Weekend and weigh-in

The weekend was not so good for the weightloss. Girls night in the city with lots of alcohol followed by greasy food the next day to battle the hangover demon. Today I'm back to it though and had a weightloss of 0.8kgs. Not much but still a loss considering and I'm still on track to my first goal. Only 2.2kgs to go in 28 days. Considering it's highly unlikely I'll be drinking much if at all in that time frame I think I'll be ok.
Made a really yummy vegetarian friendly pasta last night. Has cheese and a creamy sauce but it doesn't contain creamy and has plenty if vegies so in moderation I think it would be ok.

Cook 2 cups pasta to 3/4 readiness.
In a saucepan cook 1tbs flour with 1tbs salt reduced margarine until marg melts. Slowly add low fat milk till you have a smooth lump free sauce. Add chopped mushrooms, fresh broccoli cut into florets, baby spinach, herbs (I used basil, parsley, thyme and chives), a tsp of minced garlic, 1/2 tsp veggie stock powder and pepper to taste.
Once pasta is cooked transfer to an overproof dish, pour over sauce and stir through. Sprinkle grated tasty cheese on top and bake in the oven till cheese has melted (approx 200 degrees).
Use wholemeal pasta and low fat cheese or add more veggies if you want to make it healthier.
