Weigh in Wednesday...

OK, so it's been just 2 days since I last weighed myself, and this morning I gingerly stepped onto the scales and.... drumroll please... I've lost 900g!!
Amazing what can happen when you put your mind to it. Actually there's a chance my body has completely gone into shock from all the sugar & fat that's suddenly disappeared over the past 2 days. And let me tell you I feel fantastic for getting back on the wagon again! It's such a great feling knowing you're doing something really healthy and beneficial for you body. I just want to fight the complacency that keeps slipping in just when I'm doing well. However, I must say that I was only in that complacency zone for about 4 weeks this time, which for me isn't long, and realistically didn't do too much damage.
And, in the spirit of my 12wbt blog from last round here's some food photos from days 1&2 - I can't believe there are still so many meals I didn't try last round. So here's lunch and dinner from yesterday in before and after shots (check out the size of my red cabbage!). Ham & Salad wrap was lunch, Sticky BBQ Beef with Shredded Slaw was dinner - both tasty, and I'll definitely use that beef marinade again, would be perfect for a summer BBQ - Yum!



And last but definitely not least, a meal I saw many people raving about on the blogs, but didn't try out for myself until last night - Not So Naughty Nachos!!! Oh. My. Gosh. Sooo Tasty - and I totally felt like I was eating treat food. It was much like the moment of eating 12wbt pizza last round, soo tasty, and yet still so good for you. This is a definite keeper.


 So there you have it - this little blogger is back in action and ready to work my butt off (literally!). And I'll be showing off those inspiration dresses in no time at all. And FYI - feeling the soreness after Monday's workout, I have a love/hate relationship with DOMS... Anyone else??

  1. Your meals look sensational !!!! I have become a creature of habit, mixing/matching meals and using just my favourites. This round I aim to mix it up a bit and try meals I haven't had before. Great work on the first weigh in.

    1. Thanks Carol! I really like making my food look good, and even more incentive when I'm posting pics. Yeah give some new meals a go, they're all pretty good and easy too.

  2. How good are the wraps? Yours look so much neater than mine though! What brand mountain bread do you use? My supermarket only had the rye ones. But they were very lo-cal so I got them anyway. And well done on your weigh in, I am scared that I won't get results next week!

    1. Hi CatOz, I LOVE wraps, but I never pre-make them, always just take everything with me to work and make it on the spot. I used the 'natural' mountain bread (from the Mountain Bread Brand - I think there's only one). In the past I've used wholewheat, corn, whatever was there really. I think they're all the same cals, and quite tasty. Don't fear weigh in - just stick to the program and you'll get there in the end!

  3. Those pictures look fantastic. I know where I'll be stopping for a feed next time I'm in Wagga Wagga :)

    And that's one huge muma of a cabbage! I bought 1/4 of one... Are you seriously going to eat all that this week or will you be making some red cabbage german style for the freezer?

    1. Hey Penny, I got a bit carried away with the cabbage... but I was shopping at a fruit & veg store (rather than Coles) and that whole thing was only $3 and it would've cost me almost that for a small half at Coles... Not really sure what's going to happen to the rest of it. Might be eating my way through every 12wbt cabbage recipe next week!

  4. Congrats on 900g!! I'm loving your food photos, as per usual :) I still haven't tried the Nachos! Am I crazy? I think I have to now though, yours look so good!

    I'm glad that you're back with a vengeance! :D
