This different time zone thing is throwing me! 
Anyway, today is going ok...and I'm feeling pleased with myself cos I've drunk 1.5 litres of water (2.25 litre target) already...having a bottle on my desk is making it ALOT easier.
I'm STARVING atm and trying not to limit myself so I'm hungry because I feel that I'm in a danger zone for a Fibro flare. But I bought Japanese Rice Crackers (100% FF) instead of biccies this morning and hopefully they'll see me out this afternoon - it's only 360 calories for the whole packet thankfully!  AND I've had some fruit and veg already! 
Breakfast: Bowl of Crunchy Nut cereal with soy milk and Acacia.
Snacks:
- Japanese Rice Crackers.
- Vanilla soy dessert.
- Tescos Blueberry Free-from breakfast bar.
- 1 ADB .
Lunch:
- Tuna mayo sandwich made with light mayo and cucumber.
- Canned peach slices.

An OK day.
Crumpet for breakfast, tortilla wrap with carrot and coriander soup for lunch and a tuna and veg stir fry with rice for dinner. Again too many snacks including the obligatory pack of monster munch (BBQ beef)and some very naughty ice cream (which I am sure I will pay for later).
Went to yoga and it was a fairly intense hour and half session, so should have burned some calories and toned up a bit.
Tomorrow is a bit of a pig of a day. Go to hospital at 1.30 for tests (including blood tests which I hate), then have to hang around till 3.10 for my counselling session, which always leaves me exhausted and in a mess.
Did I mention I have annoying panic attacks in hospitals because of the horrible experiences I had in them as a child (ie someone dying in the bed behind me and some one having a breast biopsy in the opposite bed - god bless the NHS).
Oh well, I think I'll be in for a night of action packed dreams ... that is if I sleep.

Hey, Shell-
my tummy was fine with the coconut milk sauce- it was advertised as low fat so the coconut was more of a flavouring than anything else. I've started eating a mini-naan before I touch the curry, so I get the SF in first- seems to help. I think there was only about 5% fat in the sauce- it didn't have oil as an ingredient, but I added some to cook my veggies, so it's definitely one I'll have again.
Cycling is great, although I didn't get to go running, which is possibly a good thing. I could sit on the bike all day (and sometimes do).

What's teccino with stevia? (I'm imagining it must be fabulous if you have four mugs of it, so I'm instantly interested in trying ...)

Hehe... it is pretty good. Teeccino is an all-natural caffeine free coffee substitute. It doesn't taste quite like coffee, but it IS really good. You can find out more about it on their web page.
Stevia is a natural calorie-free sweetener - it's a plant extract, and the ONLY calorie-free sweetener that's safe for IBS'ers. If you decide to try it, make sure you get a pure kind without any additives. A word of warning, though: it has a HEAVY herbal taste that takes a lot of getting-used-to. I'd really prefer to use sugar, but I use too much of it in a day for my calorie-watching goals, so I switched to stevia.
I used to be a pot-a-day coffee drinker... now I'm a pot-a-day teeccino drinker. It's not quite the same thing, but close enough for me!

Here's the Tuesday report:
Breakfast - multigrain cereal made w/soymilk, raisins, cinnamin. OJ w/fiber powder. 16 oz coffee w/cream&sugar
snack - banana (and more coffee  but only ~8 oz this time, still w/c&s)
Lunch - PB&J on sourdough
Dinner - TJ's shrimp & veggie frozen stirfry, 2 slices of baguette
I'm pretty sure there were also a few dried apricots in the day somewhere . . .
Excercise - 1 hr pilates class
Water - Maybe about 65 oz???
I am very proud of myself for resisting the rest of the store-bought rice crispy treat that was burning a hole in my "candy drawer." I am saving it for the next time I do cardio - probably tonight!
I am thinking of reducing the amount of breakfast I eat b/c it frequently makes me too full and I eat it all anyway. I make the single serving of 1-min oatmeal, so maybe I will decrease that by 1/4 and see if that makes a difference.

I never eat JUST oatmeal for breakfast anyway - it's my prime opportunity for getting some insoluble fruit - so I ended up cutting down to a 1/2 serving of the oatmeal, and I find I feel so much better. Too much at a meal just doesn't work for IBS'ers.

Ok, yesterday sucked in terms of calorie consumption:
Total: 1258
breakfast: toasted plain bagel with pumpkin butter 323 calories
At work: unsweetened applesauce, piece of spinach bread, vegan blueberry muffin, 2 Buttermilk pancakes with pumpkin butter 625 calories
Dinner (at work): pasta with Prego garden combination sauce and rice cheese 310 calories
Part of the problem is that I have class on Tuesday nights, so all the food I have for the day I essentially bring with me (minus breakfast), but my last class was last night, so hopefully things will be better now!
exercise: other than incidental walking around work, none really since I was trying to be easy on my right leg that had been bothering me since Sunday, and I got rides into and home from work....which I'm glad I did, because now it's all better!
