had a real munchies on so I went out to get on with the garden with mum, had an apple to munch on. then at lunch time as she has worked on my garden all morning I offerd her lunch and we had a salad but Im surprised just how many calories there are in a mini pork pie, I kid you not there are like 193 cals and im sitting there going "I could eat this thing in one bite!" so I stuck to rabbit food leaves and tomatoes.
Im looking into negative caliorie foods, eg if a tomato has 50 cals in it but takes 75 cals to be eaten and digested by your body it leaves you with a negative calorie count overall of 25 cals. less cals less weight. or so it is supposed to go. still researching tho.
also been looking into ways to boost my metabolism, other than the normal mantra of excersice, excersice, excersice. I remember a while back when I was on the atkins, the shoping channel had another diet about heating up your metabolism with chillies etc, so ill see if I can get any info on that as if I can make the meals I do eat helathier and more fat burning wiht less cals then the weight will come off easier.
yesterday I ate
- breakfast - SF raspberry smoothie -212 cals
- snack - small apple ( home grown organically and the last from last year )
- lunch - salad estimated 600 cals, very shocked at that tho!
- snack - SF chocolate and caramel bar - 93 cals
- tea - pasta and tomatoes ( home made estimate 400 cals)
- water - 4 litres at least
- hot chocolate - options 40 cals
- alcohols - none
- final snack - SF fruits of the forest bar late evening when i got munchies again.
yes I know you are not meant to have two meals and all those snacks but as its TTOTM I feel justified as I didnt reach for the huge slab of galaxy I have im my scraproom. todays job is to go round and gather all the easter eggs that still litter the house and put them all in one place for the kids, they can eat them and keep them away from me, not a huge problem cos I never liked easter egg chocolate anyway. also today mum is coming over again to tackle the other half of the veggie plot so im getting plenty of the dreaded excersice! will probably make lunch for her and stick to my bars tho.
dh has taken a shake, a meal bar and a snack bar to work today but I have to find a healthy meal or snack alternative we can grab while out as his job means often he will be all over the place during the day.
good news is I feel better and altho I havent weighed myself ( and I have a very strong urge to) I think I am winning, altho all the bloating associated with drinking 6 cans of beer a night will be making a difference!
did you know the average can of larger has 220 cals :) will bear that in mind for when I have done my self imposed 2 weeks with no booze.;)
