A fresh start

Easter is over. Chocolate is a thing of the past. Exercise is my new mantra.

Welcome to yet another fresh start and a renewed focus.

Good news is that I didn't put on any weight over Easter, bad news...I didn't lose any either (I know, shock horror)

1 day down of my renewed focus and I'm doing good. I was STARVING last night though.

Today is another day, another busy day, another day of my diet.

Easter...whoops

Who am I kidding? No sugar before Easter?

Computer says noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ok, so sugar free week will need to start after Easter.

Feeling BLAH today...

Some days I just feel blah...and today is one of those days.

I feel like a sausage stuck in a very tight skin...goodness, such a unique image...

Had to get into my comfy pants today.

I need to have a cleansing week. Yes, a cleansing week.

I met up with my two sister-in-laws this morning and over a sugar-filled "high tea" at Eurolounge, I was inspired. One of my beautiful sisters told me that she spent the week away from processed sugar and felt so much better! (Now, both my sister's in law are my ideal weight, so it's a little eye-opening to see that even skinny people need to be on a diet...constantly!)

So I too shall go SUGAR free this week.

Hmmm...should I get in some sugar before the weekend is over?

Quick and Healthy in less than 5 mins!

I'm going to share with you a quick and healthy lunch idea.

Ever had a day where you just didn't feel like actually eating anything for lunch, but you knew that you had to eat something to avoid being hungry in the afternoon?

Ok, I know, strange question...but hear me out. Today is quite a warm day and I am not feeling like going to much effort.

Here's what I just had for lunch. I made a smoothie! I put in some yoghurt, frozen berries, soy milk (of course you can use lite milk), one small banana and blended it all together...wooshka! A healthy less than 5 min lunch!

Truth be known, I've had this as a breakfast smoothie (without the banana sometimes).

Go on, try it.

Snack Idea!

Oh my gosh! Snack idea!

Water crackers and the little pot of Philidelphia cream cheese (the light version!).

Don't wait for a pre-made, pre-packaged snack idea. Enjoy the simple treat and hunger-filler.

PLUS, I just threw the box of crackers and the little container of Philidelphia Cream Cheese straight into my handbag, so no preparation. When it came time to eat, you use the cheese as a dip. Voila!

Weigh in Day!

Wow, these weigh in days come around too quickly!

I am another 1/2 kg down. Thank goodness for the hair-cut...hey! As long as the reading on the scales is less than last week, I'm cheering! Down is good!

Could've been 1 kg down...damn cheesecake

Momentum

I'm finding that I'm in a momentum of diet thinking. Now that I've lost 2 kgs after my last plateau and the numerous comments I've had about my weight loss, I am inspired and motivated to keep going!

I find myself eating smaller meals, opting for water rather than soft drink and generally thinking healthy!

So, my conclusion, you really need 2-3 weeks to get the momentum going.

Of course, I haven't managed to do it by sacrificing everything. Everything in moderation!
