Breakfast: None
Lunch: Sainsbury’s sushi selection
Dinner: Salmon fishcake, new potato and carrot salad. (Followed by desserts. plural).

Water: Lots!

Total Calories: 1000

Tuesday was all about being hungry. I don’t know why, but I spent a lot of the afternoon with my tummy rumbling, in spite of a big bowl of soup for lunch. Hence, when I realised the vegan choc cake from last week was still soft (don’t you love brownie style cakes, they never go stale!), I helped myself to a slice!

This evening I actually did exercise, once I had let my dinner go down. It was callanetics night, but noone could come, so I did it all by myself. Most impressive! The next challenge is to get around to going on a run one day this week!

Breakfast: Grapes
Lunch: Tomato & Basil Soup
Dinner: Pasta, Tomato & Marscapone sauce, parmesan

Snack: Vegan chocolate cake

Well, I didn’t do any exercise over the weekend, although I did go for a very long walk on Friday night, and did a load of walking throughout the weekend. I do need to go for a run this week though, because I actually enjoyed it last time! Oh, and callanetics is on Tomorrow, looking forward to that too! As for food this weekend, it was completely off the chart due to some stress – but I don’t care. Back to being healthy now though!

Breakfast: None
Lunch: Chicken & Bacon Wrap
Dinner: Pasta with tomato sauce and parmesan. Followed by a caramel sundae dessert.

Water: 4 Glasses?

No exercise today – unless you count lounging on the sofa, painting and cooking cake?! I was making a vegan chocolate cake for a friend, but I cut it in half too early and it completely fell apart. I managed to save some for work to eat, but it definitely wasn’t birthday cake standard! I may have eaten a bit though…

Breakfast: None
Lunch: Tomato Soup
Dinner: Potato salad, cucumber, tomato and Smoked salmon

Snacks: “Go Ahead” Yoghurt Fruit Break, Some Midget gems, a lump of vegan choc cake!

Total calories: Approx 1000

Aching a little bit after the callanetics last night, but in a good way. I am especially feeling it over my bum/upper-thighs, and the back of my arms. Fitness is heading my way as we speak! Woo!

I went to have my pea and mint soup today, but it was a congealed gloopy lump, and there was no way I was eating that! So, I dug out the last of my change and replaced that disgusting green jellified soup with egg mayo sandwiches. Much better!

Breakfast: Carrot sticks!
Lunch: Shapers Egg-Mayo Sandwich
Dinner: Salad and Smoked Salmon, followed by some cheese!

Water: 5 glasses

Total Calories: 800

Another day, yet more being healthy. Tonight is being spent painting the walls and doing some callenetics with the girls, which means that I am actually doing exercise. It will be tiring too, as I am so unfit! Yay, go exercise! I am also now on a higher dose of antidepressants, so hopefully this will give me the get up and go I need to turn my life around!

Breakfast: None
Lunch: Pasta, Phili, Cucumber & Tomato
Dinner: Salad & Smoked Salmon, Followed by a Milky Bar yoghurt.

Snack: Miniature muffins

Dinner: Pasta, Philadelphia, cucumber and tomato.

This must be the least healthy day ever. I barely got out of bed until 5pm – only for tea – and eventually forced myself to eat a sandwich I made for lunch several days ago but haven’t been able to face, thanks to my teeth! Which I guess shows that the antibiotics are working.

Must do better tomorrow.

People in the office have a tendency to travel the world on a weekly basis. This week we have been brought biscuits from France, chocs from Germany, pastries from Morocco and leftover nibbles from a hen do in London. We’re still working through Russian and Polish delicacies from last week, and the meringues leftover from a birthday on Monday. It is VERY difficult to resist all these delights!
