I can't believe I forgot my camera!!!

So I was playing World of Warcraft this morning and before I knew it, it was time to leave for Scooter Meet. I arrived at the Black Stilt starving and coffee-deprived only to search in my satchel and not find my camera! I was appalled! Luckily Carol had her camera inna phone with her and was able to take this picture and send it to me.

I had a large americano and 1/2 a chicken pesto pannini sandwich (or is that redundant?).

We rode out to Mattick's Farm to do a little market shopping and stopped for a nosh. Rob found his favorite Chocolate and peanut butter ice cream. I vaguely remember that being one of my favorite flavours too back in the day. I had three bites and did a little dance of enjoyment - much to Jim's amusement.
Afterwards Rob said something about berry picking and when queried, claimed that his home was surrounded by blackberry bushes. I followed him home, borrowed a coffee can and managed to nearly fill it with almost a kilo of berries! I was good and didn't snack while I was picking (although I did have to lick my fingers a few times) but as soon as I got home I had a big bowl of berries with a little cream and splenda. On the left is Debra's birthday present to me that she brought today - a cruet or similar that's been flattened in a kiln, mounted to hang on a wall with a few sprigs of lavender tucked in.
Now you think with the crisis of forgetting my camera this morning I would be extra careful - but as it turns out I carefully weighed my dinner and set the plate and bowl on the counter but didn't take the actual picture. I had a side salad and 100g of roast chicken breast with the skin on which is almost exactly what I had the day (weeks ago) when I took this picture.
Since dinner was a little on the light side I felt justified in having a snack of the extremely fatty, extremely decadent treats I picked up a day or two ago at Choux Choux the French delicatessen. The yellow cheese is actually Manchego a Spanish sheep's milk cheese. The nobby white one is Paillot de Chevre from Quebec a lovely semi-soft goat cheese. The paté is - get this Paté de foie gras with specks of black truffle. Needless to say it is very, very good.

Must have more veg...

Coffee.Half a cup of yogourt with blueberries and strawberries.
Two slices of the dry cured ham, two slices of dijon turkey, a selection of fine cheeses (85g total), radishes and celery.
And still more veg for dinner. Chef Salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, mushrooms, a slice each of pastrami, roast beef and that turkey from lunch, about 25g of shredded cheese, one hard-boiled egg and ranch dressing on top.
My new favorite - the Lucerne dessert bar.
Counted twice in case I forgot something, but only 1,174 calories today and 47g of carbohydrates.

2 ice cream treats and still low-cal?

Normal breakfast. That's one funny shaped strip of bacon smothered under two fried eggs and there's my coffee.
After going to physio and having a really good work-out we had lunch of the Flat-Out multigrain wraps with 60g of deli turkey, cucumber, tomato, lettuce and 20g of cheese - also a tablespoon of mayo. Very tasty.
Doug and I headed downtown to get our driving licenses renewed. The ICBC lady said "your information says you are 5 foot 7 and 250 pounds - should we change that?" I guess they have to be very discrete but it was obvious from my picture I'd lost a lot and my response was "Hell, yeah! Put me down for 89 kilos" That's actually just a couple of pounds lighter than I weighed in this morning, but I figure by my birthday when the new license comes into effect I should be pretty much there.
Feeling quite pleased with myself as we wandered around downtown I decided a taste of ice cream was necessary. I asked for a small of tiramisu flavour, stopped the lady when she reached back in for a little more and then only ate about 2/3 of what you see in the little dish. I figured about 60g eaten, although I think I'm rounding up.
After some more wandering and shopping we came home and turned on the new barbecue again. While things were cooking we started with our usual salad.
I had put a filleted side of salmon on and the thickest parts were taking a bit longer than anticipated. Doug got a piece but I started on the veg. while mine cooked a little more. Lovely grilled zucchini and a small portabello mushroom cap.
Finally my salmon! A drizzle of teriyaki sauce left over from our chicken satay night on Friday and another piece of zucchini. It was delish.
Some time later I decided a little more was in order and had I thought of my ice cream earlier in the day I probably would have chosen a bit of fruit or something else - but I didn't so here's a 70 calorie, no sugar added, fat free fudge pop. And my hydrangeas which are kind of sad this year.
In spite of a really yummy day the numbers from fitday come out at 1,293 calories and 64g of carbohydrates.

I scream, you scream - yes there's ice cream!

Breakfast same as yesterday, 2 sausage, 2 eggs and coffee.Didn't manage to get my thermos together this morning so bought an americano from the patisserie.
Lunch was the usual assortment of celery, radish and jicama and a tiny little tin of Ocean's snack'n'lunch - it's really tasty salmon in sesame oil but so little that it really doesn't anchor a lunch. Since I knew that would be the case I also packed a big chunk of my Bresse Bleu (60g) and 100g of strawberries. They were fabulous!
Dinner was not particularly well planned because guess what... Salmon! (137g) and a few mushrooms and side salad.
While in the patisserie today waiting for my coffee I noticed a sale on their single servings of "The Udder Guy's" locally made ice cream. I got the mandarin orange with chocolate flakes for Doug and their Vanilla maltitol for myself. It was very creamy and had little flecks of real vanilla in. Yum.
Totals for today (based on the ice cream being premium and not sugar-free) 1,499 calories and 60g of carbohydrates.
