Pie vs Pizza - Weight Loss Week Eight Day Six Lite and Easy (Lite n' Easy)

Day 6 - Monday
10/03/2014

Cheesy, Hammy Deliciousness

Breakfast: Smokehouse Ham, melted Cheese and Tomato on a toasted Multigrain Muffin
I forgot the Tomato!  I had four hours sleep and then went to catch up with my family for the day, so don't judge me. :P

Regardless, cheese, ham and muffin still equals deliciousness.

Morning Snack:  Orange

Mmm Pie

Lunch: Shepherd’s Pie and a Two Fruits Fruit Cup

I really enjoyed the Shepherd's Pie, my family had pizza & garlic bread again so I brought my lunch.  I didn't feel like I was missing out though, it was really good.

Afternoon Snack: Vanilla Yoghurt

I didn't eat my snacks today which is bad I know, when I'm out and socialising I find it harder to eat my snacks.

Butter Chicken with water logged rice anyone? 

Dinner: 181 Butter Chicken

This wasn't very nice tonight, the rice was water logged.  I think sometimes there is too much ice build up in the meal.  I usually really enjoy this, the sauce was still good but the rice really let it down. 

Glasses of water: 5

Additional Items: Homemade Coffee (low fat milk, no sugar)

Coke Zero 600 ml

Exercise: None

I was out most of the day and I could barely walk anyway. After dancing for five hours on Sunday night, my feet were still so sore.

Weight Loss Week Seven Day Three Lite and Easy (Lite n' Easy)

 Day 3 - Friday

28/02/2014

Lite n' Easy Morning to Afternoon

Breakfast: Nut Cluster Crunch Wholegrain & Oat Toast with Honey

One of my favourite cereals and I'm getting use to eating this amount for breakfast.

Morning Snack: Dried Apricots

Lunch: Smokehouse Ham, Cheese and Tomato on a Round Roll

Orange

I'm really enjoying the taste of the Lite n' Easy rolls.  I once thought they were too small, not any more.

Afternoon Snack: Vanilla Yoghurt

I hope they haven't replaced all the fruit yoghurt with Vanilla, I seem to get Vanilla yoghurt a lot.  It's nice but it's also nice to mix things up a bit. 

Lite n' Easy Dinner: Shepherd's Pie

Dinner: 180 Shepherd's Pie

So I did have a bit of a plating fail with this one but I'm not perfect.  This is good and I do like it but I think the gravy could have a bit more flavour.  I would order it again.

Glasses of water: 7

Additional Items:  Homemade Coffee (low fat milk & 1 tsp sugar)

Exercise: None

Weight Loss Week Six Day Six Lite and Easy (Lite n' Easy)

Day 6 - Monday
24/02/2014

Lite n' Easy: Morning to Afternoon

Breakfast: Fruit n Muesli Toast with Butter Vanilla Yoghurt

I find that I need something more for breakfast, a piece of toast and a small yoghurt just don't cut it for me anymore.  I find that when I have breakfasts like this I end up hungry quicker in the afternoon and after dinner.  I think that is why I ended up having dessert.  I'll try to be mindful of this going forward and try to order the cereal/toast combo or something just as filling.

Morning Snack: Two Fruits Fruit Cup

So sick of these! (It didn't help that I didn't like them in the first place) L

Lunch: Napoli Meatballs on a Long Multigrain Roll

Orange

I really enjoyed this lunch.  The roll and the sauce were really yummy, the meat is bland but I didn’t really notice it because of the sauce.

Afternoon Snack: Dried Apricots

Having such a light breakfast these did nothing for me at all.

Lite n' Easy Dinner: Corned Beef

Dinner: 04 Corned Beef

I avoided this dish on the menu as I thought that I wouldn't like it but I was wrong.  It was really yummy.  The meat was quite nice, I liked the sauce and there was lots of mashed potato.  I would definitely order this again. 

Glasses of water: 7

Skinny Cow: Double Chocolate Sundae

Additional Items:  Homemade Coffee (low fat milk, 2 sugars)

Skinny Cow Double Chocolate Sundae

Exercise: 20 mins 1 mile walk Leslie Sansone (Can't find exact copy but there is a similar Youtube version here). (I use soup cans as light weights for upper body sections).

I was not feeling well today, migraines and all but I haven't been exercising much this week so I made myself do it.  I only did the one mile, I have previously been doing the two mile, but even though I was tired I noticed how far I'd come.  I'm not an athlete by any means, but I didn't get as tired, puffed and my resting rate came around a lot quicker.

I still worked up a sweat as I gave it my all but I want to get back to the two mile and push myself.

Weight Loss Week Five Day Six Lite and Easy (Lite n' Easy)

Day 6 - Monday
17/02/2014

Lite n' Easy: Morning to Afternoon

Breakfast: Fruit n Muesli Toast with Butter and a Vanilla Yoghurt

I don't really like this breakfast as I don't think it is as substantial as the others, so I'm more likely to get hungrier throughout the day.  This is the "new" vanilla yoghurt, I think the difference is that it's a little sweeter which I like.

Morning Snack: Seasonal Fruit (Red Apple)

Getting over apples, so, so many apples.

Lunch: Satay Beef and an Orange

I had this instead of the chicken filet roll.  This was pretty good, I'd have this lunch again.

Afternoon Snack: Rosemary & Rock Salt Crackers 

I really enjoy the flavour of these, after being on Lite n' Easy for a while I really taste the salt in things like this though.

Lite n' Easy Dinner: Chicken Parmigiana

Dinner: Chicken Parmigiana (#183)

This is yummy but because of all the sauce and because it's frozen, the crumb on the chicken is just soggy.  I would probably have this again but I would chose other meals over it.

Glasses of water: 5

Additional Items:  Homemade Coffee (low fat milk, 2 sugars)

Exercise: None

I have had migraines and nausea all this week.  On top of this I can't sleep at night so I'm pretty much just feeling miserable all day and exercise just isn't happening.
