phew – that's better π
Oh, checked back to see how it's going – all ok? You've been quiet! My suggestion for the Nutella dilemma: maybe put it in the bin π Keep blogging, it's good to see your continued progress.
