Happy Anniversary...

Today it is exactly one year since we started our Healthy Eating Plan!! Can't believe how quick the time has gone.
Recently we have stuck and do not seem to be losing any weight, but then again we aren't putting any on either, so that is a good thing. This is despite Birthdays, Anniversaries, Christmas and a Holiday in America. So I think we have done well.
VT is now 11stones 2 lbs
Jenny is 11Stones 9/10 lbs.
I reckon we have lost about 1 1/2 stones each. VT said he was 12st 9lbs and I was 13st6. So, quite a good loss from both of us.
I am going to try in the next week or two to reduce us down a bit more. Think what we are eating at the moment is maintaining us at a level and not losing any, so we need to just be a bit more careful.
Changes have mainly been with the reduction of fats. Spreads and oils. I don't use olive oil any more but use Fry Light, and our use of butter has gone down drastically. I haven't made cakes at all since we started, but buy the Mr Kipling ones which are calorie counted.I also weigh the carbs that we have, potatoes, rice and pasta. Potatoes at 8oz for two, rice at 4oz and pasta at 4oz. This seems to be working well. I don't put butter on veggies either, but use butter buds, and we read the calorie labels quite carefully too.
So...pats on the back all round..and a big success..

On the normal Sunday front, we did the crosswords quickly again. Are they getting easier? I think the last couple of weeks they are.
Made a lovely potato and oatmeal sourdough bread this morning, and a pizza dough which is rising nicely, and a batch of roast vegetables.
Last night VT got a DVD from Maghull called Closing the Ring. It turned out to be a good one, and a decent story and ending.
It is Gordon Brown's anniversary today as well, but that poor man hasn't been as successful as we have. He has had an awful lot of bad luck though, what with the foot and mouth, the floods, the 10p tax debaucle the loss of the data etc., etc., Blair left him in it altogether.

Tonight we are having:
Pizza with tomato sauce,
Roasted vegetables,
Goats cheese topping.
Salad with avocado, baby plum tomatoes, and cucumber. Topped with pine nuts.
Yum Yum
Happy Anniversary Everyone !!
