8 April 2016

Thinking of the therapeutic nature of blogging (rather than 'why do I have to keep proving this') and taking the accountability as positive - even if only to me.
I had to resist the feeling of guilt when I ate a few extra cherry tomatoes and felt like I had to record them last night.

So - a post script from last night - let's say snacking - add an extra...whatever - let's add - whatever you like - even if it was 200 then I am still below 1000 and I should be losing weight - and cherry tomatoes should not instil guilt.

My husband commented last night that my day off had me looking more relaxed...even beautiful! and younger.
Normally I would be on granny duty - early rise (4.45) and a trip to Sydney. Back on the afternoon train and shopping, housework, dinner and ready for work on Friday. This is never a chore and I look forward to the time spent with my girls.

so - today's progress so far.

Breakfast smoothie - (100mls?)almond milk(30c), kale (I'm not counting the kale), 1 tab blueberries(30), 1/4 banana (30) - 200mls - say 100  best guess.

Good start to the day and then the meal replacement with dessert started. Not quite Optislim.

The Stage 5  Class had to be assessed - on ice cream.

It had to be done.

Some were average, but the top right hand pink one was pretty good. We all agreed it was the best. I stopped counting calories here.

I also stopped eating here. I had a taste of all of them. Not too much - just a spoonful each....but.....

Dinner by candlelight.

Ricotta, Dill, Spinach and Avocado Rounds, Corn and Fried Tomato with Basil and Prosciutto.

Didn't bother counting the calories after the ice cream.

Fairly light meal. Rounds cooked in egg rings. Butter on the corn would have been nice. Maybe next time.

Fasting in the morning for a blood test. Serves me right!
