I decided that I should start using habitcal again (too many good intentions were being swept under the carpet, but the carpet was not swept much
). That was when I decided to see what the scale had to say to me. It was in a particularly nasty mood. So, here I am (and glad to see so many familiar names - and a lot of new ones, too!) The plan of action? Good old plain vanilla*, SG and UR. Village rangering is actually more appropriate - I live in a tiny place, surrounded by mountains. *Currently, there's a "living-off-the-soil" mod in place - what I pick in my garden and eat there is not a fail. So: picking and eating an apricot when doing my early-morning garden walk-around is fine, but picking an apricot and eating it later in the day (outside of meal times) is a fail. Can't wait for the figs (if I get there before the birds do)!
Meals? Breakfast and lunch are still biscuit-cutter meals - somehow, the day-in, day-out routine works for me. It's blueberry season here, and since I have an unlimited supply of them for now, breakfast is a smoothie with blueberries, banana and Greek yoghurt, often with a boiled egg. At the moment, lunch is a vegetable pasta salad, with chick peas, courgettes, baby red cabbage, onion, tomato - whatever catches my fancy, really - with a lemony tahini dressing. That set menu will probably change next week, but I try to keep it as vegetarian as possible, but I'm not too hard-core about it. Dinner is more of a problem - the wonderful person who has offered to cook me dinner, is very much a meat, rice and potatoes man. So, I try to cram my 5 a day (or however many we're supposed to eat) into my two at-home meals, and any veggies that land up on my dinner plate is a bonus.
It's nice to be back - this time I'm going to give it my all.
