I had two pieces of toasted ciabatta with FF cheddar for elevenses
broke down and had 2 x bean burritos for lunch.
It's 4.15pm, is it bad to have already had 2 x red wine?  After all this is my day off and I have managed to do the laundry, make the beds and re-organize the freeezer, I think I bloody deserve them, ta dah, going to WALK up to the library to return some books, how about that!

Finished the night with two pieces of toast and some laughing cow!  One more cuppa before bed I think.  TTFN

Thursday

Started with special K and fat free greek yog.
So far so good....
have got light veg orzo soup in a flask for lunch...had a small slimfast mint choc snack with a cuppa at 11am then as promised had a small bowl of soup.  Not bad.
Having a really pissy day so I'm hoping not to break out the chips or chocs later.
No plans for dinner yet but I expect there's a glass of red in my future.
Quite sensible dinner maybe the penny is starting to drop, made small amount of penne pasta, spinach and ricotta going to add a can of tuna (in water)
still that gives me room for the red I've just opened!
One of the worse days at work for a very long time, still managed to stay out of the cookie jar!

So much for good intentions,

all fell apart afterwards, had to pick up a Panera Sandwich 770 calories.  Why is it that a whole sandwich is 770 but a half sandwich is 520?
