I’m feeling fairly proud of myself at the minute so I thought I’d share why…
Well, as you may have guessed as this is a diet blog, I have been pretty good following my eating plan over ther past few days.
I have stuck to the diet and have planned all my meals… I think I need a reward.
I wish my reward was a room of chocolate but instead it is 3 days at Disneyland – starting Monday (which I can’t wait for, but I have such a craving for chocolate at this moment it is all I can think about). I fear that this will throw me off course so I have decided to eat what I like there (within reason) and try a different 3-day fad diet when I get back.
Then I won’t feel guilty because I’m not trying to stick to anything anyway; plus, with all the candyfloss and chips I could eat at Disney it is a given that I would fail – so I’m not going to try!
I though I’d share with you what I have been eating over the past few days – you definately won’t believe that it constitutes as a diet – and then I’ll tell you what day one of the forthcoming diet is. The difference is pretty scary.
So Sunday was a Red day (Slimming world) which meant I could eat all of this – and it was part of the diet plan:
Breakfast: Bacon (free if grilled) sandwich (2 small brown toast = 1 B choice) + brown sauce (2 syns)
Lunch: Ham (free), cheese (admittedly fairly small measurement = 1 A choice) salad (all free) + balsamic vinegar (free)
Packet of skips (5 syns) and 1 light alpen chocolate cereal bar (half a B choice)
Tea: Grilled chicken breast (free) and roasted vegetables (free)
1 light alpen chocolate cereal bar (half a B choice)
I also snacked on fruit all day – an apple, two tangerines and a banana.
Monday was a Green day and I ate:
Breakfast: 2 weetabix (I B choice) with semi-skimmed milk (A choice)
3 Ryvita (I B choice) + 5 laughing cow triangles (1 A choice)
Lunch: Pasta ‘n’ Sauce
Tea: Vegetable curry and rice (made with green beans, carrot, brocolli and onion + tinned tomatoes and curry spices)
2 Freddos (11 syns)
I also ate a banana, a mango and 2 tangerines.
Seem simple? It’s almost too good to be true. I’ll let you know how much I lose – before I jet off to Disneyland.
Now, just for a comparison between a healthy diet plan and a rather more strict diet plan – this is what I’ll be eating next week on day 1 of the new diet:
Breakfast: a black coffee of tea
half a grapefruit
a slice of toast with peanut butter
Lunch: One slice of toast with half a cup (american measurement) of tuna
Tea: a small amount of chicken and 2 half cups of vegetables
A small scoop of vanilla ice cream
So no snacks and I’ll be starving all day… but atleast I’ll have my ice cream to look forward to.
