Suburban Mum on a Mission

My diet blog.

I am using a combination of three days-a-week fasting and something called HIT exercising (20 seconds of intense exercise 9 times a week) to try and lose weight and get fit for my up coming wedding.

I will also be trying multiple, wacky antidotes and creams to make myself more beautiful in order to be a smoking hot bride.

BEANS ON TOAST

Half a tin of beans is 164
one slice of Warburtons seeded batch is 137
A smidge of olive spread is about 30 cals (a seriously thin spreading here)

Pretty filling meal = 331

No Boossh

So getting a little stir crazy eating those packets of food, so I am gonna calorie count and eat real food today. Although I am cheating and using this list!

http://www.bodychef.com/Articles/100-snacks-under-100-calories

So far I have had an apple and a cup of tea, it's 2pm and I am ok. But (and that's a big BUTT) we did a Lidl shop - first time there - and bought loads of crazy non-brand food and knowing it's there is making me want to snack and try it all. Fake twix, fake bounty's, fake mentos...this is gonna be a fun weekend!

PS. The list says a whole jar of gherkins is only 30 calories, so if you get starving - head to the pickles!

1/2 a tin




For lunch I am gonna have half a tin of this soup, it's pretty chunky and tastes quite nice. 105 calories for half a tin is good!

Mint Choc Shake

So not feeling Boossh today, I read a Facebook comment in which someone said the after-taste reminded her of blood and I really agree. I know these meals are so much tastier than other replacement meals, BUT  they just aren't as tasty as food.

So I tried freezing the mint choc shake to make an ice-cream, but it just made me taste it too much, the shakes should be drunk - and fast! This would have probably been a lovely milkshake, but the salty metallic after-taste was ruining it for me.

 It didn't look like this - it looked like pinkish brown sludge.

No dinner

It's probably really bad, but I couldn't be bothered to eat/make dinner. I am hungry I just feel rough too, so couldn't face another Boossh. I didn't do pilates either - I had a nap...! This has to be the worst diet blog ever.. Oh yeah and I weighed myself and I have put on 3lbs. Waah!

Tonights mantra; tomorrow is a new day (kids go back to school, so here's hoping I can get a workout in...preferably one in which I lose half a stone).

Wild berry Review




This was really nice, tasted a bit like those fruitella sweets or a nice blackcurrant ice-cream. I think I prefer this to the banana milkshake. I whisked it in a bowl which seemed to increase the volume a bit and made it creamier. I will definitely do this in future.


7pm and it's meal 2




I am trying a wild berry buzz milkshake made with skimmed milk for tea, this was 230 calories. So after this I will have eaten 365 calories.
