Evening Snack – 1 x peach

Water – 500ML

Exercise – None. I walked around the corner and back again twice but that doesn’t really count.

Comments – I’ve never had cottage cheese before, it was interesting I don’t really like the texture but I found the more I mixed in the pesto the smoother I could make it. The pesto definately improved the taste. Just before lunch I was craving something sweet like fruit or an iced green tea, as you can see I had both of those for lunch in the end. *0g of sliced smoked chicken seemed like heaps! I swapped out tomatoes for beetroot as I don’t eat tomatoes. The avocado, I had to make sure there was beetroot or chicken on my fork at the same time as the texture is just too smooth for me to eat it on it’s own.

There isn’t a lot of fruit allowed for in the meal plans I’ve been given and that’s something that I’m not really happy with so I’ll discuss that with her at my next nutrition meeting and see what I can do about it. I substituted the peach in for my evening snack because 1 it is sweet and too it’s fruit! I didn’t feel like eating anymore nuts, I want to save the protein bars for when I’m at work and I couldn’t make a smoothie as it is too noisy after N has gone too bed. It’s not a major I don’t think it just may not have the right amount of protein that the other choices have.

You will see that I was very naughty too, a biscuit and 2 tsp of sugar in a cup of tea while I was at work. It was a habit to have a cup of tea with sugar while at work but I don’t usually have a biscuit. I think it was because I saw it basically. No other excuse, I just need to make sure it doesn’t happen again!

I need to drink a hell of a lot more water too, I was really good at the end of last week but fell off the wagon over the weekend. Mini Goal – drink more water!!!

So that’s the end of Day One. Tomorrow I have my first PT session, excited!
