Yesterday was day one. I got the the gym a little later than I'd hoped but still managed to fit in a body combat and spin class. My bum is hurting today! I admit mostly from the seat in the spin class and less so because of my extreme work out but still. Feeling pretty virtuous!
The hardest thing still remains my will power when it comes to eating. Coming back from the gym and feeling virtuous at the fact not only is it 9.30pm and I haven't eaten since 1 but also all the energy I've used up has turned me into a version of the cookie monster from sesame street.
Some of my best low calorie snacking tips are as follows:
- Seafood sticks only contain about 16 calories per stick and virtually no fat
- baby plum tomatoes - only a few cals each
- low cal cuppa soups help with instant hunger pains while you attempt to cook something healthy. Low cal.
- Obviously fruits such as apples, melon, pineapple etc is good (I'm not always as good with this as i should be due to fruit allergies)
- Randomly Del Monte smoothie lollies are really good as a dessert alternative. Only 100 calories per stick and pretty much fat free!
Other tips for a fast food fix without actually eating fast food is anything that can be microwaved easily.
- My real favourite are the vegetable steam bags you can get. for example from Birdseye (Steam Fresh). You just pop it in the microwave for 3 mins and her presto perfect veg.
- Also if you a fan of fish you can get little pockets containing fish in parsley sauce. Only 4 mins and great to go with your veg. Whole email is less than 200 calories.
- If your prepared enough you can always make a large batch of vegetable soup at the start of the week and include a bowl of that as a starter and then before you know it stuffed and only eaten around 350 calories. :)
