I weighed myself in the morning as I felt I’d over-indulged this week and wanted to know if I should cut right back today. Scales showed 2 lb lost. Lets see what they say in two days!

10:15am  Toast with soft cheese and jam + mandarin + tea

1 serving calories protein carbs fat fibre
reduced-sugar cherries & berries jam 13 0.0 3.2 0.0 0.0

Afternoon drink: fresh coffee (or did I? I can’t remember!)

2pm  Tangy chickpeas + beetroot and mozzarella salad + half pint of fizzy squash

Becky & Lucy came over to play. We added ribbon and cloth flowers to hair barrette clips – Lucy made some lovely framed pictures.

I forgot to photograph lunch. I made two poppadoms to show Becky how to make them over an open flame. We had one each with dips I made from yoghurt – one with mint sauce and the other with horseradish sauce.

We then had tangy chickpeas cooked in balsamic vinegar and my beetroot and mozzarella salad. We later had some popcorn as I thought Lucy would enjoy seeing it made in our eight-quid machine from Tchibo.

I knew at the start of the day I was going to have an omelette, so I kept breakfast light. I met a friend after work in Starbucks at Kew Station and being incredibly abstemious, had a cup of tea. They kicked us out at 7pm so we repaired to the pub where I had a diet coke. I took the tube back to Richmond and dropped into Waitrose for some groceries. It was almost 9pm — I nabbed their last portion of rotisserie chicken and bought some veggies, but by the time I got home, I couldn’t be bothered with the veg, so just had the chicken. As it happens, I’m almost spot on my limit. :-)

Breakfast Yoghurt 75
Lunch 2 egg + cheese omelette 450
Side salad 80
Roast breast of chicken (no skin) 342
Snacks Apple 53
30g honey roast cashews 177

I felt bloated today and so I didn’t have much lunch. As a result, I treated myself to a high-calorie dinner and was pleasantly surprised to realise it wasn’t as bad as i thought it was. The pesto is home-made and I drained off excess oil after I made it so hopefully my calorie count is about right – oil is the most calorific of the ingredients so I treated it as if it were purely oil. My soup is nice. I think spicy stuff slows down the rate at which I eat.

I didn’t do any exercise yesterday which was naughty. Will do something this weekend to make up for it.
