Wegle's Vegetarian EE Diary

[Wegle]

So I thought it was a good idea to start keeping an online food diary. I keep a paper one but thought sharing one here would be good as I can get tips from others and hopefully pass on some of my own veggie favourites. I've been doing SW for a week and 2 days so far so I will post my diaries from the last two days then we'll go from there.

Breakfast - Nothing (I know but I've just never been a breakfast eater and I'm not going to start eating for the sake of it if I'm not hungry)

4. Give it all a big stir and portion into tubs ready to take to work.

2. Add as much of the leftover chilli as you like.
3. Top with reduced fat cheddar.
4. Wrap it all up and enjoy!

So far a good week. I'm hoping my sprilizer has arrived today and then I can make some courgette pasta tonight and make a nice mushroom, fake bacon and cheese sauce to go on top.

Hi, I'm liking the bean salad & burritos. I don't eat red meat or poultry, but eat fish. Always looking for good veggie meals.

How was your first week loss?

 

[Wegle]

Hey Hubz!

First week was really good. I lost 7lbs so was really chuffed. I'm hoping for at least 2lbs this week fingers crossed!

Hi Sim Sim. I used to always do Green when I was with SW before but when I rejoined my consultant said the Green plan had gone so I'm doing EE this time around. It's taken some getting used to as I miss the extra cheese you used to be allowed but my first week's loss was 7lbs, which is double my highest ever loss on Green so I'm sticking with it!

Haha! Silly Husband! At least he tried. That recipe sounds delicious. I will definitely give it a go. I love butternut squash so I'm always excited to try it in new things.
