Can I just say....
I GOT TO EAT FISH TODAY!!!
*jumps around and does a little dance*
I have never thought fish tasted so good in my life. It was such a delight and I was over the moon!!!!!! But anyway, bit of a reverse. Now time to talk about the other days.
Day 3 - FRUIT AND VEG
Exercise : Kettlebell Workout (FitnessBlender)
Tank Top Arms Workout (FitnessBlender)
I woke up feeling quite nauseous on this day. Apparently this is quite common on any day of the diet but that didn't really help the symptoms go away. I finally felt a bit better after chewing down an orange and lots of water.
I felt pretty weak after doing so much exercise involving heavy weights but I still had quite a clear head. I ate a lot of oranges in morning as I had missed fruit so much the day before and had a bowl of soup for lunch.
In the afternoon, I continued to feel constipated and actually couldn't stop myself falling asleep as I tried to work. I fell asleep for about three hours. I hadn't slept much the weekend previously so I am not too sure if that is because of that or because I am doing this diet. However, after I woke up I had that sick 'i have just had a nap, why do I now feel worse?' feeling so I downed some ice cold water and had some more soup.
It was a good day. I loved cooking myself some mushrooms (using One Calorie Olive Oil Spray which I think is ok to use). Definitely a yummy treat that I didn't realise tasted so goooood. So I will have that on my vegetable days again.
Also I went and bought myself a little pot of pineapple from Tesco as a treat (I checked it was all natural - no added anything JUST chopped up pineapple) and a little pot of melon (likewise) and had those. They were divine and definitely left me feeling more energetic than I had felt.
Day 4 - UP TO 8 BANANAS AND SKIMMED MILK
BANANAS! I have never been a great fan of bananas but this was amazing. I loved how yummy they felt. On other fruit days you're not allowed to eat bananas so this was an extra treat. I also didn't need a nap today and I had only had four hours sleep so the bananas must have really helped me push through.
SKIMMED MILK also meant I could have milk with my tea!!! Never enjoyed my cups of tea more and certainly drank more of them today than any other day (Which is good because technically tea helps my water count for the day).
Exercise - Can you HIIT like a Girl? (FitnessBlender)
Hips, Bums and Thighs (Blogilates)
I had two bowls of soup because I still found myself very hungry throughout the day which was difficult but I finished the day having had 6 bananas, lots of tea and two bowls of soup.
It was good. HOWEVER, a minor issue occurred during today that has made this diet even harder. I am trying to think of a ladylike way of putting this on the internet. Ok, if anyone has watched Clueless?? I began surfing the red wave.....ok and if you didn't get that LADY MONTH ISSUES. Yes basically. So my tummy not only felt constipated but I also had the cramps. So lots of hot water bottles were run that day :D.
I will still push through with this diet though! However, I am scared it will effect my weigh in next week as I always gain weight during this time of the month. So it might not be a fair test of the diet :S
But ah well :D

Day 5 - ONE TYPE OF MEAT + VEG
Now you are really meant to have beef on this day. Beef and vegetables. But I am a student and this diet is already quite ridiculously expensive anyway...so I went and bought fish (you are allowed to replace the beef with chicken or fish). I also would like to point out it is better for you so I am just making the diet slightly more intense right??
It was yum. I had soup in the morning (which I put in the microwave whilst I made my boyfriend his ham and cheese toasties - utter torture) and then an early lunch - fish salad. Grilled Mackerel, lettuce, cucumber, beetroot (the only thing I can really have on this diet in a salad). It was SO YUMMY. I felt so happy. And it actually kept me full till dinner. I suddenly wasn't snacking on carrots constantly or feel hungry quite a lot of the time! I wasn't full but I wasn't hungry. It was brilliant!
I had a fish salad this evening (same ingredients) and it was once again, really yummy. Felt so good!
Now i am feeling happy and refreshed. I should probably have some more soup so I will probably have a bowl before bed but other than that I am feel on top of the world! Tomorrow is another meat day so I am happy! I brought chicken, however, because this day should really be beef again. But I AM A STUDENT! So I bought some cheap chicken.
