just updating how i am going with my weight.
I am writing doen everything i am eating, still wearing my pedometer,^6000 steps per day min. started pregnastics ( exercise classes for pregnant ladies at the hospital run by the physio dept) also trying to walk more, parking furthur away etc and getting a few extra steps in each day.
I was so good today as i so so wanted a bag of lollies but i got come chcken and i am making apricot chicken for dinner, it's in the slow cooker now. mmmmmmmmmmmm. i felt so good to make a good choice and i got no junk, no chips, no choc bics, i was strong.
i have been eating less and trying to be better with some psyllium husks and chia seeds to help me be more regular and fill me up more. i have halved my sugar ( half teaspoon) in my herbal tea and cutting out milk milo.
so i think i step in the right direction.
JBM - WooHoo on skipping the lollies!! It can be soooo hard sometimes cann't it. (especially if you are anything like me and get to thinking "I deserve it.")- you sound like you have things under control at the moment.
CK - I Looovvee vegemite, but I try to avoid bread more often nowdays because I tend to eat too much once I get started (unless it is the very very grainy stuff), I like my vegemite on 9-Grain Vitawheat. Yummy.
Peanutter - Hate the heartburn. I only ever get it when I am pregnant. I constantly have a pack of rennie tablets on me. But (surprise, surprise) I find when I mostly stick to the healthy fresh produce (ie, fresh fruit vege and meat) then I don't get it as often. My guilty indulgance that sets off the heartburn horribly (but I am so bad at saying 'no' too) is this walnut and capsicum dip from the local turkish place. Very oily. And the heartburn is horrendous.
I went to check out Costco today with my dad who is a member (it has recently opened here in Canberra), and I have decided I definitely have to get myself membership. Only I am definitely going to have to avoid the lollie aisle! OMG!!! I could go crazy in there, and everything is bulk - so if you buy a packet of lollies it is a HUGE packet of lollies.
Poo - I'm running out of my lovely macadamia muesli that I sprinkle on top of my porridge in the morning. Going to have to get some more, because it keeps me full, tastes delicious and prevents me from adding skads of sugar
Milo is one of my other little indulgences, but I do try to restrict myself to one glass per day of low fat milk plus the little bit for my breakfast. Am otherwise going nuts for cherries at the moment, thank goodness for winter season produce meaning I can have them and not pay an arm and a leg
I love milo, but we don't buy it in this house because my DH cann't stop himself from eating it all. He will get a glass three quarters full of milo and one quarter full of milk.
