6 Week Challenge - Week 2 Update

Well as you can see I am starting my third week well prepared. I stuck to last weeks plan to the letter and I am happy to report I was down
a further half pound this evening. I am already half a pound above my 1lb a week goal. I did end up having a little bit of cous cous at book club and at my parents house and while I can't for sure say its down the cous cous, I have felt much more bloated since eating it. However I have still stayed away from the bread and pasta and most things processed.  My energy levels are still up and my skin is continuing to become clearer and all around I am feeling good. 

Switching to Quinoa for lunch this week has been great too, it is definitely more filling than the bulgar wheat and it is much tastier too. I am going to be looking up new recipe ideas to start adding a little more variety to my lunches. I have limited prep time in the evening so it is easy having the same thing every day, but I would like to be able to change it up a little bit. 

I got a bit of a surprise this week when I was told that I was going to be in the monthly weight watchers email newsletter! Got a lovely response from it and for anyone who hasn't read my full story you can find it here. So its been an exciting week. I wish I had some time to get back into running. Its been a while and I do miss it, but with the change in jobs and the long hours it has been hard to fit it in. I plan on signing up for a new 10k for the end of october which will hopefully give me the push I need to get back out on the roads!!

I hope everyone is having a good week out there!!
