Wouldnt it be more to the point if we wrote our calories (rough count)? This thread could smack of competitive anorexia.
Think I will join in then! If people are worried this will be a "who can eat the least" competition... well, I'm not afraid of losing :giggle:
Joosie's Monday
Breakfast – large bowl of honey-flavoured cereal with full cream milk (I can't deal with milk-flavoured water lol), mug of tea 2 sugars.
Mid-morning snack – 2 pieces of homemade flapjack left over from show
Lunch – roughly 1/3 of a fresh baguette (sooooo good) with proper butter, slice of ham and a good dollop of coleslaw, then a chunk of brie & picked out the avocado from last night's leftover salad. Apricot yoghurt. Mug of tea 2 sugars, another piece of flapjack.
Mid-afternoon snack – cereal bar with apple, raisins and white chocolate coating
After work snack – chunk of leftover baguette (mostly crust, best bit!) with proper butter, mug of tea 2 sugars
Dinner – turkey teriyaki (strips of turkey marinaded in brown sugar / soy sauce / apple juice / olive oil / ginger, plus big chunks of red pepper) plus vegetable stir fry with spinach, courgette, celery and onion, and pasta with melted cheese mixed in (droooool). Ate a full plate then went back for seconds of the turkey and pasta.
No dessert. Mug of tea 2 sugars to round off the day.
Exercise – on the yard approx. 8am-1pm and 2pm-7pm so a good 10hrs physical work including 10 stables mucked out, 40mins hack with approx. 15mins rising trot, 40min flatwork x 2; also walked up the hill to the yard (x 2) and cycled to Mouse's field and back (1½ km)
Sleep – 6 hours last night. Fairly standard, got up feeling like I could do with another hour, but had a very long weekend at the regional championships so that had to be expected... and thankfully my best friend Tetley is there to wake me up :tongue:
Mood – as good as usual but lacking a bit of “oomph”
ETA if we are going to add exercise, sleep and mood to the mix then I suggest also mentioning something about the weather - surely a factor very connected to diet and mood.
Today here it was sunny with a few cloudy periods and a nice spring breeze.
