Oh well here is the stat of my diary which I hope will maybe keep me on track. I'm going to start off by trying to just make healthier choices with my food and stick to a vegetarian diet as much as possible (though I've a funny feeling I might have trouble giving up prawns of all the stupid things...).
I find calorie counting a bit difficult as my windows phone has a very limited number of aps in this area. I also kind of feel that losing weight shouldn't really be as difficult as it would be if I counted every calorie. I'm really hoping that I'll be able to lose weight by instinct as it were.
I desperately need to avoid having multi-packs of things like crisps and biscuits in the house as that's just asking for trouble for me sadly. Luckily my partner has also decided he needs to eat a healthier diet though for him it's because he has diabetes (not related to diet). I myself have a stress-related joint problem which makes it difficult for me to work my jaw properly. At times I'll need to stick to soft foods which don't require much chewing.
Anyway today
Breakfast
2 x scrambled eggs with semi-skimmed milk and tiny amount of extra-mature cheddar
Kiwi, apple and ginger smoothie
Lunch
Banana
Tea
Cream of tomato soup with 3 slices of soft white bread
Snacks
Chocolate bar (38g)
Slice of honeydew melon cut into small pieces
At the moment I'm trying to rest my jaw a bit which is why I'm on the "care-home" diet. I'm really hoping my pet chickens pick up on their egg-laying as 1 egg a day from the three of them isn't going to satisfy my new-found love for scrambled egg. One of them is unwell so has an excuse but there's another one of the beggars that is clearly a total slacker.
