Ended up looking at my totals tonight thinking, “So really, what do I want. Cottage cheese or wine?” I decided on wine but I think this was probably working better when I was being alcohol free. Also after the wine, I briefly considered having the cottage cheese anyway (I didn’t).

Day 166: Media Futures 2008

21 June 2008 at 11:53 am (food diary, photo)

Posted by Paola

Frank and I spent the day at the Media Futures 2008 conference at Alexandra Palace. We got up at 5:30am to get a 6:43am train and got back home after 11pm.

Pedometer: 9,700 steps (3.5 miles)

I prepared the ingredients the night before to make two sandwiches in the morning: one for breakfast and one in case the lunch provided was too calorific.

6:50am  Chicken salad sandwich

Eaten on the train.

1 serving calories protein carbs fat fibre
hamisha cucumber 5 0.3 0.7 0.1 0.3
lettuce 9 0.5 1.4 0.0 0.9
horseradish sauce 18 0.2 2.0 1.0 0.4
Quorn chicken-style slices 34 5.2 1.4 0.8 1.9
high-fibre wholemeal bread 140 6.6 25.1 1.5 4.0
Total 207 13 31 3 7

Bottled water, tea, coffee, fruit juice, croissant and muffins were available all day. Although I would have liked a muffin, it actually wasn’t a big deal to not have one, which I am glad about. I had two bottles of water during the day.

10:30am  Banana + tea

2:10pm  Chicken salad sandwich + crisps + orange

The vegetarian ‘brown bag’ lunch was a cheddar cheese salad sandwich (492 calories!) with a bag of crisps (potato chips), a muffin and a piece of fruit. I returned the muffin and sandwich and swapped my apple with Frank’s orange. I took half the crisps and gave the rest to Gordo.

chicken salad sandwich 207 12.8 30.7 3.4 7.5
Total 360 15 55 9 9

8:10pm  Mozzarella sandwich + potato wedges + diet Coke

We left around 9pm. I was hungry on the way home and we popped into M&S at Richmond Station around 10:30pm. I found a 80-calorie bag of grapes but put them back as I wasn’t actually hungry anymore. Previously I’d have been on auto-pilot and bought and eaten them anyway.

I’ve estimated 700 calories for dinner.

Last Low Cal Day (probably)

21 June 2008 at 2:17 am (food diary)

Posted by Jennifer

Lest you think he’s perfect, tonight… after my 3+ mile walk, my husband told me that I smelled bad. Not, “oh, I’m so proud of you…” or “great job, honey…” no, I get, and I quote, “you stink.” Oh, and tomorrow’s our anniversary too.

*shakes head*

That said, I’ll probably stray from my low cal streak tomorrow as I imagine we will go out to dinner… besides, I think I’m ready to bump my calories up a notch. The really good thing about staying so low this week is that I won’t feel guilty at all if I go over 1300 tomorrow. If finding happiness in life truly is about achieving balance, then I’m happy to let my calories even out in that way. Either way, I’m going to try very hard to let my tummy be my guide and a) only eat when I’m hungry *and* (this is the really tough part for me) b) stop when I’m full. Wish me luck. :)
