Monthly Weigh in and Food diary - February

Another food/weigh in update for you! Slow and steady is how I like to do it. I find the slower it comes off, the slower it goes back on, I'm not one for a 'quick fix' or a fad diet. This is a lifestyle change. A dripping tap still fills a bucket..

I found it quite hard to keep on top of my weekly food updates and I was kicking myself for forgetting to take photos of my food so I thought I would do a monthly summary with some of my favourite foods of the week. I started the month at 11 stone 7, where will it end...?

This month hasn't been very good but I want to post it anyway. Journey's aren't always in a straight line. See my last post for the first week of February here.

Week 4 -2.5lbs

I went into more detail about this week in my last post but I had a pretty good week and a great loss!

 Week 5 -2.5lbs

This week went really well despite me thinking I had eaten too much! 5lbs in 2 weeks is unheard of for me, I imagine I will gain next week. I was lucky enough to get some ‘body magic’ awards at Slimming world so I was chuffed. I batch cooked some quorn bolognaise which I ate a LOT of, but it was super yum. I have a feeling next week won’t go so well.. 9lbs to target.

Week 6  + 3.5lbs

Valentines week. I didn't have high expectations given the 3 course meal I prepared for me and my boyfriend but I tried to make up with it by going to the gym more this week. My boyfriend bought me a food processor so I have been making healthy snack balls (recipe here), falafel, hummus, cauliflower pizza, sweet potato brownies and all-sorts.

Week 7 -1.5lbs

I can't believe how bad I did last week! This week didn't start well either, with a meal out on the night of weigh in and cake the day after. I also don't have a car at the moment so I am struggling to get to the gym but I am walking a lot more. Favourite meal this week has to be the veggie fajitas! I also made a really nice chilli.

Total weight loss this month: -3lbs
Pounds to target: 11.
