I weighed myself this morning and, it is the second lowest weight that I have recorded for myself since forever. Approximately, about 4lbs loss which is not much at all but, the realisation that it has come from only a week of eating better, that’s quite astounding esp since I don’t consider myself a binge eater or an unhealthy eater.

DAY 1:

Breakfast: Tomato & Bacon Omelette (Est Calories: 350)

Snack: Handful of walnuts, almonds and peanuts (Est Calories: <100)

Lunch: Roasted Garlic Chicken with Romaine & light Ranch dressing (Est: 300)

Snack: Fruit Salad (Est. 200), Egg Tart (Est. 120)

Dinner: half a steamed fish, bowl of soup with carrots (Est. 200)

Status: Good, really healthy sans the egg tart which was a sweet (no pun intended) gift from LF but, pretty sure, I busted my caloric budget by 200 calories at least. Ah well, at least tomorrow’s breakfast will be healthier.

DAY 2:

Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs with 1 egg yolk (Est. 100)

Snack: a handful of nuts (peanut, almonds) (Est. <1oo)

Dinner: stir fried pork with capsicum , a smaller than palm sized beef/chicken hamburger patty (Est. 450)

Status: Reasonably happy with my food choices. Extremely proud I said no to corn muffins from Kenny Rogers. It was funny seeing E and J agreeing about how tasty the corn muffins REALLY are.  Next week’s food goal is to have a light dinner and possibly a heavier lunch but I really can’t imagine eating heavier than I already am for lunch.
