Went out for a long walk earlier and going to sort out my wardrobe and get rid of big clothes to make me feel more confident.

Looks good how do you make the pancakes?

Put pes and an egg in a blender with seasoning. Wiz for a minute until smooth. Then oil a non-stick frying pan and cook them.
I get tired of normal food so try to be a bit adventurous and create new recipes. You can make this with broccoli or spinach too.

Noticed that I kept going for convenient options, so decided to make an effort to eat healthier, cook proper meals (at least once a day) and walk more. Another excuse, I keep giving myself for eating quick thing is that my stomach has shrunk so there is no point in cooking a meal - well I am putting a stop to this excuse. Don't want to put on weight by sitting around all day. even on days that I am unable to go for a walk, I will be walking around the house rather than sitting on my backside. haha
