Challenge 1 - Day 4 & 5

Ok so things have been better!  I am just going to lay down the fact now though that I'll not be hitting my exercise target.  With starting the new job and being so exhausted from that, I didn't put any pressure on myself about that.  I am planning to go to spin in the morning though, and I'm hoping that will kickstart my exercise again.

So Day 4.....

After an embarrassingly bad Day 3, I reralised I have to pull myself together and get my head round this again.  I didn't find it that difficult first time round, so why am I finding it hard all of a sudden!  So today i was a very good girl.  When the coffee trolley came round, there were slices of cake and I completely ignored them :D And I managed 8.5 portions of F & V - go me!

B - Protein pancake with banana and maple syrup
S - 100g strawberries & 100g red grapes
S - Activia fat free cherry yoghurt
L - Sandwich with 2 slices whole grain bread with tuna and red onion and 5g of light mayo
S - 15g raw peanuts
S - 2 clementines & Granny Smith apple
D - Pad Thai including a whopping 200g prawns!
S - 2 squares G & B mint chocolate

Drinks - 2.5l water, 2 mugs black  coffee and 2 green teas

Day 5....

Now I'm making an effort again I seem to have loads of spare calories, also due to the fact I changed my loss to 0.5lb a week.  I might change that back to 1lb a week next week but I'll see how it goes.

Given I had loads of spare cals, I decided I would have my calorie counted cheat meal tonight and treated myself to a chinese takeaway.  it was so beautiful and totally worth the naughtiness.  Now I am going to behave myself all weekend!

For the purpose of my food diary I had to try and use values of chinese food that i thought sounded similar to what I had so it may not be entirely accurate....

B - Porridge with semi-skimmed milk & cinnamon
S - 100g strawberries & 100g red grapes
