Everyday Systems

Hi, now on day 6- didn't check in yesterday as I was on a girls night out to see Take That- don't know how big they are in the US but they were FAB!!!
Anyway..
You know what- this NEVER happens to me...but I actually didn't think about food much at all yesterday. I had a large bacon baguette at about 10 30 knowing that I would probably need something substantial and the only other time I ate was with the girls at about 6 prior to the concert- a stir fry or rice noodles, chicken, veggies and broccolli with a teriaki sauce, and it was yummy and was sufficient to see me through.

Today however, the PMS choco- hormones have kicked in. I'm having a bad one this month, possibly as I am mega mega stressed. (sorry to the boys to go on about this PMS stuff )- I am suffering physically and am really bloated, then to make my day complete I tried a dress on for a function on Saturday night and the zip broke- so now I am feeling hacked off that my dress didn't fit and I am writing now to take my mind off chocolate and comfort eating.
I will NOT give in to it
I will NOT give in to it
I will NOT give in to it
I will NOT give in to it.
That's better

Hello, another good day today, I'm pleased to say. I had to drive to London for an interview which meant a really early start and then met my friend for lunch and to look around the ruins of a Roman villa. Then the traffic proa light lunch blems started- the road that encompasses London is difficult at the best of times but due to a series of accidents resembled a car park rather than a motorway. I was stationary for hours......so by 8pm I was still on the road, a long way from home, and starting to feel really hungry to the point of not being able to concentrate- and no services to pull over. So I had a couple of pieces of fruit. I had to- but then adjusted the amount I ate when I got in in a kind of virtual plating. I realise that this would be seen as snacking but it was that or potentially crash the car as I was really feeling very faint, so I decided that sanity needed to take over on this occasion!

Breakfast was a breakfast muffin and a decaf coffee
Lunch was a baguette with chicken salad and dressing and a small glass of white wine
Dinner was the two apples and a small piece of poached salmon with a small salad, a boiled egg, olives and a small chopped new potato.

That dinner sounds delicious! I might have to try it next week.

And I agree that it doesn't sound like "S-Day" type snacking, so I wouldn't count it as a fail day either. Expecially becuase you did some 'virtual plating'! I love that concept. I'd better not try it yet, I'm only on day 3 so far, but it would definitely come in handy in my random, unpredictable life! That's one reason I see this as sustainable - it take take the real world into account.

Hi, the salmon was delicious- it was a kind of salmon nicoise without the anchovies - only cos I didn't have any rather than because I don't like them, cos I do!
Anyway today is a very good friend's birthday and there is a party tonight. I also have one tomorrow night but have decided to make today an S day and not tomorrow because tomorrow's fare is the sort I can take or leave so no need to worry and tonight's is a champagne-fest so I know which one ticks the right boxes for me
Have a good day everyone!
