So, after moving and the last bit of nightshift along with champagne and quiche in work, rubbish food during moving and a gain of 2lb. I decided that I should make a food diary.. At least if it's on show then I definitely have to be good! (keeps up the pressure!)

breakfast: strawberries, grapes, 0% greek yoghurt with 1tsp honey (1) and alpen light bar (1/2 HeB)

Snack:
cup of tea, sugar (1) milk (0.5) and half of a slice lemon meringue pie (5) (I started at the smaller end to eat less and avoided the dollop of cream! - we were in town enjoying the sunshine after a month of darkness)

Lunch: Tomato Couscous, red and yellow pepper, lemon juice, parsley, red onion and cucumber.

Dinner: One pot mushroom rice (tomatoes, onion, red pepper, mushrooms, rice, chicken)

That's why I do a diary as well as I feel I'm not the only one watching what I'm eating :)

Just wanted to comment as it doesn't look like you had much for lunch yesterday? The days I do this I tend to go over on my syns as I end up feeling hungry!
 
Thanks for commenting! I thought I needed a good kick up the rear to get back into gear after moving and putting on 2lbs.

Yesterday I wasn't even really that hungry, we were in town and rushing about to get things sorted and get new bits and pieces for the new apartment - didn't think about eating. Even when the OH went to L.A Bagels for a Bagel! Hehe!

I have just had a sneaky peak as only the last two days have been on plan and it's showing a loss of 4lbs - going to drink as much fluid as possible and be as good as possible ready for WI tomorrow morning! :cool:
 
Well done but make sure you have even a little lunch - otherwise you'll get peckish and end up eating something naughty!
Let us know how WI goes x
 
Aww thank you ladies for your replies. I do normally have lunch I just have been rushed off my feet the past few days.
