Too Much Today

Today I ate too much and I don't know why - - did go for a walk though.

Today I ate:

Special K

baguette and cheese and Branston pickle

five coconut biscuits (WHAT!!!)

half a melon

a banana

Thai Green Curry (Somerfield, quite nice) with wholegrain rice and peas

a gooseberry fool

half a bar of Caldey white chocolate

Verdict: What's going on? Far too much food! I think I left it rather late to have lunch and it all went downhill from there.

Friday and Saturday

I had a highly enjoyable evening watching Leon and Valiant last night, and forgot to write this blog.

Anyway, yesterday I ate:

Special K

a scone with jam

an orange, a nectarine, a banana

a piece of lemon cake (look, it was home made and it would have been rude to refuse, honest!)

half a portion of spare ribs and half a portion of chicken fried rice and some chips and some prawn crackers (sobs gently but it was YUM)

Verdict: Not the best of days nutrition-wise - - but it was a lovely evening and the Chinese take-away has been shut for weeks!

Today I ate:

porridge with frozen raspberries

a bacon sandwich

an orange

spag bol with tinned tomates and fresh onions and frozen peas

a bowl of strawberries

Verdict: Not too bad, though perhaps a bit too much red meat!

Planning Italy

Today we hired the car for our Italy trip. Woohoo!

and I ate:

Special K with red berries (a treat!)

two scones with raspberry jam

a banana

a coconut biscuit

pasta with bolognese sauce (mince, tinned tomatoes, onions, tomato puree etc) and frozen peas

small piece of Arctic Roll

strawberries and evaporated milk

Verdict: Not too bad!

Quiet Day

It was very quiet in the office today and I managed to send off for the proceeds of the Communist's insurance policy, for my mother.

And I ate:

porridge with frozen raspberries

egg salad sandwich (tomatoes and lettuce)

an orange

two apricots

roast chicken, new potatoes, peas and sweetcorn

a scone with raspberry jam

a nectarine

Verdict: Not bad at all. Would have been better without the scone - - but not bad!

Watching Films and Gardening

Today I did some gardening and watched the second Harry Potter film and also Madagascar - - highly enjoyable.

And I ate:

muesli

two slices of toast with butter

a banana, an apple, an orange, an apricot

chicken with gravy, fried potatoes, mixed vegetables

Verdict: Not bad at all!

Sunday and Monday

Okay, I don't know how I didn't write this yesterday.

Yesterday I ate:

muesli

a sausage sandwich (three sausages)

a lot of fresh peas

burger, fried onions, chips and peas

an orange

a nectarine

two apricots

Verdict: Too high in fat!

Today I ate:

muesli

fresh peas from pods

two slices of toast and a banana

two apricots

fish and half a portion of chips

an orange

Verdict: again, too high in fat - - I seem to be seeking comfort food as I've been feeling a bit below par.

Catching Up

On Thursday I went to London with Silverback for him to get his visa.

And I ate:

muesli

a banana

an apple

a ham and tomato sandwich on the coach

chips and a tiny bit of Kentucky Fried Chicken

Burger King cheeseburger and chips

a Kit Kat (four fingers!)

Verdict - - oh well, not good but only one day - -

On Friday I ate:

muesli

bread roll and butter

fresh peas from pods

M and S posh burger, with fried onions, new potatoes and frozen peas

lemon meringue pie

Verdict: Ah well, we were celebrating Silverback's visa in lemon meringue pie!

Today I was at home and I ate:

porridge with frozen raspberries

sausage sandwich with two sausages

lots of peas from pods

half a pizza and some garlic bread

some green salad and tomatoes

an orange

a nectarine

a small bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk (comfort food)

Verdict: Not as bad as I thought - at least there were fruit and veg! Tomorrow - - back on track!
