Really pleased with how my shape is developing – loved picking up some size 8 clothes last weekend. The Bank Holiday Monday was spent with DH downtown, including a rather lovely lunch, so Tuesday became fast day instead. I’d defrosted some of my chicky-leeky soup for dinner, but then husband requested the mussels that we had in the fridge, and they turned out to be very 5:2 friendly.
On Wednesday, I experimented with a recipe that had appeared in the Guardian, shared on the Facebook forum. It was a roast broccoli and garlic soup. DH doesn’t really like tomato based soups and sauces, so I’m always keen to try out alternatives.
The ingredients weren’t complicated – broccoli, veg stock, garlic, chilli, lemon.
Roast the broccoli in the oven for about 20 mins until starting to char. If using garlic cloves, put them in beside the broccoli – I just used ready squeezed garlic in a tube. Blitz in a blender with stock and chilli (this was the trickiest bit for me, had to try several vessels till I found one that didn’t spurt everything all over the kitchen). Before serving, add lemon zest and juice.
I thought it was rather nice – DH wasn’t impressed.
On Thursday, I tried going without food as long as possible, but was seduced by a little Graze box. Only 95 calories! it promised. So I succumed. And set off a massive sugar craving, which was hard to control for the rest of the day (lesson learned there!) I had that chicky-leeky soup for dinner, but the nibbly biscuits I had took me to about 600 calories for the day.
Friday weigh-in – 135, same as last week. No surprise, no big deal.
Went shopping on Saturday and found a lovely freezer standby – 24 calories per skewer – so 4 skewers is still under 100 cals! Perfect for keeping in the freezer, ready to serve with a salad on fats days.
