Too many treats!

Today started well enough even though I was still tired and sore from yesterday. Coffee, bacon and two fried eggs.Didn't go to physio-exercise for the first time since I started because I was, as previously stated, sore and tired. Instead I did all my stretches plus a few extra for good measure and all my mat/core exercises that I could do at home without equipment.
Before heading off to work I had a hard-boiled egg...
and the rest of the soup left-over from dinner last night. Also a slightly dried out bit of cheese that I had cut and not eaten and found floating around in the back of the fridge.
Dinner time at work was chicken salad (90g of chicken, 1 tbsp. mayo and a few capers) a bunch of radish, jicama and celery and a 1/2 cup container of raspberries with 15 ml of coffee cream on top.
I had brought the last four Reese's miniatures with me this afternoon. I had two of them after finishing my dinner.
When I finally got home from work, once again sore but not quite so tired today, I emptied my lunch bag so I could immediately start on tomorrow's lunch and found my cheese snack and the last two chocolates that I hadn't eaten - so I ate them as I do usually need a little something when I get off work.
Unfortunately I had forgotten that while picking up some sugar-free syrup at the Village Patisserie I had bought a strawberry-rhubarb scone. I was determined to have at least a bit of it before it went stale so I cut off about a third (78g worth) and had it with a little butter.
Had I remembered the scone I would have avoided the last two chocolates, however that's not what happened so for today the totals are 1,571 calories and a massive 88g of carbohydrates. Tomorrow evening we're going out for dinner so I guess I'll have to take it easy during the day and perhaps for a couple of days afterward.

Back under control.

My Brazil Bodum coffee maker ready to pour. I'm still drinking the Caddysaurus blend from Pepper's market almost every day.Boring old bacon and eggs. Tasty though.
Went to physio/exercise and felt much better today. Home just in time to freshen up and eat a big bowl of my homemade chicken soup and a little bowl (120g) of cottage cheese before heading out to work
Note to self - don't take pictures of cottage cheese (or yogourt) in a white bowl with a flash.For my coffee break (singular - only working four hours today) I have 60g of soft cheeses and 60g of cantaloupe melon.
Dinner is a great big bowl of romaine lettuce (137g) with a small grilled chicken breast (87g) some caesar dressing and a light shredding of stinky hard cheese.
With only 300 calories for dinner I knew I would have to have something more before bed. Sugar-free ginger-ale and a 40g of pork rinds. They always really fill me up but have to be eaten with pop - they're quite awful with water.
Today's total: 1,452 calories. Yay me!

day four

Had a rough night, woke up late and felt like I might be coming down with something.
Breakfast was a cup of coffee, a hard boiled egg and a bowl of flax cereal.
Did some of the grocery shopping without actually making a meal plan past Sunday. Thinking of taking a nap but made up some soup (chicken stock, handful of penne, some mushrooms and poured it over a bowl of spinach). Tasty but wanting more so had a chunk of cheese, about 35g and the half avocado left over from yesterday's lunch.


Managed physio but still feel a bit under the weather. Had a diet pop while preparing dinner. Made a stir-fry with 140g marinated beef, baby bokchoi, carrot, jicama, celery, mushroom, bean sprouts, a green onion, ginger, garlic and soy sauce. Fitday adds it up as about 600 calories, 16 net grams of carb and 46 grams of protein.




I think I'm going to have a cup of coffee (maybe half-caf) since I only had the one mug this morning and I'm feeling headachy.
