Simple Start (with my own modifications and occasional cheats in red)

Sunday 18 May

Breakfast: spinach and tomato sautée with poached eggs, 1 Ryvita

Lunch: mixed salad, 40 g soft goats cheese (sub for feta), apple, 6 nuts

Dinner out, but healthy vegetarian restaurant so will make wise choices.

no snacks as late breakfast and early dinners planned.

Edited at end of day:

Ended up with no lunch and a very early dinner of:
Gazpacho (ok), Masala Dosa with veg curry (ok), salad (ok) then went on to undo all the good work by eating: 2 scoops ice cream, 1/2 chocolate brownie and 1 small tub of wasabi nuts.

Ah well. Moving on...

Today plan:

B. Whole grain cereal with soya milk, tsp mixed seeds
S. Yogurt with fruit
L. The goats cheese salad I did not eat yesterday
D. Not decided yet, prob. some bean and veg stew but will update later on after shopping.

edited. Dinner was a medley of steamed asparagus, runner beans and broccoli over 1/2 packet of Sainsburys pea and mint ravioli, drizzle of olive oil and sprinkling of pecorino cheese. No idea of points value, prob. not in my Simple Start plan, but at 327 calories it was a lovely filling and healthy meal!

Starting afresh after nearly one year, no point in beginning a new food diary so will stick with this one.

Hi ur lookin great are ur sausages free x

 

[Caterina]

Hi Georgina, sorry I have no idea as the sausage post was posted in May 2014, however I have been looking around for Filling and healthy vege sausages and so far not got anywhere, the best I fiund for vegetarians is Asda or Sainsurys vege mince, it will have to do for the time being!

 

[georginathomas]

[Caterina]

I am on filling and healthy at the moment because I don't like having to count, it is working well.

Yesterday I had dinner out, 3 courses including pudding and one glass of wine. Blown all my weekly points but luckily I also had a few extra activity points to use up. However am all outpointed now and need to plan my F&H no points day (class and WI tomorrow, thankfully).

So so this is what I am thinking:

B. 1 tbsp toasted oats, chopped banana, strawberries and blueberries in 0% Greek yogurt
L. 2 eggs and mushrooms, toasted crumpet, pear
D. Lentil and vegetable soup, salad, orange

I am going for a keep fit class too so I can get a few activity points under my belt, if I do I shall add a bit of grated Parmesan to the soup.
