Well the weekend went well and I had a loss of .400gms which I am happy with as I have not been excercsing like I should!
Sunday came a little unstuck at lunch with my Grandmother as I ordered what I thought was going to be a small meal and it wasn't! - and guess what! - I ate it all!!!!
Argh - it sent me on a spiral downward and I consumed way to much food altho the bulk of it was watermelon and mangos so sorta good??? - no not really!
Anyway Day 11's tips are very timely and I wish I had read them on Sunday morning instead of today!!!
Great tips from Annette below:
Eating healthily doesn't mean you have to miss out on restaurant experiences. Just keep focused on the healthier options and don't use eating out as an excuse to blow out your healthy plan. Keep in mind that many restaurants serve more food than one person needs at one meal. Take control of the amount of food that ends up on your plate by sharing a main or dessert with your dining partner. Or, request that your meal is served in entree size and order a side salad or extra vegetables. Here are some more tips:
• If you are unsure, ask for nutrition information (for example, calories, saturated fat, and sodium)
• Remember that food that is baked, grilled, roasted, stir-fried, poached or steamed will be a healthier choice than meals that are deep fried or saturated in creamy sauces.
• Request your meal to be served without gravy, sauces, butter or margarine.
• Ask for salad dressing on the side, and use only small amounts of full-fat dressings.
If you have any left overs that are suitable to take home, refrigerate and then enjoy another meal or a snack tomorrow.
She also mentions about Fast food eating and to be weary of sizing - somethimes taking the meal home and eating it on your own plate helps work out the portion size of it, check sodium levels as these can cause havoc on the weight loss journey
DAY 12
Its all about reading labels today! – Be ware of what the product is claiming to be whether to it Lite or Fat Free – there can be hiding extras for the what they have “taken out”
Remember to keep an eye on the sugar and sodium levels in products as well !
