I had Monday and Wednesday as my fast days this week, as it was full on busy every day!
On Monday I was struggling to go completely without food, so I had Ryvita with low-low cheese during the day, and some Bovril and miso soup. For dinner I had some leftover boiled ham, along with a salad of cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls and a pesto dressing. I’d bought some of the new Nakd bars with added soya chunks for protein (they’re much tastier than that sounds!) and had one of those as a very satisfying 100 calories sweet tooth calmer.
I was taking Thursday off to go to the Balmoral Show with my sister, so I didn’t really want to have that as a fast day. Which left Wednesday. But I was going straight to a governors meeting after work, and didn’t want to be too rumbly in the tumbly. So I decided to try out the highly recommended Marks and Spencers delicious and nutritious mooli ribbon meal.
This comes in duck, beef, or tuna varieties – I chose the latter as it had the lowest sugar content. It also came with edamame beans, which I love. It was pretty tasty, filled its purpose for a mere 150 calories, but at £3.50 I balked at the price. Luckily I’ve since picked up a £1 off voucher, so I may try another selection from the range next week.
Another find was the little souvlaki chicken kebabs, at only 70 calories per skewer – very tasty indeed!
It feels good to be fasting 2 days a week – I can tell that my body likes this approach. My weight is still creeping down slowly – the afternoon girly shopping trip with my sister netted a lovely size 8 jacket (also from M&S, I really should buy shares in the place), and I’m currently wearing a pair of size 12 jeans which are decidedly baggy and which will be going in the charity shop bag after they’re washed.
Oh, and lovely surprise of the week – I received a phone call from my old University that I’d won an iPad in a draw, so I had to go over there and get my photograph taken being presented with it. So I took the opportunity to wear an outfit I’d bought recently on the half-price rail at – yes, you’ve guessed it – from their Per Una range: indigo linen trousers, and ice-blue Tshirt with draped neckline, and a blue grey Chanel style edge to edge jacket. I was pretty pleased with the published photo, the shininess of the jacket looks great. And my son is delighted that he’s inheriting my old iPad.
