AshieFan's Diary

[Plumfoodie]

(forgot to say, I loved your post too - cracked me up! Which I don't feel bad about as you said you could laugh now too. )

[AshieFan]

Funnily enough, I have nakd bars in my work bag and my shopping bag but did not take a bag to my mum's. May keep some in my car instead.

No calorie counting because I was out and about visiting people. I probably overdid the calories, although everything I ate was low GI plus I did do some exercise.

B: Porridge with strawberries + milk + seeds
S: yogurt & seeds
L: beans on toast with a little cheese
S: 10 almonds
D: all in one combo of rice, black eyed beans & chicken, followed by square of 70% chocolate
S: hummus and oatcake

No veg and very little fruit today. Shopping tomorrow so will get to eat a little variety again.

Proud of: moderate pace walking for 35 minutes (100 calories according to mfp)

[Plumfoodie]

Mm your dinner sounds nice! I'm starting to think I should stash Nakd bars everywhere I can think of: house, car, garden, one in each coat pocket...

Well done on sticking to friendly foods and walking - it can require much willpower when out and about!

You're doing really great Ashie especially being out and about, and it is a weekend . That's really great you got a walk in today too!

[AshieFan]

Thanks, Cali and Plum.

I'm posting my food so far as I have no idea what my food will look like for the rest of the day. I have afternoon tea and a dinner party to go to!

B: Porridge with blueberries + milk + seeds
S: oatcake & hummus & tomato
L: shop bought Mexican bean chilli soup with added shredded chicken

[Plumfoodie]

Ooh, that sounds rather jolly. Hope you had fun!

[AshieFan]

Oops. Ate. Far. Too. Much.
Food: delicious. Tummy: the size of a pregnant elephant.

EDIT: 3 days now where I have not counted calories. Wednesday is not looking good, folks.

Positives:
Went for a 30 minute walk
Didn't nibble much on nibbles

[Plumfoodie]

As long as you enjoyed it - it sounds like too delightful a day to have passed up. The tum will only be temporary! As they said in Juno, it's just a food baby (elephant).

[CaliSweden]

Don't worry Ashie, you still went for a walk and that helps fire up the engine. So you're burning extra calories now I wouldn't stress about weigh in, and don't overcompensate like I did before. Everyday is a new start and a new low GL day

[irish molly]

Cali, I just love your point about every day being a new start and new low GL day! So very true. Something we all need to keep in mind.

[AshieFan]

A new day, a new start.

Today the food looked like this:

B: Porridge with blueberries + milk + seeds
S: hummus with veg
L: leftover Mexican chilli soup with toast and cheese
S: oatcake w/ peanut butter & banana
D: spicy salmon + spinach + peas stir-fried rice with split pea dahl followed by square of 70% chocolate and a few raspberries
S: don't feel hungry but will have a little snack in a minute, otherwise I will wake up at 5am, starving

Positives:
* Well within my calorie limit
* kept to the plan
* felt in control
* walked for 35 minutes

Food looks good Ashie, and you did really well with your positives! I love your walks, they're making me miss mine. But it's too cold >_<

[CaliSweden]

Hi Ashie, hope you're doing well. Miss yah! Congrats on the weightloss! I saw it on MFP. You're doing great!
