I knew today was going to be difficult. Firstly, the day was so full there was no chance of squeezing in any exercise - making that 3 out of the last 4 days not at the gym! I usually make it 6 times a week, so only 4 this week was quite depressingly. Secondly, I was having lunch at a friends place for a welcome-back gathering. My limited food self-control made me anxious about this. However, all things considered I don't think i fared too badly.
My slip ups were:
I brought some of the split-pea soup I made last week for some lunch (I was told chicken would be provided - no thank you!), which I ate before I went. However, when lunch came around, one of my friends had bought a batch of pumpkin soup. She had previously shared her soup recipe with me, and I knew that she didn't use anything other than veggies really! So I had a little bit - not much, but having a bowl in front of me stopped me from going for the nachos! She kindly informed me after I finished her soup that she used quite a bit of butter (the way my stomach feels at the moment confirms that!). I also ate a couple of small pieces of some honey comb that another friend had made. Justified a tiny bit because it was homemade so I was able to find out all the ingredients :P
Yet despite all that - still on 57.5kg today.
Today's Food:
All-bran with lite soy milk
3 cups green tea
Banana
Split-pea and veggie soup
Small bowl pumpkin soup (not a good idea in hindsight)

Half-punnet of strawberries
2 handfuls goji berries

Although I'm not completely happy with today's food intake, it could have been much worse, and really, when I look back at it - it was more a problem with quantities.
But as long as I can have a good week - which I'm fairly confident of - the goal is to get down under the elusive 57kg mark!
