Wendy’s Shake It Weight Management Challenge
Week 4.
Commencing Wednesday 28th July 2010
Current weight: 64 (total lost 2 kg)
Waist: 76 cm
Love handles (hips): 99 cm (total lost 3 cm)
My aim this week was to increase fat burning using a product called ‘Thermo Burn’. The literature tells me it will promote abdominal fat loss and reduce weight by increasing energy expenditure – so I say burn baby burn. I take 1 tablet in the morning and evening
As it is winter, we don’t feel thirsty so it’s easy to forget to drink water and we become dehydrated without realising it. Skin and hair get dryer and there is a lethargy I always notice if I haven’t consumed 1 ½ lts daily. Note to self.
Cold mornings, fancy a hot chocolate for breakfast that tastes every bit as good as a Max Brenner but more filling?
Recipe tip of the week:
1 heaped scoop Chocolate Shake It
1 heaped teaspoon of unsweetened dark cooking chocolate
1 teaspoon Stevia (natural sweetener) or to taste
Place all ingredients into a Barmix (stick blender) beaker
Add 100 mls hot water & blitz to get rid of the lumps
Top up with 50 – 100 mls of hot water & blitz again until frothy
You can do this with the vanilla Shake It as well; add caramel or extra vanilla essence, very yum.
Also been making some of the recipes in the Shake It Recipe Book. Many of them don’t have complicated instructions and minimal ingredients so making them is easy, just throw together or substitute an ingredient without any fuss and a fairly fast meal can be prepared.
I am happy about the weight loss this week; see below, as I’m basically sticking with the formula:
Ketogenic diet with loads of selected vegetables
Meal replacements
Exercise, a mix of aerobic (cycling) and resistance (yoga)
Plus ‘Thermo Burn’ – must be doing something as I had another ‘social weekend’.
I had my 20 year old niece and her friend visiting from Adelaide. No I wasn’t clubbing with them, they didn’t need me to help them tear up the town, they managed well by themselves. But there was again, dinners and lunches where I consumed wine. We went to see the musical ‘Wicked’, I did stop at drinking the Wicked Cocktails in souvenir glass – fluorescent green slushy things that came out of a dispenser into a plastic cocktail glass that had flashing lights in their stems!!! The girls threw those down their necks, I was afraid they were going for a matching set of 6 cocktail glasses.
