Week 14 weight loss journal

Heyy =)

I found this saying a couple of years ago but now I don't remember where so I made one myself. Just thought it was funny (and so true) to share. I wish I took my own advice, I find so many excuses not to do things!

I'm super excited. Not only am I on spring break but my boyfriend is coming tomorrow from Sweden to spend easter with me. It will be so much fun and I can't wait.

Yesterday I went shopping for jeans and I found the perfect ones. I must say it was a hard task though, I'm currently between sizes and the jeans I have are too big but the size down is still tight. A bit frustrating.

Tomorrow I'm going for a much needed trip to the hairdresser. I love the feeling of having a light fresh cut but I haven't found the perfect hairdresser yet. I never end up leaving 100% satisfied.

Food

For some breakfasts I had the normal green smoothie but around the middle of the week my fruit ran out and I didn't want to buy more since I'll be gone this week so didn't make sense to stock up on it. When I didn't have green smoothies I had some toasts with turkey breast and a cup of milk/coffee.

On monday me and my family tried a new restaurant downtown called Found You and they serve fondue. It was so so good, I really loved that place. The fondue came with a few varieties of meat and prawns, french fries, rice, fresh fruit and an assortment of 4 dressings. For dessert - no judging - I had chocolate fondue with strawberries. Delicious stuff.

I believe it was on tuesday that I made one of my favourite dishes: bolognese. Can't really go wrong with a bolognese, specially if it has plenty of tiny bits of carrot (I love biting on carrots in a bolognese). I used quinoa pasta and served with with broccolli on the side. For another meal I made meatballs with mash potato and broccolli.

The rest of the week I had a lot of grilled chicken, quinoa pasta and egg (I love pairing a fried egg with pasta because then I don't need a sauce, I use the yolk as a sauce for the pasta and it's all good).
I also had omelette on one of the days because I wasn't very hungry and didn't feel like cooking.
Today for dinner I made mushroom risotto with broccolli, red bell pepper and some pak choi.
As snacks I've been having a lot of fruit, that I also bring to school in a container, usually orange or apple. I also bring a sandwich with me to school or a banana.

Not to mention a LOT of water. I drink plenty of water normally but the weather is starting to warm up so I drink even more.

Exercise

I exercised twice but I lacked a lot of motivation to do it, I admit. Even so it was a good effort.
