OK day.
Breakfast - crumpet
Lunch - Salt cod pasty and leftover baked sweet potato
Dinner - Fresh pasta with mushrooms, leek and leftover smoked pork loin
Snacks - Chocolate and a biscuit. Blueberries. Snacked more because I had to go to hospital for a bone density scan and I always comfort eat on these occasions.
Exercise - walked dog twice. Will do 40 mins cardio and 20 mins weights at gym and 20 mins swimming (more of a cool down and relax). Really looking forward to the jacuzzi and steam room as I am still aching because of the medication.
I don't know how fit dog walking gets you (she goes quite fast), but I enjoy it - everyone stops to say hello because she is so cute!!
I've done loads of gardening, so I now have tomatoes, chillies, rosemary, sage, rocket (aragular), corgettes, broad beans, dill, parsely, mint, chives and strawberries all growing from seed (mainly on my window sill at the moment). This should help the healthy eating when they all grow!!
Leeks, carrots and raspberry canes next - plus we want to buy a plum and cherry tree.

I've done loads of gardening, so I now have tomatoes, chillies, rosemary, sage, rocket (aragular), LOL! I am sorry but I have to say you spelled it like you say it! (the English way I mean). It is arugulA. LOL  corgettes, broad beans, dill, parsely, mint, chives and strawberries all growing from seed (mainly on my window sill at the moment). This should help the healthy eating when they all grow!! What do broad beans taste like anyway? I have seen them on Two Fat Ladies. Brits eat different (and more) vegetables than Yanks. I wish I could get some of them. I have been starting seeds too. Last month I started leeks and scallions and basil, mammoth and Thai. This month I started bell and hot peppers and I just started tomatoes. What a way to feel like spring is coming.
Leeks, carrots and raspberry canes next - plus we want to buy a plum and cherry tree.
Cheers Cath!

I weighed in this morning...2 lbs lighter than last Monday. My goal was to shed 5 pounds by April 30th so I have 4 weeks more to lose 2 pounds!
Breakfast: Rice Krispies with soy choc milk
Snack: small banana
Lunch: Tuna, corn and tomato
Afternoon snack none!
Dinnerrice noodles with a chicken breast and some frozen stir fry veggies and a chili & garlic sauce
Pre dinner I stole a half a grilled fishfinger from P's dinner
Dessert usual babyfood fruit puree
Snacks: a mint chocolate viscount biscuit (56 cals)
Water 60 oz so far, I will meet 70 target though.
Activites I WENT TO THE GYM! Burned 207 calories between bike,elliptical and rower.
Total Calories consumed: 1727
BMR 2320 plus 207 activities= 2527-500(weight loss)= budget of 2027. I consumed 1727 so I am under budget by 300 exactly (odd eh?) I will probably eat into this (no pun intended) as like I said above I am v v hungry !!

9am:
The end of a box of honeycomb cereal (60 calories)
Musselman's natural applesauce (50 calories)
12 noon:
Campbell's Soup at Hand, Classic Tomato (120 calories)
Fat Free Turkey Hotdog, cut up in the soup (45 calories)
Galaxy Veggie Parmesan, in the soup (30 calories)
3pm:
8 Club Snack Sticks (87 calories)
Galaxy Veggie Shreds, melted on top (I have on idea how many calories…the serving size is in ounces…anyone with a food scale figured up a calories per volume measurement? Or somebody with a better eye able to guess?) 
Kroger Brand Pizza Sauce, to dip (15 calories)
6pm:
1 can of tuna (60 calories)
2 Egg Beaters (60 calories)
2 Tbsp Low Fat Hellman Mayo (50 calories)
1 ½ cups of cooked cauliflower with ICBINB spray (45 calories)
2 ADB—it's so hard to eat just one! With Cool Whip Free (277 calories)
1825 BMR - 500 for weight loss= 1325 Food Budget
No real exercise today, spring break and the gym is closed.
I did change the oil in the car, and other maintenance type things though.
Water—good, 128 oz so far
Thus far, 899 calories + the whatever the veggie "cheese" would be.
Assuming the cheese wasn't too much, that leaves me about 400 calories under budget.
I usually have a little snack before bed too, so I don't wake up with my belly feeling so empty.
All in all, a pretty good day.

Mathematicians among you will note that my sums don't add up- I still have THREE pounds to lose. And the rate I am eating at today I will have an overall gain next week!

Well, I decided not to report the weekend since it is so hard to remember everything when Monday comes, plus then I would have had to tell you all about how many peanutbutter M&Ms I ate Sunday  But as of Monday I am back on the wagon. And I started counting calories on fitday, but I am not sure how accurate that is.
Breakfast - 1/2 grapefruit, 1 slice ww toast w/cherry preserves, 1 c soymilk w/fiber (261 cal)
Snack - Banana, coffee w/cream&sugar (264 cal)
Lunch - Pita chips w/hummus, carrots, grapes (640 cal)
Snack - dried cherries (not sure on cal - not listed on fitday)
Dinner - 4 scrambled egg whites w/chives, served in 2 small tortillas w/salsa, UFO. Unseetened applesause. (512 cal)
Excercise - 20 min on elliptical w/5 min each warmup and cooldown. Some crunches and ball excercises. Supposedly burned about 200 cal.
So fitday says my calories were 1662 (plus I will add 100 for the cherries) so 1762, minus the excercise is 1562. I am supposed to be around 1300 net calories, so I have some work to do. But I felt good yesterday.

Pre-Breakfast - graham crackers
Breakfast - oatmeal w/ maple syrup & rice milk
Snack - pretzels
Lunch - chicken sandwich on wheat bread and potato chips
Again I took a nap and woke up sick to my stomach , so I ate some pretzels.
Morning sickness in full swing ... I ended up chewing on a couple of ginger altoids to calm my tummy... which helped some. I had some oatmeal for dinner and got a stomach ache again, but at this point I was still so hungry, I made myself eat some oven fries. Tummy finally calmed a little by about 9:30 and I was hungry again, so I had some popcorn, which I'm happy to announce, went down very well and tummy stayed happy .
Water - hmmm... I lost track but I think I got in about 72oz.
Shell... I hope you're feeling better today!!! Just want you to know I really enjoy all of your replies to my reports!!! I think that's very sweet of you!

I love those kind of cookies! We have some cheap store brand that looks just like it and also Girl Scout cookies too, but not individually wrapped. I haven't had them since starting the diet though, but I do eat peppermint patties and make junior mint brownies.
It does look like a peer in the realm of biscuits! The best biscuits I have ever had were from the Chatsworth estate shop. They were oat flips and came in very handy when in Scotland and staying at a hotel instead of B&B. Those things were a very filling breakfast!

I do feel much better.... it was a combo of PMS/cramps/over training....who knew that was possible...I went a whole month straight without taking a day off from the gym and I was starting to fall asleep at my desk and driving home from work.... So, I took Sunday OFF and then have tried to get to bed an hour earlier this week...it is so hard though cuz by time I get home from the gym, have dinner, make my lunch for the next day, and watch a little TV it is time for bed.... I think I will start taking Sunday's Off.

Sorry not to have posted for a while, but frankly my diet has been appalling. Not helped by the stress of not having any work and rapidly running out of money.
I'm being kept sane (and actually very happy) by my lovely girlfriend, walking the puppy, enjoying my garden, watching the tadpoles grow (they are nearly ready to hatch) and going to yoga.
Life is good, if I could just get some work.
I'll start posting my diet as soon as I've got it a bit more sorted. I have started drinking water though and i feel loads better (I reallised that I have only been drinking round 1 cup a day for the last 4 months. I've now got up to 1 litre and have more energy). Should have listened to your advice earlier!!
