Weight loss challenge: NGNS week 3

Weight Loss Wednesday Report

I have abandoned this section for a while. I have forsaken my weekly account of this challenge so basically you can say I kind of lost the challenge?... not really...  some circumstances (surgical procedures), a lot of travelling, finishing projects  and a change in my eating habits are to blame for this, but I’m back.
During this hiatus I gained a kilo or two (during the pause period due to the surgical procedure) but as soon as I began to exercise and move about again I lost them but losing weight began to be difficult even though I was exercising an average of 2 hours a day. So by my doctor’s recommendation and some research I began a challenge of not only losing weight but also a challenge to changed my eating habits and that’s how I began my “No sugar, no grains” (#NSNG) month. If you want to know more about this, read my post “No sugar? No grains?”

-----------------------

How far along? 3 weeks
Weight up or down? I don’t know for sure... been in London for a week now and had no scale no check. I began this #NSNG with the same kilos I left before surgery.
Total weight loss: 3 Kg before I began #NSNG.
BMI: 26.5
Clothes: clothes are feeling better and more comfortable even though we've been kind of feasting with the new eating regime.    
Sleep: sleep pattern is better. Only change is that somehow I wake up earlier in the morning now, doesn’t matter how late I went to bet I’m up at 6 – 6:30am most days.
Skin: radiant and clear. No spots or break outs lately..

According to the professional opinion of my DH my skin is looking "radiant" :)


Exercise:
Cardio:  Only walks and more walks.
General circuit training: only 1 times this week
Walks: every day on average I’m walking about 8Km a day and on the weekend we walked about 12km each day.

  
Some of my breakfasts during this week #NSNG
  
Food
Food plan: No Sugars, No Grains... Yeap.
Food journal: logged my food journal every day in MyFitnesspal.com.
Food cravings:  none really.
Any sin? Wine and cider... several times this week.

Happy or moody most of the time?  Happy – happy. Getting better at this “London” thing. I’m still doing some decoration DIY in the apartment making it look cosy and pretty and I love doing that sort of things.

Best moment this week: Our first real and complete “Tourist Day” in London. We've been to Tower Bridge, The Big Ben, The London Eye and we cruised our way from Greenwich to Westminster on a boat... beautiful day.

I love this caption we got of The London Eye.


Worst moment this week: This morning... I’m going back to sunny Spain today so we had a great dinner with lots of wine last night so my stomach wasn't feeling very good this morning.

Great Dinner at Kew Grill

Miss anything?  My Bilbo!!!!!! and some nice Italian bread.


Looking forward to: complete my first month of #NSNG and to go back to P90X workouts.

Until next Wednesday!

Baci per tutti!
