too busy shopping to eat

Slept in a bit because I woke up during the night. Wanted to go to physio/exercise early so I just had a glass of whey protein drink and my coffee before leaving. I had purchased the vanilla flavoured protein powder because I had some low-carb recipes that called for it as an ingredient but hadn't used it yet. As it turns out this brand and this flavour is really very yummy as a drink.
After exercising I came home and found that Doug was almost ready to leave to go downtown on an errand. I basically hijacked him and while he did get his 15 minute errand done, he ended up clothing shopping with me for about two hours. The good news is that I found a pair of pants size 16 that fit perfectly. Size 16! And I got a new bra that fits much better. While trying on the bras I suddenly felt a little light headed and realized that it was 2:30 and I had only had about 200 calories for breakfast. We headed up to the food court and found a Chinese fast food place with "Bourbon Chicken" which was basically barbecue and some chicken and mixed veg in black bean sauce. I input my best guess into fitday and came up with about 400 calories and 8-10g of carbs.
Dinner was late since lunch had been. Because we were out most of the afternoon we found ourselves at loose ends again for meal planning. We used the Clover Leaf Tuna Steaks and some lovely portabello mushrooms I found on sale yesterday. Sauted the mushrooms, heated the mild curry flavour tuna and poured it on top of a couple of cups of romaine.
Adding thing into fitday I find I'm at less than 800 calories for the day so I decide that I may as well enjoy the last 100g of the rhubarb crisp that I had planned to leave for Doug. With a couple of tablespoons of cream my total calorie count for today is still only 1,076 calories and less than 30g net carbohydrates.
I'll probably allow myself to enjoy a mug of decaf later this evening. Especially since when I got weighed this morning I was somehow down 2 pounds from a couple of days ago - in spite of yesterday's beer etc. Go fig.

Garden party?

Up early and had a big mug of coffee before heading out to do groceries.After groceries and before scooter meet-up I made an omelet for us both. White and portabello mushrooms, a little sour cream and a tiny bit of shredded cheese left over from last night. Two eggs each.
Large two-shot americano at the Black Stilt. Yes, the purse is actually very small.
Since the weather forecast hadn't been too good for scooting and since I'd been talking about it for weeks, I got Rob (with car) to help me carry home a couple of half barrels from the garden centre for the shrubs on my deck. They are actual, previously used for wine, wine barrels. The car smelled a little like the bus bin in a bar at closing. We drove home with the windows down all the way. After lugging two 1/2 barrels a dozen little plants and 3, 40l bags of soil upstairs and down the long hall we sat down and had a well-deserved beer.
Then after planting a little herb garden in a window box for Kama, Rob's financee, and transplanting my hydrangea Betty, we had another.
Dinner was roast chicken (150g), broccoli with a pat of butter and a side salad.
I made a tiny amount of gravy in case the chicken was dry but I think I was the only one to have some - here's half-eaten dinner with gravy - maybe 20ml total.
I made some dessert - rhubarb crisp. We ate it hot out of the oven with a little coffee cream. I input it into fitday and it came up with 278 calories and 53 carbohydrates for this serving had it been made with sugar. I used splenda to sweeten both the rhubarb and the crisp topping but did use a little whole wheat flour and rolled oats along with almond flour for the topping. The calories are probably pretty close but not the carb count.
Then we had coffee because it was good.
Totals including beers and crisp 1,506 calories and 103 carbohydrates (although given the artificial sweetener in dessert it's probably more like 60-65 carbohydrates for the day and much of that from the beer - ouch!).
