DAY 5 -

104.1!!!!YAHOO can you believe it! That's a total loss of 2.1kilos in 5 days!!!

I'm on a roll now.


On Wed night I decided that the frozen schnitzel and pies we were eating for dinner were just wasting all my hard work through the day, so I scoured the TF cookbook I bought and chose about 5 meals to cook over the next 5 days. Very simple when you dissect them. The main thing I noticed with these meals is the extensive use of herbs and spices. This obviously changes the taste of your average piece of meat. The other reminder is portion sizes every meal has the amount of grams per protein serve you should consume whether male or female.


So it was off to the supermarket yesterday which was made so much easier because my baby boy can now confidently sit up in the shopping trolley seat! I bought a special seat cover cushiony thing to make him safe and comfortable. He loved it! He's such a laid back little guy, I'm sure some babies would freak being put in a shopping trolley for the first time. He thought he was the ants pants.


I had most of the dried herbs & spices, I just had to get some cayenne pepper, but forgot to take my list with my and decided to buy my third jar of paprika instead!! Doh! Don't trust your memory once you have a baby....


One of the most interesting parts of the TF meals is that instead of potatoes they use cauliflower!! called notatoes. You cook it and mash it just like potato, with light cream cheese and a little garlic & salt and put it on top of shepherds pie and such.


Last night I wanted to try a recipe of Vicki's website. Crustless Quiche. It was awesome!!! Very easy to make, and James absolutely loved it. Here's the link to the receipe.

The only things I did differently were 4 whole eggs instead of whites and added capsicum. It was great. The two things not really allowed on the TF program is the flour and breadcrumbs, but I figured 1/4 cup flour wont hurt too much in the long run and next time instead of breadcrumbs I can use their Simply Fibre as they suggest in one of their recipes for schnitzel instead of crumbs.

Back to the supermarket today for fresh herbs and more vege's. Tonight I cooked lean cut rump steaks, with red onion, tomato, parsley and basil salsa sort of thing, and notatoes (instead of mashed potato) and asparagus.

Shake for breakfast
Soup for lunch, and a little bit of left overs from last nights dinner

Can't wait to get on the scales tomorrow!
