This is the last delicious Steamed Suet Pudding with Homemade Raspberry Jam that will be passing my lips for a good while! After puffing and panting up hill and down dale during my Summer Hols I met a few of my Demons and I came to a few conclusions! I will be trading the pudding for more more of these:
I have not weighed myself for about three years! Silly Billy! It is now official I have done something that I have resisted for so long, I have joined 'Slimming World', my target weight is about 2 stone over what I weighed the last time I jumped on some scales! When I reach that target I will still have about 3 stone to lose! That is pretty heavy! No wonder I have been puffing and panting. Where did all that weight come from? Aaah! Must be the love of baking. Hopefully I can still blog delicious recipes but they won't cause a cardiac calamity. Today I have been busy making 'Low Fat' Turkey Burgers, and 'Sin Free' Meatloaf to put in the freezer. Henry said "But Mom you won't be you, if your not. . . . . . " "Not what, Henry?" He was actually gonna use the 'F' word! Euan doesn't quite know what has hit him as we went out yesterday me walking and him on his bike and today I left the car behind for the school run and carried his scooter when I went to collect him. He loved scooting home, while I puffed and panted behind. Day 2 of
Diet Healthy Eating Plan, I am not seeing any results yet!!!
I followed the dukan diet last year (October - Dec24th) and lost 1 1/2 stone, I lost a further 1/2 Jan/Feb . So far I haven't put any weight back on! (I did adapt it to contain more fruit, I can't manage on protein). I do recommend it though because the weight lose is quite rapid. (I'm 2 dress sizes smaller - it really is noticeable)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! You can do it!
Changing eating habits is hard sometimes. I'm working on it myself...I just keep telling myself that not only will I look better, but I'll feel better too! There are so many good things about being healthier! Best of luck with your new goal!

You'll have to make lots of heart but low-cal foods for winter time like soups and stews :)
