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!

Day 7

I can't believe that's it, a whole week has gone by and I have been mostly good, yes I've had some little slip ups however I would say on average I have been consuming less than 1500 calories per day therefore I feel I should have lost something. We'll find out tomorrow at the weigh in. I am thinking my scales are slightly dodgy and regretting not weighing myself at boots or somewhere that I feel may be somewhat more reliable.

Breakfast - Forest fruits shake, and as I suspected this was absolutely rotten!

Mid snack - small tub of hummus with some cucumber and a 30g piece of cheese

Lunch - Roasted pepper and tomato soup, and again this was rotten!!

Afternoon snack - x 1 scrambled egg, it was a large egg and was a double yolker.

Dinner - x 1 Duck leg with a small amount of parsnip mash (I know on the avoid list), carrots, roasted pepper, onion and courgette.

Supper snack - 30g soft cheese and some strawberries

Not much to update on today. I am thinking of getting some exercise in next week as my do in on Saturday and I am hoping to have lost a few pounds for then and just generally feel a little slimmer/more comfortable in my dress.

I have been painting, hoovering and cleaning for most of the day so I'm sure that has burnt a few calories, well I hope so!
