This week has not been a good week for weight loss. Due to over-indulging on alcohol at Glastonbury (it was necessary to survive the mud) a couple of pounds have crept back on. Today I am back to the herbal teas, water and healthy foods and I plan to get those excess pounds shifted by next week.
On the plus side I did do lots of exercise over the weekend and must've walked for miles, uphill, downhill and through thick mud - my legs were aching so much I felt like I had done a vigorous workout.
We also ate mostly healthy foods, there is so much variety on offer it definitely wasn't a burger and chips weekend for us. Apart from one bacon roll (it was lovely Somerset organic bacon) I had banana, nuts and coffee for breakfast and the rest of my meals mainly consisted of lovely vegetarian offerings, Falafel and salad in a wrap, Crispy (ok it was fried!) Halloumi with salad and Houmous and corn & lentil cakes with mixed salad. After eating all this lovely food my husband is definitely willing to eat more meat-free meals now.
I'm going to try and have a couple of wine free weeks now too, but I may have to start that tomorrow as we're off to see Take That tonight and I can't promise that a drop or two of wine or lager won't pass my lips.
I'm off now to see how all the other MUMenTUM ladies got on this week, hopefully a lot better than me. Their posts are shown below.

I want all those veggie options...especially the Halloumi one!! I'm glad I don't drink anymore! Too many calories involved! Enjoy Take That...tell Gary I love him!! xxx
ReplyDeleteMaking more veggie meals.. Sounds like something i should try out. Where would you find good recipes?
ReplyDeleteI am not vegetarian but I do enjoy eating some vegetarian meals. Falafel is one of my favourites and I love Halloumi. Have a great time at the concert.
ReplyDeleteThink how much you have toned your legs with all that walking! especially in the mud.
Here is to a good week.
Don't worry we'll have a good week this week.

ReplyDeleteNot sure about my legs being toned but they sure are aching! Falafel is definitely going on my shopping list this week, yum.
