13th Aug 2019 – I’ve got this weight loss thing down to a tee!

At the moment 🤣

Right now I feel like nothing’s going to stop me succeeding this time, it’ll be interesting to see how I feel over the next few days, as monthly meltdown is definitely gearing up!

So, onto food. I had my lovely normal day time food, along with cherries and grapes… YES, I remembered to buy fruit this week! I did have a pack of cathedral city cheesy bites this afternoon.

Then for the evening meal I cooked a homemade carbonara. Now I halved the ingredients as there’s just the two of us, this means the recipe as I made it should have been for 3 people, we did eat it all! I also used a bit more garlic, and will use bacon medallions next time for a stronger taste. But it was tasty, easy to make, and quick. My happy surprise is that I enjoyed the wholewheat spaghetti – I didn’t think I would!

The other half has just told me I forget to add the Greek yoghurt to the carbonara… IDIOT that I am! That would explain why it wasn’t as creamy as I was hoping for! Still tasty though 😁

I have also found another great little exercise routine! I did my steps with a view to then doing my strength exercises, however I was more worn out than usual after the step, on account of my step being a good three inches higher! So as I sat down another youtube clip started running, so I watched it and then did it twice.

Now, this new routine is going to be incorporated into the usual, I’m going to start with 1 of the new exercise, then step (And I might as well keep it high now) followed by the strength.

This new one is only a 7 minute programme, uses no equipment, and has no jumping around, but it did make me sweat, so all good! Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/0x4OP0yDE90

Anyway, that’s it from me tonight, good night all. 👋
