Week 3 consisted of lots of testing the Ninja Woodfire Grill that I mentioned in last weeks’ post, and ended with a big loss, and hitting over and above my first half stone!

The weather was warm, MR H had cut the grass and the garden is lovely to sit in, especially in the evening. So our al fresco culinary delights included steak with air-fryer corn on the cob, and chips; homemade smashed burgers, salmon noodles….

…and lots of, no, ALL the snacks… Popcorn, chicken nuggets, KitKat, doughnut, ice lollies, yogurts, animal biscuits, time outs…. And a late night German Doner Kebab on Eurovision night. All fully tracked, and totally worth it – no restriction on ‘types’ of food necessary, just accountability and consistent tracking.

Master H came home on Wednesday, and asked what was for tea. In response to “burgers” he told me they weren’t healthy and he needed healthy food. So after a lesson in what is healthy, and what the term moderation meant, he accepted that actually a home made (5% fat) smashed burger, in a wholemeal roll, with lighter cheese, salad and a small handful of chips is actually not a ‘bad’ meal. 

By the way, Master H is very slim, eats like a sparrow and never stops moving, even in his sleep!

Before I forget to share it, air fryer corn on the cob is amazing. I got the recipe from one of the team at work – super simple; olive oil, paprika, garlic granules brushed onto fresh corn cobs (or cobettes) and air fry for 20 minutes on 180 degrees (or 15 minutes for cobettes).

This week was a tough one, work was hard, the weather was warm, hormones were all over and in general I just felt hungry. I over ate on average across the week, but still managed a great loss, so I was thrilled.
