My Diet - Day 33, 34 & 35

Friday 19th October 2012

Breakfast:  Vanilla Oat Bran Porridge, Cup of Green tea

Lunch: Grilled Mackerel

Dinner: Kebab Meatballs

Snack: Dukan Ice Cream


My exercise for today was jogging (using the Wii Fit) I completed 32 minutes continuously and burnt off 460 calories and covered (according to the Wii) 7476 meters, which is 4.65 miles. I felt good whilst doing this activity, not out of breath at all, my fitness level has always been reasonably good so I'm happy with this. I think my body was ready for me to up the tempo of my daily exercise, and with the weather turning rough it's a definite plus.

Saturday 20th October 2012

Breakfast: Low Fat Yoghurt with Oat Bran, Cup of Green Tea

Lunch: Thick Chicken Soup

Dinner: Chicken Soup (left over) with added chopped up Yorkshire Ham (my OH had 4 slices Yorkshire Ham with Scrambled Egg)

Snack: Chocolate Milkshake

I did 30 minutes of strengthening and toning exercises on the Wii Fit today, think my sides may ache tomorrow but it will be worth it to tone my waist, think my thighs are going to be suffering too - oh well, no pain, no gain.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's dinner, roast chicken with cabbage, leeks, brussels & gravy Mmmmmm ...

Sunday 21st October 2012

I'm not happy this morning as the scales are saying I'm 9st 9lbs which is 1 1/4lbs more than last Monday, I don't know what I've done wrong this week, maybe it's doing 2 days P & 1 day PV, I don't know, but I shall revert back to alternate days.

I also tried making Really Tasty Dukan Bread this morning ... Disaster, looked like it was going well it seemed to be rising and looking like bread, but was nowhere near cooked in the 25 minutes the recipe said, after another 10 minutes I checked it and the whole thing had flattened and looked a mess. I think my chickens will enjoy eating it though, so it won't go to waste.

Breakfast: Grilled Turkey Bacon, Tinned Tomatoes, Poached Eggs, Egg White with low fat cream cheese scramble (had a spare egg white). (my OH also had saute mushrooms), plus a Cup of Green Tea

Lunch: Roast Chicken (no skin), Cabbage, Leeks, Brussels, Gravy with Chocolate Mousse for dessert.


Snack: Vanilla Oat Bran Porridge 

I didn't get the opportunity to go on the Wii Fit today as it was being used most of the day by others.

Tuesday 16th October 2012

Another walk with my son this morning, only for half of it but better than doing the whole walk alone. Distance was 2.17 miles, in 36 minutes, burning 170 calories.

Breakfast: Herb Omelettte, Cup of Green Tea

Lunch: Crispy Ham (ended up not having this)

Dinner: Chicken Curry

Snack: Cinnamon Oat Bran Pancakes

My walk today was slightly under 35mins and I could have gone on for an extra 2 minutes, but I was home and couldn't be bothered. Anyhow, I covered 1.95 miles and burnt 149 calories in 33 minutes.

Thursday 18th October 2012

Breakfast: Scrambled Egg with Cream Cheese, Cup of Green Tea

Lunch: Left over Shepherds Pie (yummmmm really love this dish)

Dinner: Fish Curry with Cauliflower "Rice"  (I used Salmon, King Prawns & Cockles as my fish, mainly for my OH's benefit. I didn't give myself any of the prawns or cockles)



Snack: Oat Bran Pancake

I need to do something different with my exercise as I am getting bored with walking on my own, so now is the time to get out my Wii fit board. I shall still do at least 35mins of exercise a day but it may not be the conventional types you've come to expect. However, what ever I do I shall make a point of listing it all. 

Today I did 35mins in total. (If you know the Wii fit you'll probably know which activities I refer to) I did 2 (short) sessions of the hoopla, 2 short sessions of the step aerobics, 2 short jogging sessions, 2 long jogging sessions & 1 "Island" jogging session ( "it" keeps telling me I am an expert in running and achieve over 100% every time, I can't say the same for the hoopla & step aerobics ... yet).  I did enjoy doing the Wii fit, quite a bit more than walking on my own, although I do like getting out in the fresh air.
