Weight loss Wednesday: NSNG Week 5

Weight Loss Wednesday Report

A full month of my “No sugar, no grains” (#NSNG) has passed and I've been logging my  food diary  everyday. The Paleo recipes has been a great add to my food plan and I'm discovering new ways to prepare tasty and nutritious food every day.

If you want to find out a bit more about the #NSNG way of eating, I can recommend some books, podcasts and Facebook groups to help you get into this world. If you want to read the books, try these: ”Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease” by Robert H. Lustig, “Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It” and Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health by Gary Taubes. I can bet they will change the way you look at food after reading them.

Give them a go. They won't disappoint you.
If you are interested in the podcasts, try "Vinnie Tortorich: America's Angriest Trainer", "Fat burning man" and "Living La Vida Low Carb" or you can try the Facebook group "Vinnie Tortorich's No Sugar No Grains"

This is my week report:

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

How far along? 4 weeks finished, bmidways on the 5th
Weight up or down? I have lost 5.6Kg and I went down a pant size.
Total weight loss: 5.6Kg
Clothes: down one size. I was able to buy the Pearl Jam concert t-shirt in "S" last Friday! Hurray!    
Sleep: Sleep patterns has been a bit erratic this last week due to all the travelling and night outs but all in all at least 6-7  solid hours each night.
Skin: radiant and clear. No spots or break outs... Scar from surgery is healing well.

Exercise:
Cardio:  mainly walks. While in Spain we walk up the mountain each morning (8:30am) and in London we walk basically everywhere.
Walks: Every day this week with an average of 8 to 10 km per day.
General circuit training: None this week. Best workout this week was jumping up and down during over 3 hours at Pearl Jam's concert in Milton Keynes... will do it everyday if I could!


Walking up the mountain in Alhaurin El Grande

Walking everywhere while in London

3 hours of jumping up and down at Pearl Jam's concert.
The best workout ever!

Food
Food plan: No Sugars, No Grains. No milk. Only dairy I had this week is cheese. Not giving up on cheese.
Food journal: logged my food journal every day in MyFitnesspal.com.
Food cravings:  fruits. I saw those beautiful watermelons at the supermarket and couldn't resist.
Any sin? Wine, as usual and a pint of cider at the concert.

Breakfast: spinach and camembert cheese omelette and some bacon

Lunch: aubergines gratin and tuna and apple salad



Pork sirloin with apples, saute mushrooms with garlic, salad and wine.
A hobbit dinner...


Happy or moody most of the time?  Most of the days happy but a bit stressed out this week. Spanish summer was hitting hard and a lot of planning to attend a wedding next week has been keeping me a bit on the edge.
Best moment this week: In Spain... Bilbo's new swimming pool... In London, Pearl Jam's concert at Milton Keynes.




Pearl Jam last concert in the european tour at Milton Keynes
 


Worst moment this week: hormone treatment has begun....

Miss anything?  I miss my mum this week...
Looking forward to: a cousin's wedding next week!

Baci per tutti!
