I was delighted this week to get in touch again with my zumba class – thanks to the magic power of Facebook. Since finishing the half-marathon last month I’ve been running less, so I’ve been looking for different ways to keep active. I love anything even vaguely dance-related, and it’s hard to do zumba without a smile on your face.
My Monday fast this week went well, and I’d found a tub of Tom-Yum soup in the freezer which I used for my evening meal.
I still have to battle my sweet tooth, but I’ve found these cereal bars are nicely chewy for only 75 calories and a few grams of sugar. The Tesco caramel one is my favourite.
Wednesday was a non-fast day, and the supermarket were selling 2 trout fillets for £4. I had one wrapped in foil with a few sliced mushrooms and some Greek basil. And the other for my Thursday fast meal – I cooked it in a bowl with a plate over the top in the microwave – I added a few slices of lemon and a splash of white wine. I served it with some asparagus spears, also done in the microwave, and a sort of tartare sauce made with fromage frais, capers and finely chopped pickled onions. It was absolutely delicious! I’m glad I’ve been reminded about trout – half the calories of salmon, much less fat, and the same amount of protein.
All in all, a good week!
