Salad

A nice healthy title for what I had for my lunch
A.m. Green Tea, 2 cups of water, bowl of white rice

Lunch: - Chicken salad, 1 stick cucumber, 1 carrot stick, plum yoghurt.


Plum yoghurt was actually delicious.


Actually, about 10 mins ago i remembered there was some kinder bars in the cupboard and was going to get them but I thought why. Something I read recently, in my words, said it's like the food devil whispering you want the sugary food. but when I really think about it

Medium size Chai Tea Latte while out shopping.
7 prunes, 4 pieces of dried mango

Beef bourgignon, fried potatoes, balinese style fried rice, glass water.
Now these were all tapas style so not as much as it sounds.

We went out to meet S's friends. There was humous and pitta, I didn't touch. I had 2 glasses of water.

Tomorrow travelling to university so we will be having lots of delicious Japanese food.

Day 0ne...

of my food blog. I'm going to be brutally honest about everything that passes my lips.
My first entry is nothing to be proud of. At 8.30 this morn, I found the other half to the apple kit kat in my bag. Now this was a wrapped bar if two half size wafers. I was going to throw it away but as I have known for a long time, I love food and hate waste. Now one thing that bothers me with this is that when i had the other half last night, I thought how it tasted like nail varnish remover. It should have gone in the bin...it will next time! Later in the morning a wholemeal muffin with spread and strawberry jam was consumed with 2 cups of green tea.
We met a friend for lunch and went to a French restaurant. I had a piece of vegetable quiche and 2 glasses of water. This was literally all that came on a small plate. My friend gave me some of her salad to 'dress' the plate. We stopped for a drink near a newly opened farmers market, where I had a mango juice, one glass of water and owagi, a Japanese desert, rather like that in the picture. I had a small Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks. This is probably something I will ultimately cut down on, as they are a drain on not only the waist line but also the purse.
I avoided 3 samples of foods in the shops!
I ate 2 mushrooms. Why? I don't even like mushrooms but I suppose not a bad thing to eat.
Half and unripe Sharon fruit and a cup of Lady Grey tea (no milk, no sugar). Dinner up date to follow.
