Today was my first day back at work after the aforementioned crazy back stuff…my goodness it was quite hard to keep going all day! I am now crashed out on the sofa, quite relaxed because I am full of all the painkillers I needed to take at work but couldn’t because they make me spacey! Was quite a good day, my colleagues were lovely and not at all mad that I left them in the lurch, and it wasn’t too busy but just busy enough, if you know what I mean.
Onto the food…a quick post tonight because I am very drugged! Now I know I promised you pictures, and I even TOOK THEM, darn it, but I don’t know where the cable is to upload them from camera to laptop and Andy, king of cables, is out for the evening
So you are just going to have to trust me that I took them, accept my apologies that I didn’t upload photos today, and not judge me for being hopeless with cables!
B: scrambled egg on toast, extra toast with honey, half grapefruit, OJ
L: basic salad (spinach, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes) with flaked almonds and drizzle of olive oil, pot of 2% greek yogurt (LOVE that stuff!), tropical crunch granola (LOVE that stuff too! first time trying it), strawberries and grapes
D: stir fry with tiny amount of brown rice, half a chicken breast, peppers, courgette, carrot and baby sweetcorn in ginger, sweet chilli and soy sauce. Plus organic fruit yogurt for pudding.
Snacks: Apple and mini babybel in afternoon, 3 x shrimps after dinner (oops – the pink foamy ones) and later I’m going to have a small granny smith with some yogurt.
Total cals: 1684
Man, it’s been 2 days eating healthy like this, I feel good but can’t shake the feeling that this is never going to make a difference, I’m going to be stuck being fat forever…I really need some motivation! Off to read some blogs of people with more willpower than me to try and find some!
