Saturday - tired but not too tired to party!

Not interested in making breakfast or lunch this morning. Just coffee.


Picked up a blueberry bran muffin and a coffee (also a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dinner).



Grabbed a bbq chicken breast from the deli at the supermarket. Picked at it a bit before I remembered to take a picture.


"Cheeseburgers" and a salad for dinner.


Shortly before 8pm four of our friends turned up for the first of what I'm sure will be frequent karaoke parties with our new SingStar game for the PS2. For snackies we had hi-fibre taco chips with Santos salsa, Kama's spiced nuts, Carol's artichoke dip with fresh veggies. There was also some chex mix but I didn't have any of that.


For social lubrication and singing enhancement we had Andrew's famous Peach Martinis. I think I had four. So really - way too many calories and carbs. I did however, sing my little heart out and do rather a lot of dancing too.

It was a good party - and the uncontrolled laughing and having of unbridled fun was certainly worth the excesses. Instead of worrying about work and diets and stuff I have an unending medley of 80's tunes running through my head. Big improvement.

Damn cookies! Never again!

Coffee.Coffee and a cookie. For breakfast? Poor choice but it's the one I made.

After the coffee and cookie I went to my workout and did very well. Then I ran some errands and came home. I didn't actually have a huge urge to eat but my stomach was complaining so I had three paper thin slices of dried ham, 30g of cheese and more of the jicama/fennel slaw.
Dinner was from the barbecue. One beef patty (150g), two slices of tomato, two paper thin slices of red onion and 20g of cheese. Also a dollop of dijon-style mustard.
And another cookie. I guess I can't make these anymore unless I give them all away on the day I make them. On the other hand I am now able to eat just one which is a huge improvement.
In spite of it being a high carb cookie-full day I really didn't eat much and when all is said and done fitday says 1,255 calories (although it's probably safe to add another 100 since I'm thinking my cookies are more chock-full of calories that average). And a whopping 87g of carbs.

Not quite the weekend yet.

Had a bit of a restless sleep. Very tired this morning. Coffee, bacon and two eggs.Coffee at coffee break time. (And glad of it!)

Now, from the picture you might think the little plastic container has tuna salad in it - but this is not the case. This is the last of the slow-cooker pork roast - there's a couple of chunks underneath but I scooped all the little shreds off the plate and stuffed them in on top. (141g) also jicama 100g, celery 120g, and radishes 50g.
Dinner was two little hamburger patties (90g each before cooking) with a slice of cheese on top (20g total) and a side salad. Also a healthy squirt of dijon style mustard.
And finally a no-sugar-added fudgesicle. They really do taste very much like the real thing.
Total calories for today 1,417 and just 39g of carbohydrates.

It's late so I'll be quick

Breakfast of coffee, 1/2 cup of plain yogourt with a little Torani sugar-free syrup and a few raspberries.Coffee at the Black Stilt with the Scooter Gang.

Realized about 12:15 that my 7am yogourt was long gone and if I was going anywhere on my scoot I needed some nourishment. I had the 1/2 Chicken Pesto Panini. Delish and cheap and I didn't even finish the last three bites.
There was a little coffee left in the pot when I got home so I poured it over ice and added a little cream and sweetener, yum.
Dinner was cheeseburgers (175g of lean ground beef and 60g of cheese) and a side salad.
Some time later I couldn't resist the strawberries and Bresse bleu in the fridge. Probably should have tried harder. Not a bad day in all.
Totals for today 1,568 calories and 66g of carbohydrates. Mostly because of the sandwich - but I have probably given it many more calories that it actually had. I hope.
