Day4 Lunch Meatball Pasta Primavera

yep it was quite nice, and it looks pretty good too for only 225 calories. Can't beat that really.

You have to admit once it's put into a real bowl or onto a real plate, these meals don't look like a frozen tv dinner :)  I also had a small tub of pears (83 calorlies) with this for lunch but I'm hanging off an hour before having that. Basically so that I can save the afternoon snacks for later on.

They are a slice of  50g Sultana Tea Cake (yes CAKE!!!) 118 calories  and cheese on wafer crisps. 68 calories and 54 calories.
then dinner which I can choose what I want from the LnE dinners we have in the freezer. It doesn't matter which one you have as they are similar in calories.

Total calories for lunch and snacks 448

Day 4 of Lite n Easy

So pics all day today ;)
I don't think I told you that I am on the 1500 calorie plan. This will change when I have lost a few kilos, then I will go down to 1200 calories, which basically is a few less snacks, or one slice of toast instead of two, things like that.

Anyway... this is what I had for breakfast today. Day 4 1500 calorie plan Menu D
Classic Fruit Muesli 35g with skim milk (from my daily 1 1/2 cup allowance) 135 calories
Wholegrain and Oat Toast 41.5g  with Strawberry Jam (real jam not diet jam) 83 + 39 = 122calories
Greek Style Passionfruit yoghurt 100g,  114 calories

Breakfast total calories 371
all was Delicious ;)

 

Catch you for Lunch

Dinner pics

So Michael is only getting breakfasts and dinners. With his shift work it would be a waste to get 3 meals a day. His breakfasts run the same as mine at the moment anyway :)

For breakfast today we had 2 wholemeal pikelets with Fruit Compote (tasted sort of like fruit mince pies filling) plus a slice of wholegrain toast with peanut butter. Michael used our own peanut butter as they gave us smooth and he prefers crunchy.

Morning Snack was a Vanilla yoghurt. All quite yummy ;)

For my Lunch today I had a Long Multi-grain  Roll with Curried Egg Spread and baby leaves very nice ;) Plus a kiwifruit which I skipped.

Afternoon Snack Tropical Nut Mix (mostly sultanas and a few cashews) and a Fig and Pecan Cookie

(the cookies so far have been very yummy and are deceiving, they don't look very big but they are substantially filling)

I posted my first blog post just before Dinner so I hadn't taken any pics of breaky and lunch. But I did take pics of dinner.

Michael had Chicken Dijon  - no complaints from him LOL.

 I had Chicken with Almonds, I nearly couldn't eat it all, it was really quite filling, and did I mention, Yum!!

I forgot to mention that we started the program on Saturday last, so weigh in day for us is Saturday morning. Hoping for a big number since half of it will be fluid loss.

I wanna be ME!!!

This is ME today. 

I have always carried weight, excess weight. and 3 months ago when my Husband and I quit smoking it ballooned even higher. It's time to act... or die!!

So, in an effort to keep my self honest and accountable I have chosen to track my weight loss journey on the Lite 'n' Easy diet plan.

As moral support, my dear husband is on the plan too, just he's on more calories since he is not really overweight, it's more so I don't have to cook twice. 

WE chose this plan because it's calorie controlled and you can't cheat. Well we can't now as the fridge is almost cleaned out and there is very little besides LnE in there LOL.

So let's make a start, the ugly truth first of all...

  

My Stats

weight - 99 kg / 218 lbs

height - 164 cm / 5 ft 4 in

waist - 111cm  

BMI - 36.88

Goals

weight - 67 kg or less

waist - less than 90cm healthy range

BMI - less than 25 healthy range

So comment if you like, cheer me on or share your thoughts in the comments section.

I'll be posting images of what we eat from day to day and what I find are the pros and cons of LnE I'll even start a Yummy and Yucky list for those thinking of starting on the plan themselves.

take it easy :)
