The coming week - let's be adventurous!

[stivesliz]

It's Monday morning and the sun is shining - well it is in Cornwall anyway, so lets hope the rest of you have the same.

Its WI for me tomorrow and I am hoping for a good loss, but for the coming week, I am NOT going to set myself a weight loss target - I am going to aim to have 2 extra portions of fruit or veg each day.

My consultant has a 'challenge bag' and if we are struggling we pick one out, and its often things like ;give up alcohol for the week' or 'eat a different breakfast every day' or 'have a different HEB every day' and I think it's great as a dieter's downfall isn't always hunger ( it shouldn't be on SW anyway ) but boredom and as much as I love cooking and know the plan inside out I do tend to eat the same things each week so I think it just gives us all something to think about...............and maybe get our manuals out and read them again!

Anyone care to join me?

Well the obvious one would be to give up booze lol but that's a bit harsh - how about swapping wine for spirits? x

I think I'm gong to challenge myself to "tighten" up. I've just had *week and noticed that there was a bit if sloppy measuring and portions and sneaky nibbles off the kids plates. I just need to tighten up my regime a little as all the little things seem to adding up and WI looks baaaaad!!!!

I definitely need a new breakfast idea... omeletes are starting to turn my stomach lol as is bacon eggs and mushrooms lol. Cereal seems such a waste of HE's though... hmm it'sa tough one as fruit doesn't really keep megoing either!!

I need new ideas for everything! I'm not v adventurous at all and keep making the same meals again and again. P.s. There is a breakfast ideas thread somewhere.

Have you ever tried magic porridge? It's really yummy, and I find it really fills me up too.

Just mix up 35g Porridge Oats (HExB) with a MullerLight yogurt and leave it in the fridge overnight. The oats soak up the porridge and it becomes a really thick, creamy porridge. I eat it cold and tend to bulk it out with a chopped banana, strawberries and blueberries :drool:

My consultant has a challenge board. She has 12 different challenges on it and encourages people to have a go at one of them. I have the whole list somewhere.

My challenge is to drink more water. I'm trying to drink 2 litres a day and more if I go to the gym.
