Saturday and Sunday - Rest

I actually flew to Hong Kong on Thursday and had all day meetings on Friday and Saturday before flying home overnight on Saturday night, hence the weekend without working out!

I actually went to see a Nutritionist on Monday as my weight loss has been slower than my Doctor would have expected - healthy is about 0.5kg/week or 2kg/month. I have been sitting at about 1kg/month and working my butt off. So, I wanted to see what was going on. Basically I am eating too much protein and fruit and not enough vege's and dairy, which is definitely a relief. I thought she was going to tell me I should give up my precious carbs, but my limited intake (2 serves per day) is a good target.

So, I tried my hand at incorporating dairy with my 2 serves of fruits to fill me up in the afternoon so I dont feel I need a massive steak or piece of chicken for dinner!

Give this a try - 1 small banana (sliced), plus 100g of 0% plain chobani (or any greek yoghurt), a tablespoon of honey and a sprinkle of chia seeds all for 150 calories and super tasty!

 

The totals this week are really starting to make me feel like I am losing weight. 1-2kg loss doesnt really mean a lot but now I am over 3kg lost and I am starting to notice it and my belt is down a loop and my bra's are all fitting me properly again  - always off the chest first, of course!

 

Weight loss this week = 0.8kg (1.8lbs)
Total = 3.6kg (7.9lbs)

 

Weight loss figures sound way better in pounds I have decided!
