Another not bad day today. I'm still so high on carbs - that is something I never fully got to grips with last time, I just don't seem to able to get my carbs down to where I'd like them to be ( about 1g per 1kg weight, so about 120g ish a day) but I can improve on where they are at now, so definitely something for me to work on.
So before I talk about the week, here's todays food:
B - Breakfast Pancake with banana & maple syrup
S - 3 Nairns Fruit & Spice oat biscuits (if you haven't tried these, you must, they are incredible!)
L - 2 slices wholegrain toast and 3 boiled eggs
S - Granny Smith apple
D - Vietnamese Chicken Noodle soup
S - 50g fresh pineapple
S - Handful of plain peanuts
S - 1 slice wholegrain toast with raspberry jam (emergency snack as am starving!!)
Am also going to have a hot chocolate for supper as I have had a migraine all day and hope it will help me sleep.
Drinks - c 2l water, 2 large mugs black coffee and 1 mug green tea

Challenge Report!
So I didn't exercise at all this week, so immediately failed! However, I am not so bothered about that as I knew this wasn't a good week for me to be trying to get back into exercise as I started a new job and generally had lots of things on. However, I managed my 5 F & V every day (I think!!) and my 2l of water, and I stayed within calories every day and actually am a whopping 440 calories under in total for the week.
What I did acheive was to refocus my mind on why I began healthy eating and how much better it is than the alternative. It made me feel good and I want to get back there again, and I don't think I made a bad effort for week 1!
And, I lost 1lb which I am chuffed about, especially since I weighed in this morning on the day my period started which generally makes me weigh a bit more than usual.
Watch out for this weeks challenge, to be reported tomorrow :D
Well done Jildo! You have done so well, keep up your good work! I'll be using you for my inspiration next week, I failed miserably for this weeks challenge but will post in the morning.
