LET'S NOT CALL IT A DIET! | DAY #3.

HEY DOLLS!

DAY 3!

#ohyeah...

OK so I started off the day with an egg toast.

I messed up the egg so ended up putting it in the toast LOL.

Oh and juice of course.

BTW. I want to try coconut water. I tried looking for it the other day at the supermarket but the staff didn't even know about it.

I heard PAVI stocks it.

Have you tried it? Does it taste like coconut?

Or what - so curious!

Like the day before -

I had this tuna bread whatever with tomatoes - what you see x2

- cos I cook them separately so they stay nice and hot.

In the evening I had a salad. It had lettuce, red lettuce, tomatoes, green olives,

benna mozzarella and 3 chicken skewer things.

For dressing - I use balsamic vinegar, olive oil,

fresh black pepper and salt.

Love it!

And I kind of got hungry in the evening - like an hour later,

so - and I was debating about having this,

but I had cookies and milk. The milk part is healthy obviously,

and the cookies are like 50 kcal per cookie -

and even though it's a lot,

they well WORTH IT.

HAHA.

I deserved a treat, no?

As far as drinks,

just water, a glass of orange juice and half a glass of milk.

Tomorrow I'm starting posting about exercise-

 So stay tuned for that !

BTW - Aicha is eating a whole peach everyday.

Such a proud mama I am!

LET'S NOT CALL IT A DIET! | DAY #2.

HEY DOLLS!

Ok so - so far so good.

Day ONE went well,

but I realised I needed to amp my calories a bit and needed to

focus more on carbohydrates

because I was still hungry

and if the concept of

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

was true - in the literal sense,

I had just become a vegetable.

SO here's how DAY #2 went..

Started off with some toast + butter.

And as I'm typing I just realised I've become that crazy person to photograph everything I eat

just so I can share it. LOL. Not cool.

I got up early, so before lunch time I got hungry and had some Weetabix too.

With semi-skimmed milk.

And no sugar, I don't really like to put sugars in my cereals.

Unless it's sugar puffs and that has  loads of sugar in it

- then I LOVE sugar.

and whilst this may look gross to some of you, and I don't blame you for thinking that.

It's just a mix of veggies (cabbage, potatoes, carrots, green beans, broccoli and califlower)

and eggs. I kind of fried them, but without oil.

So whatever that process is called, I did that.



Okay so I was still hungry, after that egg-veggie thing.
I mean not immediately hungry,
but after an hour
I felt so weak and hungry,
I guess the lack of carbohydrates were getting to me.
And since it was still early in the day I needed my energy up.
So I did this thing that my awesome mum-in-law used to cook for me when
I was pregnant (She cooked loads of stuff but this one was one of my favourites).
It's basically bread cut in half 
with tuna, tomatoes, mozzarella and I threw on some mint on top and black olives.
It's lovely and really quick and easy to do.
So I had what you saw in the picture times two.

For dinner I made some roast potatoes (threw in some spray oil or whatever you call that)

with BACON! and if you know me, you have to know I LOVE BACON.

I put it in pretty much everything and I go through some 5 packs per week.

Oh and the meat is pork medallion.

I cooked that with some garlic and some spray oil.

I didn't really have the sauce btw.

I did that so my plate looks prett-ay :D.

Oh oh oh and this is my favourite part. MICROWAVABLE POPCORN.

I'm loving the butter flavoured one.

It tastes soooo good when it's still warm!

I had like 1/3 of the bag.

But don't judge me, okay.

I DESERVED IT!

Oh and here I threw in a photo of my orange juice.

Becasuse I'm a gangster like that.

Okay, okay - I did that just so I remember to tell you guys what I've been drinking.

I drink lots of water (ALWAYS) but I

sometimes drink ice tea peach,

and that has lots of calories in it,

so I'm no longer drinking that.

Throughout these past two days I literally had half a glass of diet sprite

but that's about it.

Oh and of course the juice.

I have a glass of orange juice per day.

I LOVE the Tropicana with juicy bits so I buy that stuff

because I'm too lazy to squeeze oranges.

I actually do have oranges but hate squeezing them.

I don't want to drink my calories. 

I want to focus on eating them,

so that's another thing I'm doing.

Okay -

so that's DAY #2

Tips, tricks, suggestions and all that jazz are always welcome.

Tell me wherever whenever

LET'S NOT CALL IT A DIET. DAY#1

HEY DOLLS!

In my previous post I explained to you guys how I have started a healthier eating diet

type of diet.

But then again I hate the word 'diet' so let's not call it a diet.

So this is what I ate on DAY #1 - meaning yesterday.

So I started off with two slices of toast with butter.

I could live off this stuff!

I had some Fitness cereal with semi-skimmed milk.

I actually prefer whole milk but whole milk was expiring in like 3 days

 and semi-skimmed was expiring in like 4.

So I got semi-skimmed. BOO

I made a salad. And whilst I typically don't like salads all that much,

I did enjoy it. Lettuce, Red Lettuce

(if that's what's it called - LOL I'm dumb when it comes to veggie names),

and  tomatoes.

and threw on two steam fried -then-grilled chicken kebabs.

(For my Maltese readers I got these from Miracle Foods

and they're precooked, so I just cooked them in the convection oven a bit.)
As a salad dressing I used balsamic vinegar, olive oil and ground salt and pepper.

As a snack I had two plums.

(I actually had to google this one, LOL I literally had no idea that these are what plums are.

Plum is a colour to me #dumblady)

In the evening I had two bowls of veggie soup..

I made it! #ohyeah

And I was still hungry so an hour later I made a salad again. Same as before but with Benna mozzarella - which btw is VERY rich in protein and low in fat.


 

I didn't feel full at the end of the night.

And I had SO much cravings,

but I resisted.

I think calorie-count wise, looking back, I didn't take enough.

and it's too veggie-based as a diet.

More carbohydrates HERE I COME.

Any cooking ideas ? Suggestions?

I'd love to hear!
