Day 6 - Setback

Well yesterday (as it is now, weird or what!) was different - it was like I forgot what I was doing... porridge and the last muffin for breakfast (300), small salad for mid morning (60), apple (70) and then lunch with a friend.

I knew the lunch was coming, knew it, and knew we were going to a super-healthy vegan place that she said she'd thought of me when she''d seen it. So we got the stuff from the buffet area (it was only one trip, so no problems really). Whilst it was all healthy stuff, I can't help but think that with oil and potatoes and lentils and quinoa and various veggies and tofu, it came to at least 700 cals. Let's say I had 7 scoops on my plate, each at 100.

Yikes.

It didn't really stop me, after walking around (London is a definite walking town once you're in the centre), I quickly went home and scarfed down a couple of low-fat, home-made scones (approx 300, again!) and an apple and went out. Coming back late, I then had a couple of small bowls of porridge (300). 1730. What happened to "nothing over 1600"? I just didn't count. It's so hard to count cals when you're in a place without a counter!! Where you don't know what you're eating! I mean, the 700 is probably an overestimate, but it might not be.

Then I read Sophie's comment on my previous post (hon, I'd find your blog and link it here, but I'm so sleepy!), which started with "I hope you give yourself a break today". I have been doing well this week, I woke up with tired legs, which is annoying but implies that I've worked them a bit, and I managed to not weigh myself this week, for the first time since I've been away properly from my scales. I'm hoping to see a loss tomorrow. I think I will also re-measure myself, because those measurements are important.

Ladies, I hope you're having a strong-willed day!!
