IT's time to look at WHY I'm overweight - yes, i eat too much but why do i want to. Why do i feel the need to stuff my mouth with chocolate and crisps and potatoes and butter and all the things which i know for a fact i don't need or even like particularly.
Over the next thirty days i'm going to get to the bottom of it, AND because Annette made me really pause for thought there, i'm going to find out what i can do to protect myself from constant illness.
Right - i'm off to Boots (our BIG pharmacy) to get milk thistle for my liver, magnesium and zinc as recommended by Dax.
Exerciuse so far - personal circuit and 40 mins at the gym doing weights and interval training. IT was so hard today after all the Dax workouts.
Today so far, I had 1 boiled egg with oatcakes, blueberries
Lunch was delicious turkey fillet rolled in sesame and pumpkin seeds then baked in the over LOVELY with various lovely crunchy peppers.
Had loads water and the caffeine headache seems to be gone.

What are oatcakes, Wendy? I see them mentioned alot from those in UK. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, they're very simple crackers or bisvuits made with oatmeal.
ReplyDeleteMy recipe is simple, 6oz oatmeal, 1oz butter melted. Stir the butter into the oatmeal then very slowly add boiling water until you get a paste that you can roll into a ball.
Sprinkle oatmeal on your board or surface then roll out the oatmeal ball until it's quite thin, about 5mm, the cut it into squares or circles or anything you like. Then bake at 180c for about 20 - 25 minutes or until dried out and crisp but not brown. They are gorgeously filling -you won't feel hungry for hours, very good for your heart and absolutely allowed on the elimination diet. Oh, and very scottish!! :)
Thanks for the oatcake recipe, I will try that! Sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteI made you pause??? Well, I am just following your facebook updates, and it just seemed that you were always sick... Maybe it is the wrong food, or not enough sleep, or not the right supplements, I am glad you are checking into the causes!
I have similar issues with emotional eating, and even though I think I know a few of my triggers, I still know there is more work ahead for me in terms of finding out why. Looking forward to how you are doing, girl! :-)
Thanks for the recipe. DO you first turn the oatmeal into flour? Or do your use rolled oats (old fashioned it is called here)?
