Another loss, another busy week. Not as many steps as last week, but my resting heart rate dropped by 6 points, which is amazing! 

This week started with Hoof’s Christening, see previous post if you’re not sure who Hoof is. So naturally Auntie Lamb (again see last week’s post) took over at least one element of organising – and of course that was the food. 

Saturday was filled with prep at Mothers, and when you’re making sandwiches, savoury trays, pizza, nuggets and basically a see of beige foods, the obligatory fruit and vegetable platters added a wonderful element of colour – so did the sweet cart fillings, but they’re not quite as nutritional. 

We had a really wonderful day, Hoof was equally excited and overwhelmed, and the star of the show as always, and as Monday was a bank holiday (an excellent stroke of genius planning on my sister’s part) it meant I could take Monday to prep for the week ahead. 

MR H’s new job seemed to have gotten off to a good start, and my full set of glass jars had arrived, so the overnight oat prep was strong this week. We took the opportunity to spend some time with Master H, and went to the cinema to see the new Marvel movie. I took breakfast with me – and stole Master H’s milky way (because I paid for the popcorn this was his ‘tax’). 

These pancakes are from Lidl and are the protein ones, less than £2 for 4, they’re huge and very filling.

Mid week we had pork sausages, sweet potato mash and caramelised onion gravy thanks to Hello Fresh and a 60% discount code (these are super easy to get hold of and makes a week’s worth of meals, delivered, for £35 a pretty good deal!)

We had some glorious weather this weekend, and it was a wonderful excuse to test out our Ninja Woodfire Grill. We had a little ‘BBQ’ which Master H was quick to point out was actually a ‘fake’ BBQ as “you’re not really doing the cooking though are you mummy?”. 

Didn’t stop him from stepping in and declaring that he was the ‘chef’ though…. 

Positive week overall, feeling good, would have liked another 2lb loss if I’m honest but an average of over 2.5lbs a week will do for now. Onwards and downwards.
