Good morning Mr Scale

As previously posted I did have a regular-sized mug of decaf Tuesday evening. Not too many calories there.So this morning I finally had the nerve to get weighed after the Mojito and beer-soaked Rally weekend. I was hoping, since I've had very little the past two days, that I was either back down to the point I was at when I left or at least just slightly up. I'm please to report that I'm down albeit just half a pound from where I was six days ago. I also still feeling more energetic since coming home and am thinking about going to the scooter meet tonight in spite of doing physio this morning and working to six this evening. Wish me luck

Seven weeks and four kilos!

Now I know that I'm not supposed to be a slave to the scale. I know it's more important that I feel good and that my clothes are getting looser but every now and then I cave and weigh myself just to see empirically the progress I already know I've made.

Today - a day short of the seven week anniversary of this blog I'm down 4kg (about 9 pounds) from the weight I was just before I began taking pictures of food willy nilly. Actually, over-all I'm down down almost 7 kilos from the point four weeks earlier when I started recording what I was eating in my FitDay programme but I've done that before and frequently stop using it when I have to eat out or have something for which I don't know the nutrition values. I'm hoping that I can keep this up for as long as necessary. Now all I need is one of those new-fangled cellular telephones with a camera built in that will fit in my pocket so I don't need to haul my half-pound (plus extra batteries) Canon A430 all the time.

end of my long weekend

Up early to head out to the cycle shop coffee and pbj since I don't have time to make eggs.
Mom looked after me while I waited for my wee bike. We had a couple of mugs of green tea.
Home again I was quite hungry and had no idea what to make for lunch so I snacked on 50g of mixed nuts and a big cup of diet ginger-ale.
Gave up on the thinking and made the bacon and eggs I didn't get for breakfast.
Another 30g of mixed nuts on my new toy - the nutritional scale. Not only does it weigh things much more accurately than the old one but it had codes for types of food so in theory I can weigh a serving of whole food (ie not mixed nuts) and it will tell me how many carbs, calories, fibre etc. etc. It's pretty cool.

Tonight we had a fish course before the meat. These little sole filets stuffed with salmon called to me from the fish case yesterday in the supermarket. We each had one and a half pieces, my portion weighed in at 100g of fishy goodness.
Dinner was leftover pork roast from yesterday. I sauted some cauliflower (100g) and heated up 150g of the pork. When putting together the plate I forgot we'd already had a course and discovered myself full in time to leave a little (45g) of the meat.



Several hours later I needed a little something (I've got to stop watching Iron Chef in the evenings it really sets me off!) so I had a pot of tea and half of an Atkins bar.


A little high today, 1,747 calories and 44g net carbs.
