Days 5 to 6 - going strong.

So that's four days done and I'm feeling great. Seriously. I think the lack of white bread and pasta in my diet is making me feel less stodgy. I should have done this a long time ago.


Day 5 - Saturday 24 August

     Breakfast - Fruit
     Lunch - Chicken & w/grain rice salad with tomatoes and pickled chillies & cauliflower
     Dinner - Salmon, peas, jacket pots & parsley sauce (not too much sauce)

Again, pickled veg making an appearance. This adds sweetness without the need for sugary substances. 

I know the parsley sauce isn't the healthiest option but I am also cooking for the rest of the family too. When I'm having jacket potatoes in these meals I am of course abstaining from adding the likes of butter on them. Just salt and a generous helping of freshly ground black pepper.



Day 6 - Sunday 25 August

     Breakfast - 2 x w/meal toast with chopped tomatoes & poached egg
     Lunch - Mixed bean salad & tuna
     Dinner - Roast Chicken dinner (plenty of broccoli & cauliflower) again - not too much gravy.

Chopped tomatoes on wholegrain toast have always been a favourite for breakfast so I decided to have this instead of a traditional Sunday "Bacon" breakfast.

Mixed bean salads really are filling, especially when accompanied with tuna and planned for tonight is a roast chicken traditional Sunday lunch. Of course I shall be refraining from adding too much gravy. 


Overall, not a bad first 6 days. Just wish these bathroom scales would arrive.
