Simple, quick and delicious.  I can't remember the last time I had a baked bean toastie.

healthy smoothie
Mmm Banana

100 ml Paul's Smarter White Milk (Woolworths)
10 grams Kraft Peanut Butter No Added Sugar Or Salt (Woolworths)

I wanted to use up the last of the Bananas as they were getting a bit brown.  I really don't think there was enough Peanut Butter to add any flavour, I'd leave it out next time.  The Berry Banana Shake (recipe here) is so much better than this, I will have to make it again! 


weight watchers frozen meal review
Not So Hot
Dinner: Beef Hot Pot (Weight Watchers)
*This meal cost: $4.00 (Coles)
Thank you to those that told me about the special price, you know who you are :)

This meal was absolutely horrid! It looked disgusting, it's pretty bad when I can't make a dish look appealing.  It tastes just as bad as it looks, maybe even worse. 
It was bland, salty, goopy and the meat was fatty, stay away!

*Total cost for today's portions: $7.48
*These prices are calculated by current costs and specials and calculated per gram or item.
Keep in mind that I'm also consuming about 1500 calories on average.


Glasses of water: 7

A smaller workout is better than none
Exercise: Dancing (About my routine here)

I had to cut it short today as my foot was sore, sometimes it happens when I stand, walk or dance on them too much.  My heel was hot, sore and I could barely walk on it, I soaked it in an ice bath and it seemed to help.  Does this happen to anyone else?

    1. Hi Shannon,

      Thanks for your comment. I usually log mine via computer rather than a phone or app, I'm assuming this could be why. Do you use a phone/app?

  2. If your aim is to look burn fat quickly, then you should consume larger amounts of vegetables and fruits interweaved with low calorie carbohydrates, proteins as well as essential fats. However, the best vegetable regarding fat burning comprise of leafy-green varieties and red peppers, tomatoes and onions. Fibrous fruits are ideally found in apples, bananas, strawberries, pineapples and grapes. Grapefruit particularly, because of its capability to flush-out chemicals and toxins from your body. Eradicating toxins lower your pH level that supports the body for releasing undesired fat. Carbohydrates must take the type of beans and whole grains as well as whole wheat pastas and oatmeal or multi grain cereals and breads. Lowe-calories proteins can be found in foods like chicken, turkey, salmon, mutton or lean beef. Reduced milks, cheeses, yogurt and egg whites are also considered as excellent fat burning foods. In fact, when put-together such foods could assist to develop a healthy eating schedule, while burning fat as well as developing lean muscles.

    Consume calcium to burn fat quickly:

    If you are desperate to burn fat, then how can you avoid calcium as it is the best food accountable for fat-burning, particularly the unsafe belly fat. Consuming 3-servings per day can offer a yield of approximately sixty percent fat-loss while comparing to those who don’t eat it. However, the best source comes from dairy products like milk, low-fat yogurt and cheese. For those who’re lactose bigoted calcium could be found in vegetables like collard, soymilk, turnip greens, tofu, broccoli and fortified orange-juice
    Consume Larger Amounts of Vegetables and Fruits
