Friday but not the end of my week.

Slept in this morning. Good, because I really needed it. Bad, because it didn't leave me enough time to go exercise before work.

Coffee.

Since I was making brunch I tried my omelet with asparagus and emmental again. This time it came out much tidier.

It was really hot and muggy in our workroom. For my break I went over to that coffee place and got an Iced Americano (basically espresso over ice - I added a little cream and splenda). It was really yummy and had few calories and carbs compared to all those whipped drinks they make.

Lunch was the easy tin of smoked tuna slices with ginger, a whack of celery, radishes and jicama. That huge pile of veg had less than 60 calories and only 6 net g. of carbohydrates. Also my favorite cherry jell-o.
I was actually getting hungry again at break time so had the 35g of old cheddar left over from my early break.


Usually a problem - I get home from work at 9pm and my stomach and head both expect a meal. Today with so few calories earlier in the day I pretty much had carte blanche to snack on whatever I wanted. I started with 20g of pork rinds and some diet ginger-ale then made myself a flax bun. This is a recipe I'll have to talk more about soon, but not tonight, it's late and I have to get up for work in the morning.

Totals for today 1,358 calories and only 23g of carbohydrates although some of the soluble fibre in the flax should count - that's for another post.

It's a new fridge!

When we bought our home it came with a matching set of excellent appliances. The same appliances that were installed when the building was built. In 1977.

Yesterday we bought a nearly new refrigerator and it was delivered today. Right now it seems a bit empty.


Got up at a reasonable hour to prepare for fridge arrival, had coffee.



Several hours later after all the hullabaloo was over I had brunch of mushroom, green onion and the ubiquitous boursin in a three egg omelet/fritatta thing, with more coffee. Three eggs because there was no meat involved.



By three in the afternoon I was pretty hungry so I had 25g (about an ounce) of brazil nuts and some of Doug's diet pop.


Since Doug is working and I was on my own for dinner tonight I decided on a real treat. I sauted some asparagus (10 spears) then cooked up some shrimp and scallops (70g each before cooking) in a tablespoon of butter with a couple of cloves of garlic. Yum yum yum yum, yum!


In spite of the butter because I only had 2 meals today I'm at 1,261 calories and 29g net carbs for the day. (Who knew scallops had carbs??) So I might just have another little nibble when Doug gets home.
