0730 Fruit tea to wake up with. Multi-vitamin. Anti-histamine. Joint mumbo jumbo pill.
0730 B - 4 tbsp muesli, tbsp low fat cottage cheese, tsp wheatgerm, skimmed milk. Coffee w skimmed milk.
*Have run out of full fat milk. Skimmed is just not the same in coffee.
1100 S - apple, 4 walnut halves, SF hot chocolate.
*I considered having 5 walnuts but thought that would slow down my progress. Good feeling.
1200 Small glass of full fat milk to take ibuprophen with.
1300 L - sardine al limone (this is a tin of sardines in olive oil with a slice of lemon), 3 oatcakes, salad (carrot, red pepper).
*At the time, I thought I could have just had two oatcakes perhaps. Later, I realised that I was too full to need a snack at 1530. I only felt hungry at 1700 and by that time it was almost time for tea (made by the SO so I wasn't near any food).
1330 SF hot chocolate
1800 T - lamb korma (made with yoghurt not cream), brown rice and peas.
All in all, a good day, if a little low on veg. I've realised that sometimes I eat very little wheat. Interesting as some people seem to be adversely affected by it.
B - 2 scrambled eggs, sliced grape tomatoes, kale, salsa
L - the last of the white bean, kale, sausage soup
S - small, home-made muffin (made with canned pumpkin and a box of spice cake mix)
D - Pat & Oscars -had the small BBQ chicken salad (the website said 1/2 of a small is 320 calories - ugh). I got the ranch, BBQ on the side, no cheese and asked for the tortilla strips on the side, sprinkled on a few. Pretty confident I got the calorie count down to 500 or so.
Saturday -
B - 1 slice WW toast with peanut butter and banana
S - 150 cals of trail mix
L - Asian Chicken Slaw from TJs (seriously. Obsessed).
S - English muffin with 1 oz chicken, 1 oz mozzarella, tomato sauce (toasted)

S - 1/4 cup homemade bread pudding (Portuguese sweet bread, egg, a little nonfat milk, cinnamon, some Splenda), 1/2 cup NSA Ice cream
E - More running around, home improvement, etc. For all the exercise I do on week days, it's the WEEKENDS that really wear me out.
Next time I go to visit my DS I will have to try this Asian chicken slaw! I live hundreds of miles from a TJ's, she's 1 mile away.

I also look at my food log more objectively and analytically, like I do yours.
