Diet Day 13

BREAKFAST:
Yummy fabulous porridge!
How have I only ever found porridget in my 35th year???
 
LUNCH:
I forgot to bring some of my home-made soup into work today.  So I bought some avonmore low fat tomato soup...it is not as nice as my soup I tells ya! 
With it, I had two slices of turkey, coin size piece of chicken & sun dried tomatoes. 
Sorry I forgot to take a photograph of it.
 
EXERCISE:
Myself and a work colleage (one of the Personnel ladies!) went out for a lovely 30 minute walk.

DINNER:
Pulled pork left over from mam's dinner yesterday. 

I put the pork into a bowl of my soup and it was incredible.  I love the soup and I LOVE pork. 
 
EXERCISE:
I cleaned my bathroom after dinner. It was long overdue.
 
SNACK:
One square of 85% cocoa chocolate.  This photo really shows how dark it is.
I cannot describe how disgusting this "chocolate" tastes to me.

Diet Day 8



BREAKFAST:
Rather than just the same picture of a bowl of porridge everyday, I thought you might like to see where I get it from in work.  Check out those greasy hash browns, sausages & *rashers.  Luckily I never got into the habbit of eating fried stuff every morning.

*rashers are what Irish people call bacon!


LUNCH:


My DIVINE tomato soup, chicken, sundried tomato & boiled egg.
I didn't eat all of the egg, chicken & tomato...
DINNER:
I forgot to take a photo :-(
Another serving of my DIVINE soup.  Salmon - poached in the microwave with lemon and cajun herbs. It was not nice.  It had been in the freezer for too long.  So it was a bit tough and had a weird flavour.

Diet Day 5

Day 5! 
(Sunday)
 
I have found the weekend hard. 
I am looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow to 5 days of routine.
 
BREAKFAST:
Made today with half & half milk/water.  Might try it with even less milk next time.
 
DINNER:

No roast potatoes :-(
 
At least that was all on my plate until mam brought THIS out:

Turkey and stuffing divine!
 
SNACK:

I hope I can get through the evening without eating anything else today...

Detox Day 1

Well today is Day 1 of my New Year diet and I am feeling good! 
Of course I am, it's only day 1. 
Come back to me in a week and see how I am feeling!
 
For breakfast I had porridge in work.
 
LUNCH:
This is low fat Tomato & Basil soup - 50 calories per serving.  It was a small serving but a very nice thick soup.  I then had some chicken breast - 75 calories. 
So all in all, a 125 calorie which is ridiculously low. 
I don't think I will be able (or should) keep that up - I am sure it is not healthy.

DINNER:
Joking!!
 
I came home and looked in the fridge.  I swear for a second I completely forgot I was on a diet.  In my head I was like "yesssss, I'll have that".
 

And then I remembered I was on a diet so I had this instead :-(
Two poached eggs, one slice of toast, salt & big load of pepper.
 
I am going to bed now before I am tempted to eat more.
 
Tomorrow I am going to plan my exercise schedule.
