So, after feeling too self conscious about my thighs to wear shorts to a festival last weekend, I thought I’d start documenting what I eat on my blog. I’m doing this in the hope that, maybe it will help me to begin my transformation into a Victoria Secret esque body from what can only be described as a Nicole Richie esque body circa 2008. Or at the very least discourage me from chain-eating 13 kit kats. Feel free to simply check in on my progress, leave an inspiring comment or just tell me the best thing you have eaten today. I am really nosy when it comes to other people’s food habits and not having anyone to talk about food with is probably what I miss most about office life. WARNING. This is not, and never will be a conventional food diary. Rule no 1. No judging. Rule No 2 No sharing.
Summary:
Current weight: I’m currently trying out a new thing where you tape compliments over the bit that tells you your weight so I’m unsure of exact figures but let’s just say my jeans are TIGHT.
Height: positively borrower-like
7.30AM Breakfast: Muller Corner (must. try. harder).
Calories: 201
Yep. This is bad. Not only is it nutritionally bad (hello sugar) but also not even really age appropriate. It is so far away from the avocado on toast scenario that sometimes happens when I need something to update my Instagram with, however, it is a slight improvement from the family bag of malteasers that accidentally fell into my mouth the morning before. I do feel bad about this poor breakfast choice as I did have healthier options in the house but I took the lazy way out. The bright side? It was free. (I’m also planning in a spending diary to my weekly blogs in an effort to be more financially responsible so get excited for that). I’d also like to say it was a fruit corner but it was in fact a crunch corner. What added the crunch you ask? Granola? Nuts? Seeds? Erm. Vanilla and Chocolate balls. #sorrynotsorry
FYI: I’ve heard a sneaky rumour fact the other day that green tea cancels out calories so did breakfast even happen at all? *insert awkward face emoji here*
11.40AM Lunch: *Pasta Salad
Calories: Haven’t the foggiest but probably more than a traditional salad containing salad items.
Ok. So, we had a little family party over the weekend to celebrate my dog turning one and if there is any joy from the weekend being over, it’s the joy that is eating buffet leftovers. So, lunch was naturally pasta salad. Well, 99% pasta bows with pesto and pine nuts and 1% salad (a sliver of spinach leaf). I added a few token pieces of red pepper and cherry tomatoes in a last minute panic just so I felt better about writing the word salad. I also added a dollop of hummus and a sprinkling of feta before scooping it up and making a little sandwich after finding a rogue bap in the fridge. WINNING. Ok. so it did turn into a small feast after adding some fancy nibbles when realising that the leftover crisps may become soft if left I them any longer. (but at around £45 per M & S crisp you can be sure they aren’t going in the bin). To sum up I was probably the most full I’ve ever been. Silver lining? FREE. *smug face*
1PM Contemplate second lunch but settle for another green tea. I realise that not one fruit or vegetable has crossed my palm so far today apart from the stray grape that flew unexepectedly out of the fridge that I had to wrestle out of the dog’s mouth. Calories burnt from that stressful situ? 890. FACT.
2.30PM CAVED: Can someone tell Cadbury to discontinue their Boost bars? I developed a one-a-day addiction. I’d mention the handful of Haribo that happened here but I’m a firm believer that car snacks don’t count.
7.30pm Dinner: Veggie Curry
Calories: Again, homemade so no clue. BUT. Less that a take out curry.
So, fun fact. My Mum actually drops off her famous homemade veggie curry at my house sometimes and I’ve started to freeze it in an attempt to be more organised. I ate this with some Basmati rice and felt smug that finally some vegetables had appeared on my plate. Having my mum bring over veggie curry is the closest I’ll probably every get to meal prep. She puts it into tin foil containers, it’s all very professional and not unlike those meal delivery services that overweight people use. Except free. *smug face* Who needs weightwatchers?
I hope you all enjoyed this new addition to my blog and if any one of you lovely readers knows how to block one’s husband from reading certain posts on your blog please let me know as most of the things I eat are actually stolen from him (see earlier notes on saving money).
