It’s Day 3 today of the Minimize Yo Butt Challenge (only another 39 days left to go! – don’t worry I wont be posting daily for that period of time!)
Yesterday’s post was rather rushed so I thought to do it a little earlier whilst the kids are out may be better, particularly as I have a great idea for a lunch to share with you all.
I’m home alone until dinner tonight so I’ll be offering no Kiddie lunch alternative and the Hubby is still away for work so is probably enjoying a very fattening lunch somewhere.
Meal 1 (7am)
Guess what? Scottish Rolled Oats (Porridge) and Honey with Hot Semi-Skimmed Milk.
Meal 2 (10am)
Frozen Summer Fruits with Strawberry Flavoured Whey Protein Blended with Skimmed Milk
Meal 3 (12.30pm)
2 Slices of wholemeal toast spread with double concentrate tomato puree topped with tinned mackarel in tomato sauce and grilled halved cherry tomatoes sprinkled with mixed herbs. A very balanced and healthy meal. Protein, Carbs and a Vegetable. 7 cherry toms provide 1 of your 5 a day. Really tasty and contains the hugely beneficial Omega 3.
Meal 4 (3pm – not yet eaten)
Myoplex Diet Meal Replacement Bar (on the run – the school run!)
*not an affiliate link – the product may be called ‘Lite’ in the US?
Meal 5 (5pm – not yet eaten)
All the family – Slow-cooked Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Rice
Meal 6 (9pm)
Chocolate Flavoured Whey Protein blended with Skimmed Milk
Exercise
An all over body workout with kettlebells is on the cards. I’m only just getting into kettlebells and have purchased a DVD to assist whilst I get the hang of it. As such no advice or tips on this as I am a novice! However the rumour is they produce fantastic results. So very simple and minimal therefore I love the idea of it, let’s hope the execution and results is as pleasing long-term.
How’s the challenge going for you?

Thanks for the recommendation Marc and I’ll be checking it out. Not sure if it’s because I’m in the UK but I really struggled to get a kettlebell DVD. particularly one that had a good review. The one I have actually doesn’t even use a kettlebell on the DVD but dumbells and explains how you’d use a KB in place – bit bizarre, but was recommended and was only £4. I tried to get ‘From Russia With Tough Love’ specifically for women but it was really pricey… over £30.

Another delicious day Jo!
After hearing about all of your delicious sounding whey protein shakes this week, I looked it up and discovered that pure whey protein is gluten-free. I may have to try some!

Go for the summer fruit version – it really is fab! 🙂
