Much better today, thank you...

Up early, perhaps too early. Had 1/2 cup plain yogourt with 50g of raspberries and coffee.
Before leaving for physio decided more protein was needed so 1 fried egg.
After physio and a successful hair appointment I joined Doug at home and we had chicken wraps. Mine had 85g of chicken, 20g cucumber, 30g tomatoes and about a tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Mid-afternoon I realized I was actually quite hungry. I had 35g of my favorite blue cheese and 60g of blueberries.
Waited half an hour but I was still hungry so had some diet pop and 30g of almonds.
Felt a bit of a headache all afternoon but only realized near dinner time that I was short a big serving of coffee for the day.
Not much in the house for a change. Made to with an omelet. 3 eggs, 4 large mushrooms, 3 slices of bacon and 20g of edam cheese. Full now.
1,386 calories and 39g of carbohydrates for the day.

What a horrible day

Weather has cooled off a bit so back to normal breakfast of 1 slice bacon, 2 eggs and coffee.Coffee break.

Lunch was the other half of the roast beef wrap that I didn't finish yesterday. Lots more veg., celery, radish and mushrooms and about 40g of raspberries for dessert.
Work was dreadful. My new game keeps crashing my computer. I feel slightly ill and the apartment was still very hot in spite of the weather cooling down. For dinner I had a cold pork chop and dipped it in a couple of tablespoons of applesauce.
Eventually I wanted something more - specifically some of the Bresse bleu cheese. No strawberries in the house so I had some with 50g of blueberries. Okay but not the as good.
Still feeling really down in the dumps I found my afternoon snack all warm and oily. Since I had already added the 35g of cheddar into Fitday as eaten earlier I ate it right up.
I resisted quite awhile on this one. A Purdy's nsa Hedgehog Doug bought it last night. I took it to work today and still didn't eat it. However, I gave in and finally ate it tonight and I have to confess it was only because I was feeling sorry for myself. I wasn't really hungry. I did manage to eat it slowly and really enjoy it though.
Totals for today 1,427 calories and 39g of carbs.

We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave...

...right here in our apartment where it is currently 30 degrees c (the 86 in farenheits). It was pretty warm all day so I started with yogourt and berries instead of my usual cooked breakfast. 1/2 cup of yogourt and 60g each of raspberries and blueberries. Couldn't skip coffee though.
Coffee break. Which I take literally.
Checked my email during the early part of my lunch so ate my celery and radish in front of the computer.
Had a wrap of roast beef 70g, edam cheese 30g and 20g each of tomato, cucumber and lettuce. Also 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Leslie was have some ice cream in a little cup that she bought at the Patisserie. It's made in Cowichan Bay and I was actually in their Ice Cream Parlour on the way home from the Salt Spring Scooter Rally. This flavour is " Orange, Mandarin & Chocolate - Tiny pieces of mandarin orange sections are added along with pure chocolate shavings". It looked really good so I had one spoonful. I think at some point I will get one of these for Doug and I to share!
Still really, really hot at home so just a salad with some cold chicken and a couple of croutons for interest. Also some caesar dressing.
We couldn't take it any more so we went to a mall to enjoy the air conditioning. I had an iced coffee and Doug had an Orange Julius.
When the mall closed we had to go back to the hot apartment. We each had a sugar-free, fat-free fudge bar to try and make it better. A cool shower would have been a better choice.
Totals for the day 1,417 calories and 63 carbohydrates. High carbs. because of the wrap and just generally eating more fruit and veg. and less meat because it's so darn hot!

Rotten day at work means extra chocolate!

Bacon and 2 eggs, coffee.More coffee on my coffee break, also some water because it's so darn hot out today.
Chicken salad with capers (I keep forgetting to put on a nice sprinkle of that yummy paprika) mushrooms, radishes, jicama and celery.
After lunch two of the Reese's no sugar added, peanut butter cup miniatures.
Rest of the coffee later on.
Dinner was two hamburger patties (140g) with edam cheese (30g) and tomato slices. Also a side salad.
Somewhat later a no sugar added, fat free fudgesicle, only 45 calories!
Totals for today 1,401 calories and 48g of carbohydrates although much of that is the sugar alcohols in the chocolates.

where's the food?

I had a busy day today with lots of laundry, physio and doctor's appointments and general houseworkey stuff. Started off normally with coffee, bacon and 2 eggs.

Went to see my GP for my annual physical. He had weighed me around the beginning of March when I started going to physio and watching what I ate. My weight today was 19 pounds less over that 4 month period. He was delighted and I was so excited I forgot to tell him about my not sleeping well. Then I went to physio and on to the Safeway's for some groceries. When I got home it was two hours to dinner but since I was famished I had 100g of raspberries and 1/2 cup of yogourt.Dinner was roast chicken breast 141g, broccoli 35g, a side salad and some diet cola.
These were on sale at the Safeway and considering it was about 28C in our apartment this afternoon I thought an appropriate treat.
Calories for today only 923. Carbs. 39g, but with such a low calorie count it doesn't really matter, does it?

another strange day

Up before dawn again but managed to get back to sleep for a couple extra hours. Got up and had 100g of raspberries with 3 tbsp cream.Thought I'd need more so had one fried egg before leaving for scooter meet-up.
Dick "El Presidente" from Salt Spring was over and treated everyone to coffees.
When I got home I had two slices of corned beef and 30g of cheese that had been left-over from yesterday's lunch.
I worked out on the deck for awhile and managed to get a little heat stroke. Had two large glasses of water with lime, splenda and salt to re-hydrate.
Doug was going over to Shopper's Drug Mart so I took advantage of my weakened state and asked him to bring me back a treat. I had 5 (one serving) of the Reese miniature peanut butter cups. They taste just like the real thing, in fact I found them a bit too sweet.
For dinner we had lamb chops, Doug had new potatoes and peas, I had broccoli and 30g of the new potatoes. Also a little mint sauce and a side salad.
Totals for today 1,366 calories and 56g of carbohydrates.
