What I Ate - 04 January 2015

Hello there again everyone! Here's a quick post about what I ate today:

I didn't weigh myself today, as I'm leaving a week between each weigh in, which will be every Friday for me.

Breakfast: This morning I had another delicious smoothie to set me up for the day. I added Strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pear and peaches, 2 spoons of natural low fat strawberry yogurt and half a cup of orange juice, then blitzed it all up with some crushed ice in the blender! It was so delicious!

Lunch: Todays lunch was a plain and simple ham sandwich on a Pat the Baker Slimbo. I love these because I am quite the devil for bread, so with these I don't feel like I am deprived of my beloved sandwiches. They are only 98 calories and high in fiber, which is extremely important for a healthy and balanced diet, and will help with weight loss also. I paired my sandwich with some homemade tomato soup, which I will be including in a "My Favourite Recipe's" post very soon.

Dinner: I've become fond of the "small plate diet" because its a great way of tricking the mind into thinking that you've got a huge portion of food. Today I had a delicious salad with roasted sweet potato, red onion and red peppers (I've become addicted to these), along with chicken breasts, marinated and roasted with honey and whole grain mustard. It was truly scrumptious. It doesn't look as nice in the picture as it did in real life though.

Snack time: Again being the devil with the sweet tooth that cannot stay away from chocolate, I decided to have a light evening snack. I had crackers with a scraping of Nutella and some chopped strawberries. This is such a light and tasty snack. The crackers are from Tesco and are called French Toasts, and I have put in a picture of the package below. They taste kinda sugary, I'm not sure how to describe it but all I know is that each one is only 37 calories full of deliciousness! I also had a clementine and some Barry's Very Berry Herbal Tea in a very inspirational cup ;) haha.

There ya have it! If I had any tip it would definitely be to enjoy what your eating and if you can, make it exciting. Healthy doesn't have to be boring, but if you make it easy and delicious for yourself you will be able to stick to for the long haul!

Did you enjoy what you ate today?

Lots'a Love,
