| Lite n' Easy Morning to Afternoon |
Breakfast: Berry Wheat Bites Multigrain Toast with Plum Jam
Love this brekkie, glad to have more than just toast and yoghurt this morning. When I started I would never eat breakfast and eating this much would make me ill. I have no problems eating it now and really look forward to having breakfast in the morning.
Morning Snack: Orange
Lunch: Chicken & Pasta Bake
Seasonal Fruit (Red
Apple)
I swapped around the lunch as I had a spare from all the socialising I have been doing lately. I just felt like this rather than a curry for lunch.
I couldn't finish the apple it was just that the skin had a strange texture, it was powdery and grainy. I have never experienced this before and thought that it might have been going off or something?
Afternoon Snack: Choc Hazelnut Fruit Mix
Gobbled this down quick, totally chocolate starved LOL.

| Lite n' Easy Dinner: Roast Beef |
This dinner reminded me that I don't like Roast Beef :S I really wanted to try all the meals I could and give them a fair shot as there may be a hidden gem, this is not one of them for me. The meat is fine, I just don't like the flavour of roast beef.
It's a shame as the gravy is really yummy in this one. I couldn't eat the pumpkin as it was flavourless and mushy and the sweet potato was hard. So I won't be ordering this again.
Glasses of water: 8
Additional Items: 2 x Homemade
Coffee (low fat milk, 2 sugars)
I have been having two coffees lately or a coffee and a coke zero, I have to stop this!
Exercise: Dancing for 60 minutes, moderate to high intensity with soup can weights for about 15 minutes.
I was getting tired of exercise dvds and really not motivated. It always felt like a chore, something that I had to force myself to do. Even though I had been improving and finding the exercises easy, it was still not what I would call fun or even enjoyable.
I love dancing and always have so I decided to put together a compilation of my favourite "get that booty shaking" tracks. I started with a low intensity paced track at the start just to get warmed up, to moderate/high intensity paced tracks and then gradually getting lower in pace towards the end. I called it "Melercise" LOL
I used soup cans as weights in the highest intensity stage and did some shoulder rolls, arm stretches and calf stretches on the last track. I even roped someone else in to do it with me and they really enjoyed it too. I think I found my new exercise routine, it's fun and you can bust your own moves.
My plan is to move up to heavier weights and include some strength training twice a week.
What is your favourite workout?
