Weight Loss Wednesday Week 5 and 6
How far along? 6 weeks
Weight up or down? down... amazingly down..
Total weight loss: so far... 6.9Kg
BMI: 25.4
Clothes: Tops and pants back to a EU38!!!
Sleep: Because I've been on medication my sleep patterns are being a bit erratic... either I sleep a profoundly all night or wake up every 4 hours... nevertheless sleep quality is good.
Skin: My skin is looking great... can't really complain. Surgery scar is healing well.

Exercise:
- Cardio: none. I know I need to be doing more but I was feeling tired due to medication.
- General circuit training: two "Arms and back" 55 minutes sessions of P90X
- Walks: gone for a walk on an average of 3 times a week about 5 km each time. On a Monday we spend the whole day roaming the paths of Kew Gardens with my mother in law (8 hours almost non-stop but in a leisure pace).

Food plan:
Food journal: Was very bad. I didn't log anything for the past week or so. I n¡know... I will get back to it as soon as possible... like today?
 |
| Saturday treat: Gluten free pizza (almond flour base and three cheese topping). Delicious. |
 |
| Sunday lunch: big salad with eggs and tuna steack |
 |
| Sunday dessert treat: banana and berries home made frozen yougurt No sugar added! |
Food cravings: While in the UK and when my mother in law was around I really crave some cake and finally on the day we went to Kew Gardens I gave up and have a half portion of lemon and poppy seed cake... it was good but not as I expected it to be really... the other craving I've been having is "chipa paraguaya"... so last Sunday and after some search I found tapioca starch and bake this heavenly cheesey little buns and loved every single bit of them... check out the recipe here.

Happy or moody most of the time? I had ups and downs but it was mostly ups. Went to the most entertaining wedding I've ever been to like ever (Thanks Cath and Steven!), met a lot of new friends and family members, spent some quality time with my DH in London and had been spoiled rotten by my little brother since I came back to Spain.

Best moments of these weeks: Cath and Steven's wedding, meeting the "stable boy" at the B&B we were staying who coined the acclaimed phrase of the weekend: "Was it worth it?" after asking me how long I've been with my DH... =) and coming back to Spain and being welcomed by Bilbo and my little brother.
Miss anything? I missed having some cake (not anymore) and drinking "cocido" (a typical paraguayan tea) with my "chipa paraguaya.
Looking forward to: having my mum over for the holidays... I can do some mami-time right now.
Baci per tutti!
Hasta next week!
