Hump day

Well it's Tuesday, day 4 of my challenge or halfway to my first weigh in (hence hump day) "don't forget to check out the results" I will be posting them this Saturday". It does seem though that my progress may be sabotaged by bloody peanuts...

peanut, peanuts, peanuts you terrible beautiful yummy little things...

You know it kind of reminds me of taste buds, for something so small they can rule your whole existence... or is it lack of will power? hmmm not sure? but I prefer the former thought...

Anyway, tonight we are going to a friends for dinner, so I must not have any peanut blowouts today. Fact: did you know that 50g of peanuts have over 1200kj? That's a lot of exercise...

Therefore, I decided to start the day with an omlette, which to Alan's annoyance looked better than his bowl of weetbix. It wouldn't be hard to looked better than what looks to me as compressed cardboard,  even the dog food looks more appetising! Because my omlette was so yummy, I thought I would publish the recipe, just in case you want to enjoy a nutritious low carb breakkie.

Mediterranean omlette

Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • Finely cut anything you want to put in, I had tomatoes, zucchini, capsium, onions, shallots & olives.
  • Salad of your choice.
Method
  • Beat eggs and pour into lightly sprayed non stick fry pan (small one is best) and you must use low heat.
  • Put the ingredients only on one half of the egg mixture.
  • When the egg is cooked, flip the empty side over the side with the filling.
  • Serve with salad or not...
It literally took approx 5 to 7 minutes from beginning to end, happy breaking of the fast...
