Day 2

Jesus - why is changing your diet so fricking hard?!



Yesterday during the day I did so well and was all healthy. Then in the evening I headed to my boyfriends. He asked me to make him packed lunch for today and his dinner was already waiting for him on the side - some sort of mince chili with a jacket potato - being vegetarian there was nothing for me. He's trying to beef up at the moment so I'm feeding him lots of pasta. Problem is I LOVE PASTA!!

 
So last night I made him a big tub of pasta, mixed it with garlic and herb philidelphia and siphoned off the extra for myself mixed with a tonne of peas and green beans, defrosted and microwaved with a large clove of garlic.

Obviously I had alot less creamy-cheesey crap on my dinner but still... how can I leave pasta out of my diet?!
So depressing. Anyway - I guess that works out to around 500 calories so my calorie count yesterday (minus a hundred or so for the exercise) was around 1000. Too much if I want to lose a substantial amout.

I'm not sure what my plans are this evening but preferably they will avoid bloody carbs.
 This morning on my way to work I whizzed to Sainsburys and picked up a melon and grape fruit salad for breakfast (120 cals), cous cous (100grams cooked is 112 cals) to mix with tinned sweetcorn (around 100 cals drained) and a tub of soup (112 cals per 600grams) incase I change my mind.


Sainsburys carrot and corriander - 114 calories

The Green Giant is a good friend to me. I love peas and sweetcorn!


Ususally by now I would have got through at least one packet of mini snack-a-jacks, possibly skips and a treat of some nature.


I'm kind of craving a Tracker Bar - I think they are made by Mars though so I assume they have more calories in them than I should really consume in a day, however Special K's cereal bars are 90 calories a bar but really I dont want to go over 200 cals per meal so it is a tough call.
