Milkshake

I have recently started trying to begin the day off with a healthy breakfast especially one that is high in fibre to fill me up so this morning I tried some thing new ...

A really yummy milkshake:

100g papaya
30g no fat milk or lite fruit juice
150g no fat natural yogurt
5g Psyllium husks
10g Whey powder
A couple of ice blocks
Blended in a smoothy maker or food processor.

Calories: 150 = 15.7g protein, 21.8g carbs, 5.4g fibre, 1.8g fat

It gave me a large portion of my needed protein and fibre and completely filled me up. Was tasty too.

I find if I do not have a filling breakfast and try to skip to eating only at around 11 am or so my desire for food in the evening is much stronger. So I am now trying to have a good meal early. We shall see how it goes.

I lost 200g since yesterday (still have 4.6 pounds to loose in 10 days) so I am back on track and feeling far more positive today. I think my period really came at a bad time. I defiantly seem to get overly emotional, depressed and or course have zero will power. I also get terribly lazy and do not feel like exercising at all. Well I am now up to a whole 5 minutes of skipping with out falling over exhausted. I have hung the skipping rope next to the microwave, every time I wander into the kitchen I plan to do 5 minutes of skipping ... that could add up to quite a bit LOL.

I have worked out my day and it is looking good at around 400 cal even though we are going out for lunch. Our regular restaurant is very good to me, they prepare the most amazing calamari / squid salad with no dressing.

I was reading up yesterday that a few small meals through out the day boosts the metabolism rather than trying to limit to one or two meals a day.
