Still on track with diet

photo credit: YLegrand Well, it’s a few days in and my diet seems to be getting on relatively well. Yesterday wasn’t such a good day, as I was out with a few friends in the evening and after a steak dinner, we hit a bar and ended up painting the town red. Today was a…

Noodles for lunch

I’ve found these great M&S noodles which I had for lunch; they’re just 300 calories and made from fresh ingredients; as opposed to plain old pot noodles. You simply add hot water and off you go. I still find it quite strange that M&S have a complete range of branded items you can get in…

Sampling Route 66

We went to a new burger joint in Douglas called Route 66 today. It’s note quite new, because the outlet has been moving from one place to another in the Isle of Man over the years. The great thing about it is that it’s not a franchise, but a personal business so there’s a certain…

Xmas is over .. back to the diet

So, the Christmas period is over .. ok, it’s been over for a couple of weeks now, and I’m well on my way to getting back on track with my diet. We had some relatives over, then Arthur‘s birthday, so it’s been a bit touch and go, but I’ve managed to lose one of the…

She’s added almonds and hazelnuts to the mix and left them open with a star on top. They’re more like tarts than mince pies and they’re pretty awesome! It’s nice that she’s ready…

Day 2 of my diet

And it’s still going well. I’ve decided to move my food diary to a separate page, otherwise my blog will quickly get pretty boring. Managed to keep it to 1500 calories today again, thought it’s only 8:00pm and I know the kitchen is closed. Well, the trick is going to be to keep myself busy,…

Sundried Tomato Bread

sun-dried-tomato-bread

We bought a bread maker a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I’d make some bread to go with dinner tonight. We had some sun-dried tomatoes in the fridge, so I looking up a recipe online. Not finding exactly what I wanted, I adapted this one and here’s what I did: 1 6g packet…

Since I’ve started going to gym I’ve been keeping an eye out for ways to speed up my metabolism and supplement my energy. Here’s a press release I came across about a new product on the market: Prohealth’s Energy NADH Stimulant-free energy with staying power NADH is a naturally occurring coenzyme in the body, which…
