Many a Tuesday night has involved a food binge. Tuesday nights tend to involve going out for drinks with friends - and when I get home I eat everything I can find. Tonight however, I made sure I ate before I went out (so as not to be hungry), and drove so I couldn't drink. I had 3 diet cokes (not ideal, but better than the alternatives!), and completely passed on the free malteasers going around!
Today's Food:
All-bran with light soy milk
1 cup green tea
1 cup black tea with light soy milk
1 banana
Handful of cherry tomatoes
Half-punnet of Strawberries
Veggie burger with salad (lettuce, baby spinach and rocket)
3 rice crackers with vegemite (B12!!!)
Mandarin
Handful of almonds
Handful of sultanas
Handful of goji berries
Red lentil and chickpea soup (Mum made this one - quite nice!)
Air-popped popcorn
3 diet-cokes
Kiwi fruit
About 6000kj, or 1500cal
This is probably more than I'd ideally like to be consuming, but I met a lot of my iron and protein needs, which is great.
Exercise
40 min walk outdoors to do some fruit/veg shopping
1 hr step class (aerobics, high intensity cardio and toning!)
Although not the greatest day (scales back up to 57.3kg today), certainly not as bad as even a week ago! Also getting excited about a weeks holiday in 2 weeks time - especially after finding out that I won't be the only person opting to eat healthy! One friend is a long-term vegetarian, and two others have been recently deciding to become healthier! Having others with similar food goals to me (vegan or not) will be really beneficial to keeping myself on track and not gaining a hundred kilos in a week!
