Lunch Calls!

Another lunchtime, another meal of the day. Today I have tried something new. I had wholemeal pitta pizza!
It was delicious, but next time I am using less pesto, it was a tad overpowering!



I had a wholemeal pitta bread, spread with tomato ketchup (I prefer tomato puree but we didn't have any), added 30g low fat Mozzarella, Red onion, Basil Pesto and 1 slice of Chorizo! I served this with some Cucumber and Red pepper slices! 

It was nice to eat something warm for a change and at a total of 390 calories it made a welcome change!

1 Week down!

A week in to my new healthy eating plan and I am feeling great having lost 4 pounds from just counting calories using my fitness pal! This week I want to up the fitness, if I can squeeze it in with work and college! I want to say I will defiantly do some form of exercise 3 times a week, and push that to 5 when I have the time!

Unfortunately I just would only really be able to go to my local gym twice a week which I don't think is worth it for the amount I would need to pay! So instead, for the time being I plan to do Josie Gibson's DVD combined with yoga. I know yoga isn't cardio and fat burning particularly but I really enjoy it and always feel refreshed after it, and then the DVD, well, it kills me quiet frankly! But that means its working right?!


I will keep you updated during this week which  I feel is going to be tough!!

My Fitness Pal App

I feel incredibly focused this week and hopefully it will last! I decided to start using the My Fitness Pal app, now I think this little app is a gem and its free! You simply add the food as you eat it either by searching for the food or scanning the product barcode.

This app has everything you can think of even supermarket branded products, and if it doesn't you can simply add in the amount of calories. You can put exercise in there too choosing what, time, how much effort you put in! It's great/ scary to see how quickly calories add up!

I will update you in the week!

Lunch Calls!

So its Lunchtime again and I have gone back to an old favourite that I haven't had for a,brown and wild basmati rice with tuna, cucumber and spring onion!

This is totally delicious and good for you. I choose the brown rice version just because I think it keeps me fuller for longer with the slow release energy, its also a brilliant lunch to take on the go with me.

What is your favourite healthy lunch?
