I made a reasonable start to my Slimming World campaign – I lost 4 pounds this week. I was pleased with that, especially after the pizza and wine last Thursday and the almond cake I ate last night and white chocolate I had today!! I had been really good the rest of the time though.
I went tropical for breakfast.
I brought in from home a pot of chopped mango, papaya and passionfruit topped with coconut yogurt.
It was delicious.
I also took a salad in from home.
Quinoa, chickpeas, celery, red and yellow tomatoes, cucumber, sugar snap peas, watermelon and a variety of leaves. I am getting used to salad without a dressing to save calories but it was a bit boring.
So I bought some flavourful chicken to add.
This was very good actually, well flavoured.
As a little treat to myself for losing weigh, I loved every mouthful of a raspberry and banana ice-cream.
Made with 1/4 of an avocado, 2 frozen bananas, frozen raspberries, 2 passion fruits, 1 heaped tbsp cashew nut butter and some almond milk to loosen it. It was divine.
What a treat.

About Lose Weight and Gain Health
Hi! My name is Zoe and I live in Hastings, East Sussex, with my son Harvey and dog, Milton. I have been fighting the fat for years but this time I am serious. I want to lose weight and gain health.
This blog is about how I am changing my lifestyle so I can lose weight but not by just "being on a diet" but by making small changes to our lives so that as I lose weight, I gain health. I want my family to be healthy too and never have to struggle with their weight like I have. In common with many large people, I have gained and lost weight many times over the years. This time, I want to lose it and maintain a healthy low weight.
I am interested in eating food that is nutrient dense and delicious and that appeals to children and adults. I do not eat animal products so follow a vegan diet. I try to use locally produced food supplemented with what I can grow myself. I support and try to use local farmers markets and farm shops. Another objective is to add more exercise to our days. It sounds so simple when I write it down :-)
I made a smoothie this morning with a tablespoon of peanut butter in it. First time I have had PB in a smoothie and it was to.die.for… lol
