I had been a little worried about weigh in this week, I am not sure why as I had been following the plan perhaps that is why I would be gutted to not have had a loss. As it happens I did really well and lost 1,3 kgs (almost 3 lbs) so very happy this evening.
We had a busy weekend of entertaining too, and all was done well within our points! On Saturday there were 6 of us for dinner, it was supposed to be only 5 but one of Uwe's friends called and said he was bringing another friend which I wouldn't usually mind at all. However when you are serving a meal which has been marinating for 3 days there isn't really much you can do but make the food stretch, so I didn't get to eat much of the meat but what I did eat was nice.
On Sunday Uwe's parents came to lunch and we had Beef Goulash. One thing that I still find a little odd about German food is that they serve plain pasta on the side instead of say potatoes or rice, not sure why I find it strange I suppose it is just something I would never have thought of doing back home.
Unfortunately I didn't manage to take pictures of either the Goulash or Sauerbraten, I promise to post pics of things I cook this week, in fact I am off to plan some shopping!
Oh wow... you're amazing!! I put on almost 10 kilos in my first year here... whoops... just couldn't get enough of those Schnitzel ;) It's very slowly coming off again (with a LOT of swimming - I have very little willpower when it comes to eating) but I'm really annoyed with B - I go away for a week and when I come back he's lost more weight in that time than I have in months!! Oh well, slowly slowly catchy... Schnitzel ;) Keep up the brilliant work :)
ReplyDeleteOh to be a man without fleshy fat hoarding lady bumps! I was engaged to a skinny skinny guy that used to eat nothing but junk food and I swear it was me that put on all his weight via osmosis, not surprising we didn't quite make it down the aisle =P
ReplyDeleteMmmmm Schnitzel.... **drools**
I also put on weight since moving to Germany! I think it has to do with living with a boyfriend as I end up eating much bigger potions of food-matching what he eats. Also my fella is always bringing home cakes and pastries from the bakery, and my willpower is not so strong!
ReplyDeleteI think what you're doing is awesome...and very brave in a country where the food is not known for helping shed the pounds! You're food sounds yummy too. Happy cooking and happy pound shedding :)
ReplyDelete@Dublin gal, the cakes all look so tempting and taste so good, I think you'd need a nuclear powered will to be able to resist when put under your nose!
ReplyDelete@Cara Thank you so much :) I had no idea how good the food was here before my first visit, schnitzel, käsespätzle and all kinds of kuchen... mmmmm...
