Sunday

3 cups of tea, did I mention that I gave up milk in it about a year ago, what an epiphany.  Now I can leave cups around and drink them even when tea's gone cold (never had sugar in it)
Granola and FF milk.
2 Lindor dark choc (they were given to me)
went to IKEA and had salmon, veggies and their weirdy bubble & squeaky things

Still thinking about what to eat, had a cuppa already though
mini shredded wheats with FF greek yog
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!

Wednesday

2 toasted ciabatta (with slice of mild cheddar)
3 x tea (black)

intend to have homemade/homegrown squash soup for lunch (we'll see)
So much for good intentions,
had 2 x slices cheese on toast (hey it was whole wheat)

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?
The Josh's Mum made a rum, nut cake, but I only had a sliver!
