Week Three

This week I've tried to expand on menu by adding in different ingredients as advised by Dietitian. I've found this difficult as it's hard to convince myself it will be okay if I try something new.

Here in NZ, we've got two long weekends consecutively and I'm worried about falling off the band wagon. My achilles heel tends to be the weekends where my days aren't heavily structured with routine and time-frames like my week days.



Food: This week I've added the following = Lettuce cups w/ rice and chic; Arborio Risotto w/ Vege; Ratatouille w/ chic

Exercise: Increased walking to 3.7km at 6x day/wk

Hello Hanna! Sounds like your approach is truly serious and I am happy to see that your eating steps are regulated by a dietitian. I am sure you have a great progress. As for long weekends… When I had those while trying to lose weight, I was… COOKING! Yes, I wanted to eat tones of junk food, to have a bite here and there… instead, I made it a habit to find some good healthy deliciously looking recipes, turn on inspiring music and start cooking. Then I was serving the dishes, as if in a fancy restaurant. Thus, I managed to postpone the meals time, which helped me control my hunger in the future. There even exists such an advice... when you feel like you’re super hungry and are going to eat something, take a 10-minute pause, and only then eat. Self-control… another tip is to spend 2 minutes to savor your dish with your eyes, before you start eating it.

Water, as you already know, also works great. However, nothing can beat the desire to eat something if you’re bored. So, you should develop a good entertainment program for these weekends and you’ll be just fine =)) Good luck!!!! You’re going to win…
