I am simply not too well organised in the holidays it seems. Doesn't bode well for retirement! I am not keeping up with the blogging, but in my defense I have carried on with writing my daily food diary. It is something, at least.
Sunday was an ok kind of day. I varied breakfast by having spaghetti on toast, followed by fruit. Made a change but I did miss my eggs!!! It all kept me going until I had pasta, ham and vegetables at lunch time. Again the planning and the thought was better than the reality. I am so not inspired at the moment. Shame really as there is enough for tomorrow!
I have been knitting my Easter egg cosies again so that kept my hands busy - no chance to pick! I did manage some chocolate again though @ 5 syns. A coconut yoghurt added half a syn.
Made roast for dinner - gammon, potatoes and cabbage. I really do like cabbage. Sad I know!
Monday started with eggs and crispbreads followed by kiwi and banana. It was a pretty busy day so lunch was late. Again I am amazed at how long I can go before I eat. I was in town and in the past have planned where and what I am going to eat as I walk around, but these days I am more than content to wait until I get home. It was a bit more of a struggle though, as I knew I was eating the rest of the pasta from the day before!!! Still I rewarded myself with my favourite Liberte natural yoghurt and berries.
More knitting in the afternoon before I prepared yet another recipe from the Fakeaway book - this time prawn dopiaza. It was very simple to make and there was plenty of it. My husband loved it but to me it was just okay. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it was not what I wanted to eat. That happens sometimes. Then again it may have been because it was not what I thought it would be like from the photo in the book! Whatever, it was okay and I finished it! I followed it with a Muller yoghurt and a pear. Syns for the day were spent on yet more chocolate (5).
Now Tuesday was a tricky day as I suddenly had to go into work and that was not planned! Breakfast was good - the same old .....egg, crispbreads and fruit. I had no idea how long I would be so should have taken lunch with me, but I didn't. Bad mistake!!!!! It took far longer than anticipated and I got hungry. I searched the office cupboard and could only find a bag of crisps (6 syns) then ate chocolate buttons (8.5). A really dreadful diet and so bad for me I know. I could have kicked myself afterwards. When I eventually got home I did make myself a jacket potato with beans followed by berries and yoghurt. Not quite redeeming myself, but a start!
Dinner had been planned. I made a rich beef casserole from one of my old Extra Easy recipe books. It was lovely - rich and full of chunky carrots. The recipe accompanied it with mustard mash but I decided just to stick with cabbage - a huge plateful, and a small plain boiled potato. Having gone overboard with syns in the middle of the day, that was it for me - no more treats before bedtime! Just my birthday and Easter weekend to negotiate now!!!
