So, having looked into portion control (if interested please check out my previous post) today, I now know I don’t need to worry that I’m not getting enough protein, but I’m not getting enough dairy and may not be getting enough carbs.
As a knee jerk reaction I had two slices of bread with my salad, but this took away from my fruit portion as I didn’t eat grapes. This wasn’t a conscious decision, I simply forgot to eat them. I guess the bread just filled me up too much. I then wondered if I was worrying over nothing, as there’s probably carbs (starch) in fruit and veg. I shall need to look into that.
As for dairy, I’m going to start having Greek yoghurt instead of chocolate mousse in the evening.
So, my usual eggs, salad, cherries and nuts plus 2 slices of seedy wholewheat bread.
Tonight, gammon (I cut off all the fat) with my oven cooked, herby, garlicky spuds, mushrooms and broccoli. I did eat too much of the gammon, all of it in fact, despite the portion control post (I’ll shop according to that for next week). I did leave some spuds. And I didn’t have any apple sauce.
Exercise, yup, I did all three programmes, so over 30 minutes of exercise today, easy cardio, beginner step, beginner strength. I’m sure my body is coping better, it doesn’t feel easier, not by any stretch of the imagination, I just feel I can do it all better.
Anyway, that’s me for today.
Goodnight all.
Trying to lose!
