Week 4 – into a double digit loss, consitently tracked every day for over a month and made lots more meaty treats on the Ninja Wooodfire Grill !!

Asian inspired Salmon, Broccoli and Sweet potato mash made an appearance on Thursday – the mash was super easy to make, just boiled some diced (skin on) sweet potatoes, then when fork tender added a splash of soy sauce, a tsp Chinese 5 spice, some fresh chilli, half a tsp of ginger paste and a tsp toasted sesame oil.

I tossed the brocolli in soy sauce, sesame oil and
Chinese 5 Spice before roasting in the air fryer.

Breakfasts mid week were made up of overnight oats, with or without Lidl’s amazing protein pancakes, with the exception egg, bacon and hash brown barm cakes on Sunday.

On Tuesday I attempted a recipe from one of my favourite cooking books, the Pinch of Nom Air Fryer Recipe book, which you can buy here. Unfortunately I did not manage to get a picture of the Madras Meatballs, but i can say they were absolutely delicious, made plenty for lunch the day after, and were surprising easy to make, even in the post work / post school chaos.

My favourite meal of the week was our ‘mixed grill’ comprising of sausage, chicken, beef steak medallions, asparagus and mushrooms and chips with pepper sauce. The whole lot came to 865 calories, a whopping 87g protein and 8.8g fibre.

The slow losses continued this week and the weather remained dry, warm and pleasant enough to keep my steps up.
