D: Supermarket curry, white rice, salad (and add a onion bhaji and veg samosa to the mix) after dinner I had 2 helpings of lemon meringue! One helping being just one photo!!

I would have had squirty cream with the meringue if the nozzle tip hadn't turned blue! *Tut tut...* bad day for self control

how are you finding eating healthily hun?
food is always interesting! xxx

 

[Triplestep720]

I find it easy to eat healthier if I have planned meal ahead. What I have been eating so far isn't that far off with what I was eating before, but I'm definitely being more conscious of portion size and taking photos of the food has helped! more than a few times I had dished up my plate and ready to take a photo when I though My God! that's a lot of food and then taken food off my plate!

Today's dinner was unplanned, so I made a lazy decision to have fish and chips. I didn't really enjoy it. I think the chip shop's oil wasn't that fresh, I have an after taste in my mouth now. I should have waited until Friday... Friday my guess is they would have used new oil- ready for the weekend.

Yesterday's breakfast photo didn't load up. Trying again.

Thursday 7th Feb
B: 2 Crumpets, one with cheese, other with jam, Breakfast tea with milk
L: Homemade Cheese, ham & cucumber sandwich, 1 Grapefruit, 1 Clementine
D: Spiced lamb chops, rice, salad with olive oil
S: Jam doughnut, Tea with milk, Holy Basil tea.

My line manager brought in some nibbles today to celebrate her 50th birthday tomorrow. She brought in 12 Chocolate doughnuts, 2 large Battenburg Cakes, 1 tin of Quality Street, 12 assorted cupcakes and a large platter of grapes and Clementines (maybe about 8 people would have gone up for first lunch) When I went into the staff room at 1pm for my lunch, there were 2 small pieces of Battenburg, 1 Chocolate doughnut, strawberry and orange cremes(from quality Street box) 2 single grapes and 1 clementine left. My line manager was shocked it all went so quick- especially when another 8 people were to come up! I managed to nab the healthy option - the last clementine

When I returned home there was a jam doughnut waiting for me... hubby had gone into Greggs... so much for going for a healthier option at work, I ate the jam doughnut :sigh:

 

[juicygooseface]

I've decided i'm not going to weigh myself tomorrow as it's Chinese New Year tomorrow and the next 72hrs I am going to eat badly. I'll weigh myself next week and see what the damage is. Already started badly with a cafe breakfast.

[Triplestep720]

In the late 70's - not as you young as you I'm afraid

Monday 11 Feb
B: Homemade pancakes (smaller and thinner than shop brought scotch pancakes, I had 4) topped with blueberries and yogurt, Coffee with milk
L: Homemade ham, brie salad sandwich. Walker crisps, an apple and a clementine
D: Chicken & pineapple stir fry, bowl of rice, jasmine tea.
S: Peppermint tea, shared 'small' sized popcorn at cinema (asked for small size, but it was quite a large amount) 1 homemade almond biscuit.

I think if I didn't have the popcorn it would have been a good day of eating.

 

[Triplestep720]

Looked up online, if you were born before 5th Feb 1989 you'd be year of the dragon. The 6th and after you'd be a snake sign. I'm a rabbit.

 

[juicygooseface]
