Week 1's Results

I'm down 2.7kg and I am thrilled! The scales have only been going upwards in the last 10 months or so and it's nice to have such a dramatic drop to spur me on. I went shopping yesterday and remembered why I haven't done it much lately - is there anything so depressing as trying on clothes when you've gained weight?! ETL does work and I need to stick to the plan to get the results. I had a bit more stodge today than I should have but oh well....

B - pita bread pizza made with veges and avocado
L - none
D - vegetable risotto (tomato, mushrooms, corn and fresh herbs)

I had my first ever go at making risotto from scratch thanks to some encouragement from ShinyRuby who assured me that it was easy really. What I found was that it was definitely easier than I thought - I could take the occasional break from stirring, it had a lovely creamy texture (way more so than the packet mixes I've used in the past!!) and the stock and herbs made it full of flavour. Maybe it's time I started to put a bit more effort into cooking...
