Not quite a detox day

Today started really well with some banana pancakes, basically a banana omelette, they were rather good though considering there was no flour to give weight to them.

All I did was mashed 1 banana and mixed it into to 2 eggs, left to settle for 5 minutes and then cooked in a frying pan with a little spray oil.

Lunch consisted of tuna mixed with a little homemade mayonnaise, again very delicious!!

I went out in the afternoon and did have a cup of tea and a piece of coffee cake (of which I had half and brought the rest home for my other half.)

For dinner I made bolognaise, just steak mince, onion, fresh tomatoes, tinned tomatoes, oregano, parsley and tomato puree and served this with a small amount of gluten free pasta, I then mixed a little homemade garlic mayonnaise in to give a bit more flavour, it was gorgeous, but I'm still hungry...! best h

Diet what diet?

So today has been a naughty day and I am hoping for a better one tomorrow, but I am not sure.

I have avoided caffeine, yay go me.. but I succumb to a glass of wine, a tuna baked potato, custard tart.. you name it I ate it, Oops! Oh well cant do anything about that now.

It was my last day at my job that I have been in for the last 4 years so I think I deserved a glass of wine and some naughty nibbles throughout the day. I did all of these little things in moderation and didn't stuff myself by any stretch of the imagination so its not so bad!

As always what's great about dieting is being a little more inventive in the kitchen, bringing a passion for cooking back.

Yesterdays dinner of Chilli Halloumi, Roast carrot and parsnip, cucumber ribbons and coleslaw made with homemade aioli.

Tonights dinner consisted of Duck breast, spiralized cucumber, rice noodle and spring onion stir fry with a fried egg on top - delicious!

So your probably thinking this doesn't sound very diety? I am trying to follow juice plus and the main thing it restricts is potato, wheat and milk.

Tomorrow should be a healthier day, however I will be out during the afternoon and I imagine the company I am keeping will be wanting cake.. must stay strong!

And so it begins..Again

Its summer and I am feeling porkie, time to lose some weight I feel!

I am changing the plan yet again, so this time I am trying Juice Plus.

The initial phase will be detox, which I started today, for me this means no wheat, potato, fizzy drinks, just natural eating (mostly).

So here it is

Breakfast - Kiwi and grapes
Snack - Greek Yogurt
Lunch - Tuna, brown rice, tomato, spring onion
Snack - Veg sticks and homemade hummus
Dinner - Leek, carrot and celery soup. Onion, Tomato and feta omelette with roast aubergine, courgette and sweet potato chips.
Snack - peach

So far it doesn't feel like detox food but I have struggled with no caffeine, just water - (3+ litres) BANGING head all day, hope tomorrow is easier in that sense.

Watch this space :-)
