#BelowTheLine - Day 4.. I cheated.. sort of

I know. I am a terrible human being but I did.. I cheated. Sort of.

You see it was bloody lovely outside and in the fridge were some cans of Fosters lager. I didn't buy them. They are my mums. But she doesn't want them... so they are sort of a gift.. so that means free right?? Did I cheat???? I don't know!!! But between lunch and tea time when I was absolutely starving and sitting outside enjoying the sunshine I cracked and I had one. It filled me up a little bit which I really needed today, I was so hungry!

My menu today was EXACTLY the same as Tuesday. And it was still really nice but this was the third day of value instant mash - my inside are starting to hurt a little bit and thats honestly, not exaggerating. I feel very heavy in the mid section.

Tomorrow is the last day!!!!!!! And I have pizza and garlic bread for tea!! YIPPPEEEE!!

#BelowTheLine Day 3 - Not that bad really!

Chicken Pie 28p

TEA! 1p

Hia! I won't bore you with everything I did today again (or if you haven't read, click here) but a quick update on here - it's not that hard really!! As long as you keep busy then you get used to it incredibly quickly. Yes I had the 3.30pm munchies and 5.30pm seemed an age away, but after tea I am SO full that I can't fit in my tea and biscuit!! (I still will though. Because I'm fat)

Breakfast was a lovely porridge, jam and banana medley. I must admit I am craving an egg or two with soldiers.. porridge is starting to look a little bit like snot. With a nose bleed.

Mousse 5p

Digestive 1p

Lunch was the same as the other day - a nice ham sandwich which I had to eat within seconds between driving lesson and job interview. 

Tea was SO FILLING!! I had exactly what I did yesterday but today I had a chicken and veg pie. As you will see from my shopping list below, 3 whole pies were only 86p and mercifully there was gravy in it.. I say mercifully because that mash is so damn dry!!

For pudding I had a 5p chocolate mousse and for the start of the soaps, a cup of tea and a digestive biscuit :) yummo scummo and very satisfied. Oh by the way... missing chocolate biscuits?? Put some chocolate mousse on a digestive!!!

#BelowTheLine Day 2 - Could of done with...

Hia! How are you doing? You can let me know in the comments below or by Twitter if you like. I'm doing alright. I walked 5 miles today in practice for Three Peaks (text BEAR91 £1.00 to 70070 to give a quid!) and I did some yoga on what I feel was a practically empty stomach!! Especially after lunch.

For breakfast today I had the same as yesterday and will be doing for the whole week because it's so cheap and I am getting one of my 5 a day in. It was very lovely once again and I didn't need any more than I had.

Lunch though felt disappointing. I had two slices of Tesco bread, one fifth of a pack of value cream cheese and four relatively thin slices of cucumber. That was it! And after a session of Wii fit and yoga on a half portion of porridge and a banana, I was RAVENOUS. It was nice don't get me wrong!! But I really wanted a big cereal bar or something.

After I did my Three Peaks mini walk which took just over an hour and a half of fast paced walking, I was looking at the twigs in the road wondering if it would be nutritionally worth it. I got home about 3.30pm and didn't stop looking at the clock until it was 5.30pm and acceptable tea time.

Tea was surprisingly large!!! But soooooo dryyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I used just under 200g of carrots and 100g of frozen peas, 2 value sausages and one third of a packet of tesco own instant mash. It so badly desperately needed gravy and salt but unfortunately I had not budgeted for such luxuries.

I cannot complain though. Someone put it into perspective for me today - 22,000 children will die TODAY due to poverty. I'm not dying.. and I'm not really that hungry. I am programmed to just want more. Twenty two thousand kids.
