It’s been a little while since my last weight loss post updates, just over a year. I posted ‘I’ve Lost 40lbs in Lockdown‘ back in March 2021, about that time it was roughly my halfway point. It’s been 22 months since I started my journey in 2020 and since then I lost 80lbs+ in just under 2 years!
In my previous post, I said I am here for the long haul, It took time for me. Check out my post on my process.
…Ever since I decided to try having a higher protein diet, I have been looking for food and drinks to get me to my daily protein goal. I have known about the brand Grenade for many years now but I’ve just got round to trying their products including their protein bars and shakes! Check out my thoughts on ‘Grenade Carb Killa Protein Shake Review‘ below if you keep reading.
Grenade Carb Killer Shakes come in 7 different flavors. I chose white chocolate after finishing my home workout, finding all the flavors in the shops isn’t always easy as most places only stock about two flavors.
Hello everyone! I hope you are all well? Today’s post is called ‘Why I Love My Mo Health 3 in 1 Egg Cooker’ I got this a few months back in B&M. I wanted to make more snacks that were quick and high protein for around £12, why not?
Mo Health 3-in-1 Egg Cooker cooks eggs in 3 different ways. Boiled, Poached and omelettes. It has settings for soft, medium or hard-boiled eggs (all in the instructions given)

Hello everyone! Today’s post is fitness-inspired and if you are like me, then we might have a similar story. So today is about eating protein-rich plain Greek yoghurt which tastes amazing. I didn’t include it in my diet until I started my fitness journey as i preferred sweeter things like ice cream, cake etc. All that changed when I started my fitness journey. I included more protein-rich foods like greek yoghurt.
As a fitness enthusiast, yoghurt is one of my favourite ways to get protein. My go-to was having flavoured protein yoghurts but I eventually got tired of the flavours. Looking at the labels, a lot of the flavours have a high amount of sugar in them and/or have artificial flavours which I want to avoid when possible.
A few months back I decided to ditch the flavoured artificial yoghurts and started having the much healthier option which is greek yoghurt. Over the past few months, I’ve tried enjoying it in various ways and I’ve put a little post about it below.
…So before we get into what I got for Christmas 2021, I thought I’d share that we were not sure about our plans for Christmas in 2021, since a lot of my family members are from the older generation. We decided it was best to wait till the summer to give them a visit, hopefully, things will get much better by then.
It sure isn’t easy not seeing my gran etc but it’s for the best for everyone at this time. Anyways, we had a Christmas at home as we have done since the year prior.
I got one present given to me this year and the rest of them are gifts to myself as a little bit of a pick me up. It’s a mixture of fitness and beauty products. I am super happy to do a post like this again, last time I did what I got for the Christmas post was in 2018.
A few months ago I ordered a large haul from My Protein. I have just about finished that haul, so it won’t be long before I choose some of my favourites again, yay. I have just about finished my plant-based baked protein cookies, so it’s time for me to review them on my blog.
If you have seen my social media you may have noticed I have been on a fitness journey, so I am finding foods that fit well in my lifestyle. Check out my post on losing 40lbs.
We all know baked cookies that you can get in the freshly baked section in supermarkets, well these are pretty similar to that in both calories and size but the difference being they is less sugar and more protein. They come in 3 mouth-watering flavours and have no artificial sweeteners.
The 3 flavours include choc chip (my favourite), double chocolate and salted caramel.
The cookies contain 289 calories and have 13g of protein. I have looked at similar size cookies from supermarkets and they are around the same bracket; calorie-wise. These sound great if you want to have a sweet treat but also have a little extra protein.
At first, I really enjoyed these cookies, especially with a cup of tea but the more I had them the taste felt dry and a little fake. They do taste so much better if you pop them in the micro for about 30 seconds and have a side of ice cream and vanilla yoghurt.
The texture is a bit thicker than you would expect on a freshly baked cookie but saying that it isn’t horrible or anything. As I said above it’s best with a hot drink.
Out of all flavours, I have tried, choc chip has to be my favourite and more like its cookie counterparts.
hmm, this I am not sure about to be honest, maybe? I might if i fancy a sweet treat with a kick of protein but apart from that maybe not but knowing me probably haha
They cost £18.99 for a box of 12 cookies but if you are a bargain hunter like me, they are usually on offer, so look out for their deals and save those pennies!
