A question of organisation

Once out of my normal work routine I find it so difficult to organise myself. For one thing I seem to get up later which throws me somewhat though I guess I haven't changed breakfast time! The problem is with lunch which can be any time between 1.00 pm and 4.30 pm it seems. In some ways that is good as it means I am slowly not thinking about food as much as I always have done! In the past the next meal would be at the forefront of my mind and I would feel hungry all the time. Now if I am busy then lunch takes a back seat. Fine you might think, but if lunch is late then that upsets dinner, and so on! Gosh, it's complicated!

Breakfast was my usual boiled egg, crispbreads and fruit. I then started to clear out more junk which kept me busy for most of the morning and into the afternoon. With stuff strewn all over the living room floor I just could not stop to eat, so again lunch was very late. That also means I am somewhat beyond bothering so I heated some leftover fried rice and had some sliced turkey with it. I followed that with rhubarb and yoghurt again!

I have to say that the egg fried rice from the new Fakeaway book is delicious!

During the afternoon I did try to prepare my weekly menu and even wrote out the shopping list. Sometimes I do listen to myself! Lunch is an issue again because I am never really inspired and lack ideas.  I need to scour the 7 day menus again in the old SW. Magazines. Had a cup of tea and some more bread pudding (4syns) which boosted the afternoon!

I bought spinach at the farm shop earlier in the week so I planned my dinner around that as I do love it! I teamed it up with some gammon (a good combination) and some Jersey potatoes - so good at this time of year. As I am conscious of trying to do well this week I added some tomatoes!

Tonight I treated myself to a gin and tonic. Not sure why but I fancied one! Trouble is that then gave me a craving for something sweet so I succumbed to some chocolate! Not a bad day in all though top range for  syns -  bread pudding (4), gin and tonic (4), chocolate (4).

Yet again I am struggling with HEa. I know I should have a milky drink at night but somehow it just does not happen. Having given up cheese for Lent it makes HEa harder for me. Still, only a few days to go before Easter! Which reminds me - steer clear of the hot cross buns!!
