Day 46

I forgot to mention yesterday that it was Weigh in Wednesday. Maybe that was a convenient lapse in memory because I wasn't overly excited about my loss this week. Last week I lost a big fat zero so I was expecting something big this week but only 600g. But it's heading in the right direction so I'll take it. I'm thinking of tweaking my breakfasts this week so it's not so carb-heavy to see if that has any effect on my weight loss? Because seriously, I'm doing everything right. Nutrition is SPOT on, 98% following the menu as you can tell from my blog (2% accounting for red flag days, which have still been within 1200 calories, just not on the 12wbt plan - and those times that I've run out ingredients required for the menu plan). As for exercise, I've missed 3 workouts in 7 weeks - and even then I've done double the following day to make up for it! Anyway, stay tuned!

Breakfast: 
Avo toast with smoked salmon

Today's breakfast called for 2 slices of toast but I opted for one today. My weight loss has slowed down a bit so I'm cutting down on my carbs and making up the calories with snacks such as veggie sticks and yoghurt. Let's see how we go with that!







Lunch:
Chicken and Grape Salad with Walnut and Feta

This sexy little salad has got everything going for it... looks AND substance. It's got sweet and salty, creamy and crunchy, smooth and sharp... this will definitely be a regular in summer!! In fact, substitute the chicken with turkey and you've got a great salad for Christmas day. The walnuts give it that festive feel too. This was meant to have red grapes but I couldn't find any.






Dinner:
Not so naughty Nachos

So this was on the menu for tomorrow night. Tonight was meant to be Greek Veggie Skewers. But I had a red flag day sneak up on me for tomorrow night and I already had the mince in the fridge! So to avoid wastage, opted for this tonight. Veggie skewers can wait, fresh mince in the fridge can't! :)
This was really great by the way. I've never toasted mountain bread before and it was quite lovely.

    This may not be helpful, but I'm friends with other people losing weight and when they have started to slow down with weightloss or even plateau, they started eating MORE and started losing weight... I'm really unsure of how it works, eating more, but maybe try upping your intake a bit for a week, by maybe 100-200g and it might help? Or maybe even try a week of eating at your BMR rate? It's worth a shot. I know girls eating 2000 calories, and exercising, and dropping a LOT of weight. It's so odd to hear after being told to stick to 1200 no matter what.

    Hi Emmajane, thanks for that tip! I've read a few people on the forums are doing something similar ie mixing up their calories so it's 1000 one day, 1400 another and 1200 another. So it keeps your body guessing. I'm tempted to try what your friends are doing for a week to see how I go. My body is definitely hanging on to that weight for some reason. Maybe the routine has become predictable? Thanks for the feedback, it's worth a try!! :)
