Don't eat till your full

So I'm over my tummy bug yah!! The only good thing that came out of that is I lost 2kg in a couple of days but now I'm too scared to weigh myself again so I have decided to challenge myself to waiting a whole week or even two if I can handle it. I remember when I started this wol I said to my dh and myself I'm only weighing once a week because I don't want to get obsessed and now I'm weighing daily so I have to really remind myself about the health benefits as opposed to what the scale says, it's just very hard.




I think my stomach shrunk in the couple of days of the tummy bug and I did the greedy thing on friday night and had my favourite meal - a lettuce wrap filled with chicken, bacon, avocado, camembert, relish and aioli. It was beautiful but I ate wayyyy too much to the point I felt physically uncomfortable and wanted to throw up just to feel better. I didn't because I can't make myself do that yuck! So instead I had reflux and horrible pain until 4am that morning, arrrrrhhh!!!! What do I learn from this....don't eat until I'm full. Everytime I eat now I don't feel full initially but then I do a couple of hours later, I think this is because protein and fat aren't immediate energy.

"Lasagne"

I am feeling pretty happy today, I couldn’t help but weigh myself and I can’t believe I saw the scale go down. I’m finally out of the 90’s and into the 80’s, well 89.5kg to be exact. It’s still amazing that I was 107.1kg on my first day and to see it come down each week I couldn’t be happier. My husband said ok now don’t weigh for a week, he know’s me too well. I’m finally fitting into my older clothes, I wish I could buy more but I don’t want to spend money on something that will be too big in the next few months. So I’m going to make myself a few things, I’m in the process of setting up my own dressmaking business so it’s all good practice anyway.

I made the yummiest tasting “lasagne” last night for dinner, mike loves my lasagne but since there’s no pasta I used Pumpkin and zucchini instead, it was soo good I had leftovers for lunch today. Here’s the recipe if anyone is interested:

500gms Lamb Mince
1 Tin Tomatoes
2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
1/4 -1/2 cup Cream
1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
Could add garlic and onion but I didn’t want reflux so I avoided it.

Let cook and simmer for 10 minutes or so the cream will thicken a little.

¼ Buttercup Pumpkin (precook it)
1 Large Zucchini
¾ cup Swiss Cheese
¾ cup Mozzarella Cheese
½ cup Parmesan Cheese

I layered the mince with the pumpkin very finely sliced, and the cheese. The top layer I used the zucchini and cheese on top. Bake in oven 200C for about 30-40 minutes. YUM!!
It’s not strictly primal/paleo but then I'm not that strict when it comes to cheese.
