resisted the call of the muffin!

Coffee, one egg and one strip of bacon for breakfast.
Lunch was 55g of salami and 60g of cheese, jicama, radish and celery.

Had 1/2 cup yogourt for my afternoon break but somehow didn't take a picture!

For dinner we had pork chops (110g) and some grilled zucchini (120g) and a side salad.

Needed a little something more later on so had 30g of mixed nuts and a regular (as opposed to my usually huge) mug of de-caf.

Total calories for today 1,609 and 46g of carbs.

Back at work and already tired...

Coffee, bacon (1) and eggs (2) for breakfast.



Coffee break.


Tuna salad, jicama, celery, radish and yogourt.


The dregs of the tepid coffee and a 25g chunk of flavoured feta cheese.


Doug made pork chops (100g) for dinner. I had mine with brussel sprouts and a side salad. Another jell-o nsa chocolate pudding for dessert.


Just a couple of hours later I felt really peckish - made a big mug of de-caf. Still wanted more sweet so had three nsa werther's hard caramel candies.


Even that wasn't enough and in the end I share a bag of caramel power pop with Doug.


Total calories about 1,680 and 59g of carbohydrates.

Still at work, still eating well...

Normal breakfast of one slice bacon, two eggs and coffee. At some point over the last six months I downsized my eggs from the huge "jumbo" size that I used to buy at the butcher's through extra-large and large and now buy medium size free-range eggs at Safeway.Did bring my own coffee today so when to that shop.
Tuna salad with jicama, radishes and celery. Today I did eat the 1/2 cup yogourt that I had originally brought yesterday.
Dinner was a pork chop, grilled (180g) and a big salad with a creamy dill dressing.
Not many calories left today so I had the last slice of cantaloupe for dessert.
Later on when I really wanted a snack I had a regular-sized cup of decaf (as opposed to my normal huge mug).

Barely under 1,500 with 1,486 calories today and 36g of carbohydrates.

Labour day picnic with the labour unions.

Had another night of interrupted sleep. When I did get back to sleep I slept in till about 10am.
Coffee.1/2 a large peach with 1/2 cup plain yogourt.
At the Labour Union picnic - I had a small black coffee and one bite of Doug's hot dog.
When we got home I was rummaging around in the fridge and found the left-over salsa from the party Saturday. I had it with a serving of the El Molino Fibre Select chips which, while fairly calorie-ridden are quite low in carbs. (50g chips = 260 calories, 28g carbs with 10g fibre and 7g of protein). I just found them one day at Safeway.
Pork chop done on the counter top grill (as was the zucchini) and a side salad.
Skinny Cow brand fudge bar.
Tea and four tiny Joseph's sugar-free cookies.
Finally some strawberries that we picked from our plants this afternoon that were just sitting on the counter - not really enough to do anything with - so I just ate them up.
According to fitday 1,410 calories and a whopping 91g of carbohydrates. Although that number includes the sugar alcohols in the fudge bar and cookies which may or may not affect my blood sugar.

tired and lazy, or just lazy... here's Wednesday's eats

Breakfast was coffee, half a cup of yogourt and just over half a cup of rhubarb.Coffee break.
One of those little cans of smoked tuna slices with ginger, a baby cucumber, radishes, no-sugar-added jell-o pudding and celery.
Afternoon break. Diet ginger-ale, 30g almonds and a hard-boiled egg.
Dinner was a rather large pork chop (190g), some sauted zucchini and a side salad.
More rhubarb for dessert.
Wanting a little something later on I found I still have dark chocolate covered ginger in the freezer - one piece.
Totals for Wednesday: 1,350 calories and 45g of carbohydrates.

Tired, so very tired...

Up way to early again. Coffee.Not particularly hungry and trying to get back to normal intakes so started with a double scoop of protein drink with a few raspberries.
Coffee break.
Lunch is tuna salad with the usual jicama, celery and radishes.
Dinner was a big pork chop (202g including bone) with a big spoonful of applesauce, some lovely fresh string beans and our usual side salad.
