Oops, I got a bit lazy and didn't post for a few days. So - instead of trying to do a daily food diary catch-up, I'm going to do a summary, and talk about all the nice things I ate plus any developments in the dietting world.
Firstly, food. I've eaten some yummy food since my last post. Largely I think it's been healthy. Autumn is setting in here and it's definitely porridge season :-) So here is some porridge with bluberries and raspberries (in fact I'm trying to have berries every day, they are so much yummier than sugar with cereal/porridge). I put some wheatbran in there too but am thinking of trying out some other healthy additions - wheatgerm? Ground linseed? Need to look into the health benefits of all this stuff.
Then there's been the Borscht, which lasted us for days. The pictures are awful, but look at the COLOUR of it. I love this soup - it's the business. Full of beetroot and other veg, and this one had chicken and chicken stock in it, too.
And the lovely emental cheesey bread we had with it:
Last night we had a "night off" - yet didn't go too over the top. Matt made the best curry I have ever, ever tasted (I always say that) - lamb shank curry. He also made a dahl with crispy garlic topping and we had a couple of poppadums and chutney, raita and spiced onions to start. I was so proud of myself for only having 2 glasses of wine though - I normally have MUCH more than that at the weekend....
Here is the gorgeous feast:
We do love a good curry night.
I've really upped my water consumption, it's funny how it becomes much easier and I'm now doing around 3l a day. I feel so much brighter for it. Also I've caved and joined up with a calorie/exercise counting site - it's called www.Nutracheck.co.uk It's helping me so much because I feel more motivated to keep my portion sizes down and to get enough exercises. Good news is I appear to be losing some weight - let's see what the scales say on Monday!
