Hello - sorry for the radio silence! Been very busy. Friday I totally crashed after work and vegged out with pizza (I don't count Friday evenings - I need to let up else I get grumpy!). Yesterday i went to combat, had a friend for lunch and the afternoon and then went to a big formal family dinner. So yesterday I didn't calorie count. I'm trying to do it more loosely now so i don't end up thinking about food all the time and because I've agreed to do the 10k (yes 6.3miles!!) run with Race for Life this summer and have already worked out a proper training plan. I'm trying to focus on loads of exercise and less obsessing about my eating. So not counting yesterday or today, but know I'll come in around 1400/1500 coz of the dishes I chose.
Saturday-
B - slice best of both, pb, juice
S - slice soreen light, half a mango
L - goat cheese and roasted veg omlette with side salad (no dressing) and handful chips, tea
D - half fishcake, spinach, boiled mixed veg, slice beef, half yorkshire pud, half slice apple pie. No wine woo!
Sunday -
B - raisin wheats, special k oats and honey, skim milk, tea, juice
S - ginger nut (78 cals I checked)
L - food doctor bagel, scrape olivio, slice soreen light, 2 carrots, watermelon, tea
D - will be: tuscan bean stew (counted that before, think its about 80 a portion) with bns

B - eggsx2, best of both x2, juice, tea with ss milk = 359
L - watermelon, leftovers from last night, greek yog, honey = 366
S -dorset cereals bar = 149
D - morroccan burger, HP, baked sweet potato, peas = 415

I should have gone to gym for run and bodybalance but feel totally wiped. Going to go into work hour later tomorrow so I can go for my run at least in the morning. Grr already slipping behind.
:'( grrrr I just ate a MOUNTAIN on ben and jerries fz yog - so CROSS with myself!! It's not comfort eating it's like punishment/self-sabotage eating. So angry - WHY do we do things like this to ourselves??! Just coz I am cross with myself about not going to the gym, and all the icky depressing valentines stuff everywhere, and coz i'm worried i will never be able to manage 10k in time for the race in the summer. Feel like ****!

no, I couldn't either, had 4 squares but that just takes me to 1400NET. It's disappointingly not very minty at all, especially after the first square I could only taste the choc. The maya gold is much better.
Have a lovely weekend x

I'll try to remember to tomorrow.
Yesterday was blah...this whole week has been blah. One of those that go on forever and you just do not want to me at work. Not even felt motivation to go to gym which usually I enjoy so much. And my back is aching from sitting too much at my desk. Sigh - looking forward to the weekend and then 3 days off next week to go stay in Suffolk with my mum who is staying there for half term week.
B - oats, skim milk, banana, almonds, pb, juice, tea with ss milk = 467
S - melon, dried apricots = 91
L - lentil and bacon soup, half pitta, carrot, peas = 365
S - yoghurt = 143
D - cod, brussels, green beans, pepper, courgette, broccoli, sweet and sour sauce = 295
= 1361
