Today has not been a great day foodwise, and I'm paying for it! We were in town shopping and were going to get lunch at one of the restaurants but they all had 40 minute waits and I got fed up! (I am not a big one for crowds or busy city centres) So we went to Waitrose and I grabbed a big sushi pack, a pack of Sunbites (multigrain crisp things) and some granola nibbles. There was a definite element of 'I should have eaten 2 hours ago and I'm hungry and cranky and ready to gnaw my own arm off' to my choices. So I ate the sushi (normally I just have a small pack of sushi along with something more GI friendly), the snacks and about 1/4 of the granola - I was full so stopped (which I'm pleased about, in the past I would have mindlessly chomped through the whole pack).
Now I'm having a major carb slump and am sooooo sleepy. I was trying to make some phone calls and kept yawning and yawning. I'm even feeling a bit too tired to take my husband out to dinner (it will be his birthday while I'm away) but hoping an hourlong nap will sort me out. I was tired already as we stayed up late last night to watch a film (stupid as we have it on DVD and have seen it a billion times) and the cats took this to mean we were staying up ALL NIGHT and spent the next couple of hours jumping on our heads while we tried to sleep. Zzzzz OI! Zzz OI!!! Etc.
This will probably be my final post until I come back from Cyprus, I still have to get organised and packed and run around like a headless chicken looking for lost items like my passport and nifty travel toothbrush. I hope you all have a lovely week.
So:
Breakfast: turkey/tomato scrambled eggs in a wholegrain wrap (we were running late for an appointment so I made it into a burrito to eat in the car while my husband was driving)
Lunch: sushi, multigrain crisps, a little granola
Dinner: will be out at our local place, they usually have plenty of low GI choices and will happily swap the potatoes for extra veggies on the side. I always succumb and have some bread, though, because they tend to have a nice wholemeal/seeded choice in addition to the other stuff and I can't resist as it's all freshly baked.
