Hi everyone, i'm very pleased with myself this week as after 4 weeks of mucking around (staying the same through my own fault!) I have had a perfect week, no booze or pasties! (I used to do agency work for a bakery and cornish pasties were free for all staff at breaktimes!)
Also, I have gone from being vegan for the last 2 months, so back to eating meat and dairy, it's just what I do, every so often I feel the need to kind of 'detox' from meat and dairy and then after a while I feel ready to eat it again, it's made this week much more interesting, I had my first red day yesterday and I was amazed at how much less I ate.
Normally I do green days and I am constantly hungry, eating loads of rice, pasta, potatoes and once or twice a week I make lasagne crisps. Yesterday I had a bacon sandwich (HEX B bread), some fruit, a muller light, some hot chicken from asda deli, skin taken off (ravenous after work and asda is next door to it), and then in the evening I wasn't hungry until really late so had another bacon sandwich with cheese (HEX A)! Not very healthy or balanced but it was a weird day...I am doing another red day today and having loads of veggies with my tea, and i'm not snacking or eating nearly as much as I do on green days. I have so much more variety to look forward to now I can eat eggs, milk, cheese, mullers, and meat and fish....it's given me a new burst of enthusiasm for the SW meals I can cook!
Does anyone else find they eat less on red days? Also, I had scrambled eggs on toast with smoked salmon for brekkie this morning and oh my god, how i've missed it, yum!
