Bored of Soup

Got on the scales this morning and guess what I saw... 203lbs!! Whoop Whoop! Back to my starting weight from last week. Hopefully it will keep on going down! Not getting on the scales again now until Monday as not at home tonight so can't look in the morning and I tend to not look at the weekends.

 

Normally at work I have soup with some crackers and light cheese(or now cottage cheese) with a yogurt or something for lunch .. but today I just really really didn't want it so instead went to Marks and Spencers and bought some low fat prawn cocktail to have with a pita. Now I ate all the cocktail as I am not in the office tomorrow and am not going to throw it away. But it amazes me how quickly you rack up calories without really eating anything. Now I did also have two snack size chocolates as I really really craved some and to be honest it was a mistake because as soon as I had one I regretted it as I wanted more... as in the whole bag. So I then had a yogurt to take away the taste which so far has worked! This is what I had for lunch and look how many calories I had (Calories in Red):

In this fab cookery book I was given for my birthday it recommend if you want to lose weight to eat 1500 calories and then broke it all down to what you should eat and when. The book is really good its called the Italian Diet but it isn't a diet in the sense of loosing weight for a certain amount of time but is talking about actually adjusting your diet to the Italian way of food. The book has so many great recipes in it and I can not wait to start cooking them when we are in the flat. Anyway as you can see I went over the recommended amount to eat for lunch. I really want to try and stick to 1500. Should be easy enough but as usual I need to bring down my alcohol limit!

One other thing I did today which I think is ingenious was that I froze my Frommage Frais to give me frozen yogurt! I had one today at lunch and it was so good as just as tasty but you take your time over it and lasts alot longer. Bang.. there is a good idea!
