Another day

Well, I’m feeling marginally better today than yesterday. The weight I seemed to have gained has now gone down slightly…so I’m back to 13, 2.2lb. As Long as that last lb is gone by Monday, I can deal!!

I’m rather looking forward to the weekend. I have been thinking about the advice that sodium could be causing the gain on the scales…so I’m spending Saturday making freezable low calories meals that I can throw into the oven!! I’m going to cut salt out of my diet as much as possible since those pre-packaged ready meals CAN’T be any good for you really!! AND, if I make it all fresh I know what has gone into it. I’m not overly sure on what I will make, but a few ideas are Pasta Bakes, Veggie Chilli, Veggie Lasagne (using brine soaked peppers instead of pasta!)…any more ideas would be appreciated! I think we will have Tuna one night and Salmon one night too….so all in all…I should have a good mixture. Also, does anyone know how to make a good low calorie sweet and sour sauce? I want to do some nice stir frys, but don’t like using ready made sauces if I can help it! ALSO…any low cal curry sauce recipes?!

I’m going to be super organised next week. I’m going to chop all my veg for my daily pasta too, so I don’t get onion fingers just before work in the morning!

Haven’t decided if I will go to the gym tonight or not…am feeling a little achy so might take the day off and go tomorrow instead?!

I have discovered a super face wash…Dr Murad! I had never used it until someone at work recommended it for Acne…my skin is looking so much better and I have only been using it for about a month or so! I can’t believe the difference to how it was at the beginning of the year…no more painful red spots for me! Tehehe…

I was really excited the other day….a few weeks ago I brought a pair of work trousers that were a little tight around the waist….well I tried them on a few days ago and the fit!!! I couldn’t believe it...and they look much better than my other work trousers!

Anyway…I’m at work (again!) so I better go get some work done!!

At work as well.

Good deal on the trousers fiting!  It's an awesome feeling isn't it.

You're a workout fiend!

It really sounds like you're doing great. Congrats on the pants fitting- that's the best! :)

I'm not nearly so organized, but I hope you're able to achieve all the things you're setting out for yourself- I'm sure you will.

No matter what happens on Monday's wi, whether you lose that additional pound you gained or not, just keep thinking about all the healthy choices you're making, and those pants fitting!!! :)

Hope

you had a great weekend and got all of your shopping and prepairing done.

I watch my sodium like a hawk! I have not salted any food in months and it is one of the things...along with calories and fat and carbs...that I keep track of on a daily basis. Just be sure if you do eat something high in sodium that you drink bunches of water afterwards. I read on a site somewhere that people only need between 1100-300 grams of sodium per day and that most people have more than three times that. Not sure how true it is but I believe it is possible. I dont think we pay enough attention to sodium.

Hope you are having a great Monday!
