But thank the Lord not a ham and cheese toastie in site 😂😂

Valentines meal will follow banana bread for breakfast, pork pie and salad for lunch. Valentine meal is a starter of Stilton and garlic mushrooms, filet steak, minted new potatoes and mixed veg, and for pud, Victoria sandwich GU dessert 😋

Yesterday I enjoyed banana bread, ham and cheese sandwich and homemade chicken kebab 😋 Still only one gym appearance this week 😔 but I’m still tired and hurting from Spain.

Assess your portion control Do you feel stuffed 20 mins after eating? Are you used to that full feeling and that’s the normal? Be honest….i used to eat til i felt I needed to lay down! It’s something i had to learn not to do - and this is actually really helpful particularly when we eat out. We feel we got to get out moneys worth!….

You know when you’ve got a sweet tooth and people say “just cut out biscuits and chocolate” like it’s that easy? 🙄 Because if you’re anything like me, sweet treats haven’t just been a phase… they’ve been part of my life for a long, long time. The problem with sugary foods isn’t just the calories – it’s the energy slump that comes after. One biscuit turns into three, then suddenly the whole packet’s gone. Once you pop, you really can’t stop. So instead of trying to rely on willpower (which never worked for me), I did something different. I started making a few high-protein cakes that still feel like a proper treat. No sugar. No fat. And they keep me full for hours. I’ve been eating these almost every day for the last month and honestly… game changer. I don’t even think about the biscuit tin anymore. This is my go-to. My kids love them too, and especially in winter it feels like I’m having something really stodgy and comforting – except it actually works with my goals instead of against them. And here’s the mad part… this is the only thing I’ve changed in the last month. Same meals, same routine. So I can hand on heart say the drop in weight has come from one simple change – swapping mindless sugary snacks for something that actually fuels me. Proof that fat loss doesn’t come from restriction… it comes from smarter swaps 💛 Grab recipe here https://stan.store/cooharvey80_708/p/get-coach-carlys-apple-cinnamon--sultana-cake
