http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ca88andra7048/A daily diary on my journey toward weight loss, health and fitness. hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ca88andra7048/322925Gee I’m good – if I may say so myself. I started a new cardio routine at the gym yesterday and, although I thought I was going to die at one stage, I managed to work through it and I felt so good! I rock! I am the best! I can’t tell you just how invigorating it feels to accomplish a cardio task....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ca88andra7048/319122In an effort to stay wheat free, but also not miss the foods I like to eat, I bought some wheat free pitta breads. They are the worst things I have ever tried. Well, maybe not the worst, but nearly. They can’t be folded because they break, so when I went to make pitta bread roll ups to take to...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ca88andra7048/318608I get bored with food. With normal every day food that is. I enjoy exotic combinations and preparation intensive meals. However these days I have so little time that I can no longer put these meals on my weekly menu. So I’m limited in my choice of meals. Limited not only by time, but also by my...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ca88andra7048/317739As Mondays are just too hectic, I will have to keep posting my weekly results on a Tuesday, even though I will still weigh and measure on a Monday. So, here is this week’s results and yes, I’m very happy with them. My weight hasn’t changed; I’m still 70.5kgs, however I’ve lost more off my...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ca88andra7048/317107Food is not cheap these days and sometimes the healthiest foods are more expensive than their less healthy counterparts. For example, white bread with practically no nutritional value is cheaper than the bread with added vitamins or grains. The most expensive breads are those made with non-wheat...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ca88andra7048/315632So Monday came and went and here I am on Tuesday recording my Monday results. I'm now 70.5kg – that’s a loss of half a kilo or 1.1 pounds. Bust 36inches - my goodness I've grown an inch! Waist 34 inches – a loss of half an inch since last week. Hips 38.5 inches – again, a loss of half an inch...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ca88andra7048/314954Last night we had homemade pizza for dinner. It was the best ever. We, or rather I, always make the base from a packet mix. My son hates getting the dough all over his hands, so I knead it while he adds flour to the bench and my hands. Usually I wear disposable gloves but I had run out of them....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ca88andra7048/313478As I mentioned in my “Suddenly Seeking Something” blog today, work provided a gourmet hamper of food for us while we watched the Melbourne Cup on the big screen. Luckily the food provided was reasonably healthy. There was cold chicken, ham, salami, sausage and smoked salmon, green salad, coleslaw...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ca88andra7048/313152Well, I’ve lost a kilo, but my measurements haven’t changed much, so my news is goodish. I’m now 71 kgs, my bust hasn’t changed at 35 inches, my waist has decreased by half an inch to 34.5 inches (still more than a couple of weeks ago) and my hips are the same at 39 inches. I do feel a lot better...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ca88andra7048/312778I like my weekends to be relaxing when it comes to food. I would prefer easy to prepare food rather than anything that requires intricate cooking methods. I often end up eating only two meals on a weekend because I put off having breakfast until lunchtime. Sometimes on weekends I make cooked...
