My weight loss has been slow since I joined our local Weight Watchers group back on November 1, 2011 but last night I finally lost a further 600gms which gave me a total loss of 5.1 kgs - I am super happy. I could not believe that I had still lost weight in the past week, given the Australia Day 4 day weekend that we enjoyed with our visitors from Melbourne.

I think my juicing has helped my weight loss - the juice is filling so I do not snack between breakfast at 8am and lunch at 12 noon, just a cup of coffee at work usually. The juice also makes you 'regular' if you know what I mean (definitely daily for me!) and I think it flushes unwanted things from your body. It is a bit costly but I guess I am not buying snack foods and I buy the cheapest apples (Sundowners were $1.97/kg compared to Pink Lady's $3.94/kg). I am investing in my good health.

I have started taking Fish Oil to see if it eases my back and shoulder joint pain. It could take months before I may notice a change. The oil tastes fine and I just have a little bit of orange juice to wash it down. Lets see if I can see an improvement.

It's a beautiful sunny, clear blue sky day here today. My garden is looking colourful but very neglected. Because I have been having physiotherapy (with acupuncture) on my back and shoulder I am not game to get out in the garden in case I strain something. The weeds aren't taller than the plants yet so that's okay!

We have a book club that leaves books at work and I was couldn't resist buying Julie Goodwin's latest book - The Heart of the Home. I got it for $20 but it retails for $49.99.
It has some lovely recipes along with her stories of her childhood and growing up and enjoying home cooked food. There are many recipes I will try but will have to modify the fat content in them. Recipes using a knob of butter (100gms) are just not good for you!

Last night at our WW meeting, we had a small tasting of some low fat dishes that some of the committee members had made. I will cook the Lamb Chasseur tonight - it only has 6 ingredients - lamb, onion, mushrooms, bacon, canned tomatoes and beef stock - it was delicious.

Enjoy your day - I hope the world is throwing some nice weather your way - it's a cracker of a day here!
