Everyday Systems

Ouf! Fell off the wagon a bit this weekend, thanks to overindulging on Sunday. Spent Monday recovering, which was ok because it was a bank holiday, but actually rather frustrating because what a waste of a day off! Anyway, nos is getting me back on track today. It's tempting to just think I've faile...

First red day on nos yesterday! Not panicking, though. We opened a bottle of wine to celebrate one of our milestones towards buying a house and ended up finishing it off. Which I suppose could count as an extra 's' day but I don't want to start messing around with the system until I've got the basic...

Yesterday's meals yoghurt, flaxseed, granola and kiwi halloumi sandwich plus a satsuma shop-bought gnocchi and pesto, apple slices with peanut butter. Not too bad today so far, either: same breakfast and mashed avocado on toast plus a satsuma for lunch. Add in liberal amounts of coffee and tea! The ...

Hi osoniye and kaalii! Thanks for dropping by :) The dhal recipe was this one: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/13602/creamy-spiced-dhal I'm very lucky to have a very good shop nearby where I can get the herbs and spices they list - I think this is the key to getting a really good, satisfying dhal...

Thanks Rawcookie! Yes, I'm in the uk - I'm going to try a parkrun when I can run a whole 30 mins without stopping! It's been a good weekend overall. I actually deliberately went out and bought cake as a 'treat' yesterday and today, but they didn't really taste that good, to be honest. It's like I'm ...

Still going strong :D one thing I'm really noticing is that when I'm not snacking all morning I'm so very thirsty! I haven't been logging water as a drink but I've had several large glasses of it throughout the day every day so far. Meals: Same porridge mix as before for breakfast plus a hazelnut yo...

Another day, going well, feeling positive :D Meals: Breakfast and dinner were almost identical to yesterday (I made a lot of dhal so there will be leftovers for a while!) Lunch was an egg sandwich, babybel cheese and a flapjack. Drinks: half a glass of wine, milky coffee, a black tea and a small amo...

I discovered nos a week or so ago and have been trying it and I like the simplicity of it. I want to see how recording my habits here helps, so here goes :D Today's meals: Porridge oats with cranberries, kiwi fruit, pecans and flaxseed. 2 boiled eggs with mayonnaise, a couple of slices of toast and ...
