This morning the scale showed 180.6. I'm going to start a graph to show my progress, I think. (Such a geek)
Last night's supper was a stew with lean beef and kamut. Never cooked kamut before, but I really liked the light crunch that it had even though it was soft on the inside. I think I put a bit too much smoked paprika in the stew for the boy's liking, however. Won't go so heavy on that next time, and I think it would have been a more interesting stew had there been more root veggies in it, and a bit more liquid. I'll play around with that, I think. Might even try one with chicken in it after we do the slaughter.
Had one small drink last night - vodka and tonic - and a small handful of popcorn. I really wanted to go behind the bar and grab the almond clusters, but I was able to hold back and be good. Will get sugar, etc, at the shower.
Breakfast this morning:
2 full eggs and 3 egg whites, scrambled
1 banana
bit of pumpkin seeds - need the fat! These are high in fat and not as much fibre as I had thought. Was surprised about that, actually.
For lunch, I will eat some left over stew.
Snack will be an orange, I think, and a piece of cheese. I'll cut and measure an ounce and see how much that is.
Not sure what I will be having for supper tonight. I'm supposed to be playing golf, but I will not be doing so if the rain keeps up. Not interested. I have a bit of chicken breast in the fridge, so I will likely make a salad for supper.
