Smaller plates.

Bee coz I....use dinner plates that are 1950's size, it does not take much to fill a plate. A full plate makes us feel satisfied but really it's a much smaller portion.

After a busy day at work I was looking for a low effort dinner so I cheated and picked up some sliced roast beef and made mushroom and onion gravy (low salt, no trans fat) then filled the plate with corn, peas and brussel sprouts I timed it and it only took 15mins to put it together. While gravy is not great the whole meal is still better than take away.

I couldn't do Zumba last night as my neck is still stiff, although it has definitely loosened up over night so should be good for Wednesday.

I spent the evening planning my Christmas decorations. I like to get them up on the 1st dec. I'm not doing much and only doing inside the house this year. Which is more than I have done for the last few years.

Hope you all have a good day

Back on track

Bee coz I...ate one very very very bad meal yesterday, I made sure I was much more on track today.

Woke up with a stiff neck, probably from Billy's driving lesson yesterday.

Spent the morning walking around the Healsville craft market, it was great, good quality crafts not to bad prices and lots of yummy food options.

Came home and did a couple of chores then headed out for a walk with Connie. The weather was perfect.

Now I just have to finish the vacuuming and I think I will have an early night.

A day at the races

Bee coz I...decided to take my son Billy on a driving lesson, we ended up at the races.

Billy's dad Rod races this car and we decided to go see him do a few laps. It was a great day out, Billy got us there and back safely, Rod pumped out a few laps (until he blew a head gasket) and we had a very indulgent lunch overlooking the sea.

Wait until you read what I ate! - it was so good but so bad!

B:diet shake
L:starch, fish and oil (aka fish and chips)

Still doing ok

Bee coz I...splashed out on some fresh basil my lunch for the last two days has been delish! See pic!

In not so good news my fav Zumba/freestyle dance instructor is being replaced for two of our classes - boo we love Claire!

Big meeting tomorrow, there is a chance media might be there - best make sure I'm having a good hair day!

And get a good night sleep so I clock up some beauty points - night night Bee x x

Doing ok

Bee coz I...had scale shock the other day it has been much easier sticking to my eating healthy plan, although I have missed out on Zumba as I had a dinner to go to and didn't get my walk in last night as I was to busy playing with the kids, I have done ok on the food front!
I can make up the exercise - that's the easy bit for me.

Lucky I had pea wack in the freezer so I have been filling up on that and weetbix. I have a nice lunch planned today and I am going back through my old posts for forgotten favorites. That 1.2kg will be gone in no time :)

Well I had better race or I will be late for work - bye for now Bee x x

Wrong way go back!

Bee coz I...wasn't going to step on the scales until Xmas in an attempt to be cautious with my eating to break the happy to maintain cycle and shift some numbers, I noticed that my healthy eating went from 90% on track down to 75%. It's clear I need to bring back accountability as I had gained 1.2kg back on!

My weight does fluctuate by 1kg anyway but the point was to lose not gain or at best maintain. I could make excuses, injuries, visitors, crazy time in work but non of that cuts it with me as its my hand that puts food in my mouth and my hands are fine! Excuses are the biggest barrier to weight loss!

So it's back to weekly weigh ins and me writing what I eat on here! It stops me putting rubbish in my mouth if I have to write it here!

Even if its only to put up my food intake My plan is to post daily.

Stay tuned!
