Food diary - one for all of us

Wednesday

Breakfast - can't remember. Think the dog ate it anyway.
Lunch - tuna pasta salad (homemade, half a tin tuna, some pasta, half tin kidney beans, grated carrot and spoonful of mayo and sweet chilli sauce), last of the birthday cake
Snack - crisps
Dinner - cauliflower cheese and jacket potato, glass of rose

Sleep - 8 hours! Woohooo!

Mood today - reasonably upbeat
 
Thursday 27th June.

Breakfast: 2 slices of toast with a little butter.
Morning snack: Apple
Lunch: Sushi (lunch sized portion from sainsburys)
Afternoon snack: Banana
Dinner: 2 chicken fajita wraps (but without cheese or sour cream!)
Evening snack:Green sugar snap peas and a banana.

Sleep: Had about 7 hours last night
Mood: Good. Tired at about 1pm but managed to NOT eat chocolate.
Exercise: Spent 8 hours sitting at a desk at work so not much during the day, but I did ride Ben for 45 minutes - mainly trotting.

I have to say that since I started this diary (Monday) I have made a real effort not to snack, and I certainly feel better for it. I am less bloated and I even felt that my work trousers were not as tight as they were last week!
 
Today I ate

Breakfast: 2 cereal bars
Lunch: bagel and brown roll
Dinner: bf cooked chicken and rice and ate half a toblerone

Exercise: cycled 13 miles and ran 5k in 15 mins
Also mucked out 5 stables and poo picked etc

Mood okay, bit tired but pleased with the run.

Been a stressful week and I've lost half a stone, maybe just dehydrated but need to make the effort to eat better!
 
Thursday

Breakfast: oat granola with greek yogurt with honey and a small handfull of raspberries, strawberries and blueberries
Lunch: cheese sandwich (2 slices of white bread, 2 slices of mild cheddar cheese, cucumber, spinach and a teaspoon of branston pickle)
Snack: 0% fat peach Activia yogurt
Dinner: chicken breast and homemade sweet potato and lentil dahl and some steamed veg
Drinks: nearl 2L diluting juice

Exercise: week 1 of couch to 5k so walking (22min) and jogging (8min) 1hour poo picking (and after that I couldn't face riding)

Mood: fairly happy

Weather: wet & dull

Sleep: probably less than 6hrs as I got woken about 4 and didn't get back to sleep properly.

I don't understand why you say that you had a bad food day? Yes, Brie is high in fat and harrobos have sugar, but with 45 minutes circuit training I'm sure that you would have burnt this off. This looks like a balanced and sensible diet to me.
 
Thurs: A SW "green" day

B: Hot water and freshly-squeezed lemon. Magic Oaty Pancakes (SW)

L: Jacket potato with Heinz 5 Beans (won't have them again then gave me terrible wind! :redcarded:) Fat-free yog and berries, cup of green tea

D: Spag Bol with wholewheat spaghetti, rice pudding made with almond milk. Cup of green tea

Treats: 2 x Alpen Light bars and a glass of chocolate Koko milk (my HEXA & HEXB for the day)

Sleep was fine, run was awful, had to abandon at 3.3km with hip pain and am still limping. I have an appointment to see a physiotherapist later today.
 
An eating too much day!!

Three slices of bread over breakfast and lunch (pastrami sandwich was lovely though!!) just made me lazy and snackish, weeks allocation of biscuits now finished with 4 days still to go. Supper same as Wednesday (big snag of living alone, meat packs always contain two portions which need eating withing 24 hours so, unless I do lot of freezing, meals can get repetative!!)

As a result of bread and biscuit overload felt very sluggish so went to bed early which then resulted in disturbed night...very unusual for me!!
