Day 16 & 17

Time of month, grump grump grump. Don't wanna eat good things.

Day 15 of the holiday diet

Breakfast: bacon sarnie made with small sliced brown bread.

Dinner: beans on brown toast.

Tea: lightly dusted bassa with 100g of good for you oven chips (no, I don't think that they really are good for you) and mushy peas (pump alert).
Snacked on some gherkins, it was Friday so I had a bottle of white wine.......... Followed by a trifle *whoopsy*

Day 14 of the holiday diet!

Breakfast: scrambled eggs (2 eggs and a dash of skimmed milk) on 1 piece of brown toast (no butter).
Coffee w skimmed milk.

I downloaded a calorie app and discovered that my coffee with skimmed milk is only 13 calories compared to 30 with semi skimmed! I probably have 4-5 cups of tea/coffee a day so I'm cutting down approx 85 calories a day on hot drinks alone.
I would also usually have olive spread on my toast (I don't like butter), which can be up to 50 calories, it seems that the small changes really do make a difference.

Dinner: mackerel pate on 2 bits of toast. To make the pate, put a tin of mackerel in a bowl with a tablespoon of low fat cream cheese, half a tea spoon of mustard and pepper. I'd usually add a squeeze of lemon but I had none!

I also had a bag of 98 cal crisps, and half a tin of baked beans (maybe I have pmt a bit there)!

Tea: I'm gonna make this sea bass with sesame noodles

Also had a cup of tea and 2 segments of Terry's chocolate orange!

Managed 10 girlie push ups too.

Day 13 of the holiday diet

Today was college day, talking about chi squared so I need extra fuel to take in the knowledge (another excuse to not diet).

Breakfast: 2 eggs on a small piece of brown toast, no butter.

Dinner: pre-packed egg cress sarnie in brown bread, the pack said it was about 300 cals..... I did also have a packet if walkers guess the flavour crisps, pack B. they tasted of maybe paprika or chorizo?

Tea: Jamie Oliver's pollock fish cakes, they were about 200cals for 2 fish cakes so didn't seemed like an ok quick option, I'll buy them again cos they were pretty tasty too! I also had some spinach, peas and 100g of low fat oven chips (the girl can't give up the chips)

Day 12 of the holidaaaay diet

I did weigh myself last night and didn't like the result.... I'm blaming the time of day and not the pizza or KFC!

Today:

Breakfast: bacon sarnie from work due to the empty fridge at home! I didn't eat all of the white fluffy bun though.

Dinner: Boots meal deal I got a shapers prawn wrap, sour cream wheat crisp things and a bottle of diet coke!

Tea: it's pancake day..............
