Day 23 of 21

Back on the wagon today.

A really enjoyable day of food, and with the sun finally shining in these parts managed to fit in a walk this afternoon as well.
Yesterday didn't quite go to plan with a town trip involved.

Breakfast today was an Egg & Bacon Pie

made by placing chopped bacon in a muffin tray

with an egg cracked on top

then baked in the oven for about 20 minutes.

Eaten on toast with chopped tomato on top

it was beautiful.

Something I'll make again for the kids.

Another very similar suggestion I've seen before is bread (crusts removed), pushed into the muffin tins to make a casing, then the chopped bacon & raw egg added and again baked.

The resulting bacon & egg pies are already made in a toast crust.

Lunch was delicious.

Chicken & Pumpkin Tortilla.

Beautiful.

And dinner was a Honey Lemon Prawn Stir-Fry

A huge serve that I could barely get through.

Feels good to be back on track.

Here's to a good week.

21 Days Finished

With my 21 days at an end, I have to admit to sliding off the rails the past few days.

I am willing to blame the fact that we were without oven and cooktop for those days and found cooking two family meals in one old electric frying pan was more than I could handle.

This morning's weigh-in has me at exactly the same as last week,

so I'm prepared to call it maintenance.

I  have gone through my Wonder book and selected seven days to follow for this week.

I am determined to reach 60 kg.

Let's do it!

Day 19 of 21

Okay, so I'm not following the plan.

I'm going to re-do Week 3 next week.

Still eating healthily,

but haven't been able to walk at all due to weather.

We're installing our new oven today,

which should make cooking separate meals

so much easier.

Today I had the Muesli for breakfast,

2 Corn Thins for Morning Tea,

Small piece of leftover steak & salad for lunch

Steak and Salad for tea

(and maybe two beers).

I was out, it was expected.

Day 19, done and dusted!

Nineteen down, two to go.

Day 18 of 21

I seem to have had a derailment from my 21 Day Plan.

Not so much in terms of eating badly,

just not following the book.

And the main reason being,

that we pulled out our oven and cooktop

two days ago,

meaning our only means of cooking at the moment

is the barbecue and an old electric frying pan.

So, I think I'm going to try for another seven days straight

from the book next week.

Should have my new oven in place over this weekend.

So Day 18 consisted of:

A small piece of steak for breakfast.

Half a ham sandwich for morning tea at school (cross country).

Lunch was a Breakfast Bean recipe from the book

(good warm food for a cool, drizzly day).

And dinner was steak and salad.

Day 18, done and dusted!

Eighteen down, three to go.

Day 17 of 21

Didn't follow the book today.

Well, I started off by the book.

My favourite Bran & Cranberry Muesli.

Then a friend came out for the day, and

rather than try to explain my eating patterns,

I reverted to 'normal' eating.

Morning tea was a couple of corn thins with cheese & tomato.

Lunch was a Ham & Salad sandwich,

with some grapes to follow.

Tea was Fillet steak with Salad.

No major food issues,

just not by the 'book'.

Day 17, done and dusted!

Seventeen down, four to go.

Day 16 of 21

I tend to be swapping and changing my daily menu a little to suit my mood.

I replaced this morning's Banana & Passionfruit Smoothie

with

Bran & Cranberry Muesli.

It's a really enjoyable breakfast, Wallace had the same.

It's not only nice to eat, but keeps you satisfied right through until lunch.

They suggest in the book that you can use this muesli as a 'go-to' breakfast

if you don't feel like the recommended meal.

I think I'll have it again tomorrow.

I went to town today for supplies.

I did have the Caesar Salad as per plan

but don't have a photo.

It was good.  And a large serve.

Dinner was a real treat.

Moussaka Stack with Lemon-Yoghurt Dressing.

Absolutely delicious.

No walking.

I'd really been enjoying the walking, but wet weather continues

to make it just too sloppy to be worthwhile.

I've no doubt there'll be plenty of dry days ahead of us.

I'll catch up then.

Day 16, done and dusted!

Sixteen down, five to go.

Day 15 of 21

A little under the weather today, I had only a taste of scrambled egg for breakfast.

Lunch was to be a tuna, celery and dill sandwich.

Partly due to the fact that I need to fit in a town trip to replenish dietary supplies, and even more due to the fact that hams were smoked and cooked here yesterday, I substituted a Ham & Salad sanga for the prescribed tuna, celery & dill.

Dinner was Mustard Chicken with Potato Smash.

A fancy term for mashed potato with a little corn and spring onion thrown in.

A good day food wise, but drizzly rain prevented me walking again.

Day 15, done & dusted!

Fifteen days down, six to go.
