Sunny Saturday

Feeling lethargic and foggy this morning, slightly congested. I'm hoping it will wear off as the day goes on - too much to do today! I get the feeling that my system is trying to fight off the same germs my little girl has been dealing with.

Had a much needed sleep in this morning too, so breakfast is being had a bit later than usual (and looks much the same as other days this week).

Breakfast:

* Half a cup raw oats plus one cup of water, cooked to make oatmeal
* Topped the oatmeal with some sultanas and sunflower seeds, plus half a cup of milk

So after dealing with a very clingy tot all morning, breakfast ended up merging into lunch, as I was shovelling in a mouthful whenever I could!

I went for my PT session with Clare, and then came home for a 'snack' of a couple rice cakes, half a banana, half an apple, and a couple of handfuls of raw mixed nuts along with a cup of green tea.


Dinner:

* Spag bol, home made sauce with beef mince, plus mushrooms and onions. Portion roughly the size of my hand.

NB - here is where I fell down today, as we (Erin & I) got home late, then the husband and I were due to go out to the movies. So all I had was a quick peanut butter sandwich on wholegrain bread, and a cup of green tea. I might have also sampled some popcorn (plain) at the movies.

Sunday, 10th August, 2008

Had a good day but failed to balance my eating very well :(

I had a glass of warm water with lemon juice shortly after I got up, and then a couple hours later a cup of green tea.

I didn't really have any breakfast, and we later rushed off to get the grocery shopping done.

Lunch was a delicious shake containing: 250mls of soymilk, 1/4 cup organic natural yoghurt, 1 chopped banana, two scoops of Sculpt protein powder, and a handful of frozen mixed berries. SO good.

For a snack mid afternoon I had some rice crackers with hummus.

Dinner was a BIG green salad with cucumber, tomato, spring onion, and sprouts - filled 2/3 of my plate with it and actually managed to eat it all. The 'main' dish was some penne pasta with a chunky tomato sauce with a *tiny* itty bitty bit of cream in it, and loaded with more veges - carrots, mushrooms, peas and onions. Had a palm sized portion of this.


Water intake: 2L
Exercise: Day off

At about 2:30pm once my little toad was in bed I had two rice cakes, topped with a little hummus, a slice of pepperoni, a teaspoon of cottage cheese, and a slice of tomato.


Dinner was about 6pm, but all I could muster was a bowl of salad - lettuce, cucumber, spring onion, sprouts, and some smoked salmon broken up on top. Was quite yummy actually!

Tough Tuesday

So, I've called it Tough Tuesday as there have been a few new rules put in place with the guidance of my super tough but still kind trainer, Clare. They are as follows:

* No coke
* No coffee
* No alcohol
* No caffeinated beverages
* No margarine
* No highly processed / refined stuff eg: Twisties

And...

* More protein
* More greens
* Warm drinking water (better for digestion)


Basically, to treat my body like a temple to get the best result possible !!

With that, today's eating looks a bit like this..


Breakfast:

* One slice of wholegrain toast, topped with plain cottage cheese
* One panfried egg (using Rice Bran Oil)
* One glass of soymilk
* One glass of warm water with lemon juice

Snack: Post workout drink of apple juice, half a dozen rice crackers, 3-4 handfuls of raw mixed nuts, and a couple of small apple slices pinched from my daughters lunch box (shame on me!).


Lunch:

* Medium sized wholegrain roll (roughly the size of a hotdog bun?) filled with plain hummus, baby spinach leaves, sliced tomato, and sliced ham.

* One cup of green tea

Snack: More apple slices (my own this time), and another handful of nuts.


Dinner:

* Leftover (surplus that we put away in the freezer) Enchiritos, I served myself one wrap, but ate maybe a third?

* Half a plate's worth of a big green salad - this I ate all of.



Water intake: 2.4L
Exercise: Upper body workout at the gym (morning)

Just another Monday!

What a great start to the week! Feeling energetic and motivated already!

Breakfast:

* One and a half slices of wholegrain toast, lightly spread with cream cheese
* One and a half pan fried eggs, pan lightly sprayed with Rice Bran Oil

I actually made two slices of toast and two eggs, but ran out of steam!

* One cup of coffee with milk
* One glass of nice, crispy cold water


Went for a kick-ass session at the gym with Clare at 9:30am and boy am I feeling it! It's a good kind of hurt though.


I haven't had lunch yet, but I am thinking of something involving veges, cheese, and hummus - yum!


Water intake in total was about 2.2L


To be continued...

So I eventually got sidetracked and just ended up snacking sporadically across the afternoon on fruit (oranges, bananas) and nuts, and a rice cake. Had plenty of water too, and one cup of green tea.


Dinner was spag bol, but for me was a great big fat green salad loaded with veges (two thirds of a dinner palte at least), and only a palm sized portion of noodles with mince / sauce (sauce was home made, and included mushrooms and onions). I could actually only eat about half, as I'd had a glass of soy milk about an hour before we sat down to eat.

Lazy Sunday

Or not so lazy, since I actually went to the gym! Finally feeling OK enough to go, and it was good!

Because we'd run out of milk though, breakfast was minimal:

* One cup of coffee with one teaspoon of brown sugar
* One slice of toast thinly spread with marge


Lunch was better, I was starving by the time I'd finished running errands after my workout and finally got home:

* Palm sized portion of gluten free garlic and herb pull-apart bread from the local New World bakery
* Half a sliced apple
* 250ml drink box of vanilla flavored soymilk


Snack: Handful of mixed raw nuts, a glass of apple juice, and a hand sized 'stick' of mozarella cheese (only about the width of my thumb though).


To be continued - Dinner coming soon!


Water intake so far is about 2.5L


So, Dinner... I ended up going for a quick and easy option, but still pretty healthy I reckon! I made 'pizza' but using a bread / base I bought at the Food Show, by 'Poesy' (www.poesy.co.nz). Quite thin, and long, and really tasty! Ingredients are listed as: Wheat flour, water, soybean oil, sugar, yeast, salt, and olive oil.

I used a chunky tomato sauce base, also from Poesy, which lists its ingredients as: peeled tomatoes, tomato paste, olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, cracked pepper, and salt.

So for the actual toppings, I used: pepperoni, green capsicum, mushroom, pineapple chunks, and a handful of grated cheese sprinkled on top.

* I ate two slices about the size of my hand, from palm to fingertip. My husband ate twice that, hah!

* I also had one small glass of white wine, approx 5oz.

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Breakfast:

* One piece of toast lightly spread with marge
* One panfried egg (pan lightly sprayed with Rice Bran Oil)
* 1/3 tin of baked beans


The rest of the day wasn't really divided into particular meals or snacks, as we went to the Food Show, so lots of little nibbles of so many different (and tasty!) things.


Dinner was one hand sized slice of pizza, home made base, topped with masala sauce, chicken, and plain unsweetened yoghurt, with a little grated cheese sprinkled on top. Then maybe one palm sized helping of home made pasta (fettucine style) with an organic chunky tomato sauce.

Water intake was better, definitely over 2L but I can't be 100% sure just how much.

Friday - time to relax!

Still not feeling 100% today so taking it as easy as possible.

Have had all sorts of naughties so far today though, sorry Clare!

One glass of Coke so far, a handful of Twisties, and a custard fruit tart from the local bakery.

I don't know what's for lunch yet but maybe Subway? Which isn't *too* bad I guess?

To be honest, I think I've probably reached my junk food quota for the day already...


To be continued...


So, Lunch... All I can say is, BLEURGH! Some hot chippies and half a really gross spring roll later, and I still haven't learned have I? So much for reaching my junk food quota.


Dinner was a cheese and onion toastie *insert embarassed face here*


Water intake was probably in the vicinity of 1.5L

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Not a good start to the day today, a certain 'friend' of mine showed up so left me feeling rather ill - and not at all hungry. My darling husband even came home from work early so I could hibernate.

I think the sum total of my food intake was as follows:

* Small bowl of Cheerios with milk
* Half an apple
* Half a rice wheel
* One cup of hot chai tea
* One bowl of pumpkin soup

Water intake: approx. 1.5L

All I have to say is, bleurgh.
