So I have small story to tell about yesterday's lunch. I was starving all morning and really fancied a french baguette so I was going to go to Waitrose and buy one of their yummy french baguettes, some ham and lettuce and some salad creme. Yum yum yum went my tum! But my hips and self determination said NO. So I stopped and went to Marks and Spencer's to get a healthy salad or some of their really good sushi range. Man oh man was I disappointed. The only sushi they had available was their snack pack which is tiny, veggie and £1 so really not alot to it and everything else was sandwiches or really high calorie salads. I was not best pleased and all this time I was getting hungrier and hungrier. I then went to look at their "Fuller for Longer" range (which is very good) but again high in calories for a lunch. So I was getting really annoyed... all the sandwiches just looked really boring and plain especially as I was really hungry.
I was running out of patience and time so in the end I got a coronation chicken sandwich a packet of crisps and a natural lemonade (all in the meal deal) and a chocolate bar. Do you know how many calories were in all of that.... 1169 calories.
Today I had my normal lunch of a whole can of soup (today had Chunky Pork, Bean and Tomato) with some Weight Watchers Oat and Wheat Crackers spread with low fat soft cheese and Onion and Chive Cottage Cheese followed by an apple and washed down with some water... do you know how many calories was in all of that... 407. Makes you think doesn't it. The funny thing is I felt really full afterwards, satisfied and I'm not going to lie and say it was the most amazing meal ever but it was more tasty than my sandwich especially seeing as it is lower in calories and I was left feeling satisfied after!
The more annoying things is that I was so annoyed that I used so many of my RDI and didn't even enjoy it that it left me in a bad mood when it came to dinner. I actually cooked myself something and then took 1 bite and threw it away as just didn't want it. I did however eat the ear of corn I had cooked and that was yummy! At the end of it...lesson is defo learnt!
