Day Thirteen

Oh dear, not Day Thirteen!! Its an unlucky number, so what's the betting the scales aren't kind to me today?! lol


Its 11.30am and I have only recently finished breakfast (or brunch) again, so it looks like fruit for a late lunch then. I had another teaspoon of linseeds this morning as I still haven't 'been' :/


11.10am Breakfast
Mushroom, cheese and 2 slices of pepperoni omelette with a mug of Green Tea. I didn't do as much filling as the photo I posted yesterday.

Day Thirteen's Breakfast

I have also started taking Adios Max* today. I have had them for a while, but always forget to take them! lol

* Adios and Adios Max are effective, natural, herbal medicines which help speed up weight loss by acting on the body's metabolism (helping to speed up the rate at which your body converts fat in your body into energy). When taken as part of a calorie-controlled diet with exercise, this can lead to weight loss.


2.35pm Lunch (Late Lunch)
Just some fruit. Grapes, blackberries and blueberries. I still need to pop out and get some milk for my low carb cauli cheese! I bet they have sold out at my little shop now, but I'll have a look when I have finished my fruit :)

Fruit For Lunch

OK, I've just done my 55 minutes with the Charlie Brook workout DVD...

An interval clip between workouts they show

Then I did about 13 minutes on the Wii Fit, beating my score yet again on the Step Plus workout:

Step Plus Score - Day Thirteen

Then I closed my eyes as I stood on the Wii Board waiting for the weigh-in results, being the thirteenth day, and with yesterday's results I wasn't expecting much.... but they said I'd lost a pound again woo!! (I did have a little poo earlier) So its back to 9lbs lost so far! still a couple of days until the 2 week weigh-in to see how much I have lost in 2 weeks :)

I've been invited round my parents tomorrow for a roast dinner, which will just be meat and veg on my plate while I watch the rest of my family enjoy roast potatoes and yorkshire pudding! :( lol I'll make sure my Mum doesn't put too much on my plate though to keep my portion size down :)


19.00pm Dinner
Low carb cauliflower cheese! (recipe posted on Day Twelve) I didn't eat it all, I have put some in a tub to have another day :) I'm rather full now too and it was mainly cheese and veg woop!

Low Carb Cauliflower Cheese

Day Twelve

Yey its Friday again! Today my cat has her yearly booster jab at the vets! Thats going to be a workout in itself chasing her around my flat to get her in her carrier! lol

I want to do a Charlie Brooks workout once I have got back from the vets and my flat is nice and clean. She said two to three times a week is how often you should do her work out, so I'll do one today and then either another on Saturday or Sunday too. The workout is about an hour long, so its better to do it when I have more time.


6.30am Breakfast
Natural yoghurt with blackberries and linseeds with a mug of Green Tea.

I forgot to but any bacon yesterday so I might do a cheese and mushroom omelette for breakfast tomorrow? (I did purchase a LOT of cheese yesterday hehe). The one pictured below has peppers and spring onions in it too, I have some spring onions left from yesterday, so I could use them too. It does look very filling! :)

 

8.20am Pot of Green Tea

I have some frozen cauliflower in my freezer, so was just looking into some low carb cauliflower cheese recipes and found this:

Alternative cauliflower cheese

Classic cauliflower cheese uses flour to make a bechamel sauce.
Break up the cauliflower into florets and cook (steaming for 15 minutes is a good way. I use a collander type steamer over a pan of water.)

Beat 2 eggs into half a pint of milk or cream. add a teaspoon of made English mustard and mix in an ounce of grated strong cheddar cheese. Season. Pour this custard over the cauliflower in an oven proof dish. Sprinkle some more strong gated cheese ove and bake at 190 C for 35 minutes. The cheese topping should be bubbling.
Carb count is negligible.

I absolutely LOVE cauliflower cheese, so might pop out and get some skimmed milk at the weekend or cream if my little shop doesn't have milk as I have the rest of the ingredients :) WOOP! LOW CARB CAULI CHEESE!!!! :)

11.15am Snack

Pink Lady apple

Looking forward to my cheese and grapes for lunch before the trip to the vets!

12.45pm Lunch

Its cheese and grapes time!!! With some chestnut and rum chutney from the chestnut festival in Switzerland :) - No, I didn't eat all of it! Cheese is quite filling you know!

Friday's Lunch

Exercise time! I did 55 minutes of Charlie Brooks workout DVD and then 21 minutes on the Wii Fit. I did the highest Super Hula Hoop again today which is 5 mins circling to the right then 5 to the left and I beat my highest score :)

3289 spins! woooo

Can you believe that the scales said that my weight has increased a little!!! :( :( - My first weight increase!! :( 

Day Twelve's Weightloss Chart

Not actually sure why, although it could have been the cheese? But I'm sure I had cheese last time I did this diet and didn't put on weight. Come to think of it, it might be because I haven't 'been' in over a day, so all the food I have eaten is still stored up inside me? (sorry, bit gross lol) I have just eaten a teaspoon of linseeds with a glass of water as they are high in fibre ;)

6pm Dinner

Yesterday's chicken stir fry re-heated :) Eaten out of the tub and with chopsticks! - yum :)

Day Eleven

I have just noticed that I didn't eat my Pink Lady apple yesterday! I'll have that today instead :) I had a look in the mirror this morning and can gladly say that my 'muffin top' isn't as bad as the one I posted yesterday! lol Maybe my trousers have got a had looser or something, but I'm sure it was worse than it looked this morning!


6.30am Breakfast
Same as yesterday, used the last of my blackberries today so I need to do a food shop! I also don't have any salad left. I think I'll get some bacon and tinned tomatoes as well for my breakfast treat at the weekend. Its good to treat yourself on a diet, I know I am allowed bacon and eggs on the low carb diet, but it feels like a treat ;) I like to have something different from salad for lunch on Fridays too as I finish at lunch time. I'm thinking cheese and grapes for lunch tomorrow? (As pictured, but without the wine as booze is a no no).

Possible Friday Lunch?

When I got home I went straight on My Fitness Coach, here she is:

My Wii Fitness Coach

I did 15 minutes with the fitness coach then 15 minutes on the Wii Fit, and today the scales said...

Day Eleven's Weightloss Chart

I really didn't expect to have lost 3lbs over the last 2 days as the rate of losing weight normally slows down after the first week so I am quite impressed :)

18.15pm Dinner


Chicken Stir Fry (low carb of course)


Ingredients
Chicken
Beansprouts
Garlic
Snap peas (think thats what they are called lol)
Asparagus
Spring Onions
Mushrooms


In the frying pan. 

Chicken Stir Fry

This portion size is way too much for one meal, even though I'd normally scoff the lot in one go! So I decided to be good and put some in a tub for tomorrow...

 

Washed down with some Green Tea.
