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.

Ooopsy



I have been super negligent on the HIT exercise front, I tried on Friday and couldn't finish 20 seconds on my second run. I should try again today but I am knackered off hen - we did a burlesque class and went out dancing all evening so I feel I have done something. Going to do a pilates DVD when the kids have finished their Mr.Bean film instead. I just fancy something gentle and stretchy to get me feeling human again.

Breakfast sans Champignons

Picked the mushrooms out of this Thai curry.



This really hit the spot, it was like eating fried rice - so carbs! Just what I wanted, would buy loads of these next time. Hub-to-be took one to work with him too, so I will post what he thought of it - his first try of the sachets.This was really filling compare to some of the other meals - it is tied favourite between this and the korma so far.

I know, I know! We don't need vitamins with these meals, but I am sure my very hungover body could use a boost!

135 calories. Mint! 

Urg... Messy

This weekend was ridiculous, binge drinking, kebab eating, pole dancing. So much fun. I must have drank a million calories and I had a massive curry for lunch a kebab for dinner and a Weatherspoon's fry-up (extra sausage, toast tea and cola) for breakfast...minging!

Well it's back on the diet (and the wagon) today and I am starving - as usual, but it's 1pm and I haven't eaten yet. Think I might have a meal pack. Don't fancy a milkshake. Day 2 of hangover I think, coz I still feel rough..what a wimp!
