Been visiting a friend for a couple of days, so it was a little tricky to plan ahead, but I think I did ok.
Thursday: Coffee, Vanilla shake, more coffee for breakfast (my usual routine). On the road, I had a small tin of drained tuna, some lettuce, a (decent-sized) mushroom, a couple of baby tomatoes and a bit of orange pepper. Plenty of fizzy water during the trip. Evening (at my friend's house) some grilled chicken breast with dry-fried cabbage and leek with powdered garlic and corriander. I under-estimated how long it would take to cook the chicken, so the cabbage and leek ended up a bit overdone. It was miles nicer! Much like chinese "crispy seaweed"... Naughtily, I also had a couple of glasses of white wine diluted with fizzy water. I was expecting to feel a bit sick afterwards, but actually I was ok.
Friday: Coffee, shake, coffee. Picnic-type lunch was cold chicken (from the night before), a mushroom and the last of the orange pepper. A handful of blueberries for afters. We ate out that night and it was GORGEOUS! I had a starter with a side of tomato salad. Very thin flame-grilled beef (had to cut some fat off it) with an oriental-type steamed bun (it wasn't that big, but I only ate half, anyway) and a shredded vegetable and chili salad. It came with a wasabi-mayo which I had just a few little dips of... Side salad annoyingly came in quite an oily dressing, but I shared it with my friend. It was the tastiest meal I could have dreamt of and I was plenty full enough! We moved on to a pub and I had a glass of belgian beer which seemed so heavy and filling I made it last well over an hour!
Saturday, back on the road: Wanted to set out as early as poss, so just had a quick coffee and didn't have a shake. Stopped after about an hour and had a tub of fat-free greek youghurt with blueberries. And more coffee. You guessed that, right? Lunch was a tortilla wrap with lettuce, capers and pastrami (it seemed from the label that it was pretty low-fat compared with some other "cooked meats") and two baby tomatoes on the side. Evening meal back at my bf's was tortilla wrap with crispy cabbage and leek and grilled chicken strips. He also wanted a smearing of pesto on his, but I refrained... :innocent0002: He said it was the tastiest meal he'd had in a while! Yay...
The only thing is - I've not been able to weigh myself, and won't be able to until tuesday, so I'm a bit concerned about that... Fingers crossed, though (and any suggestions or comments will be very welcome!).
