Today has been a bit tougher, food wise, than I would have liked. Despite my planning in advance yesterday, I accidentally ended up going over my calorie allowance. So yeah, the plan-fest? Not such a success as the day before. Totally my own fault of course. I adjusted the recipe for my chicken stew, added some spuds, which added calories and swapped the thighs out for breast, which subtracted some. Then I ate the stew with the old calculations still in place on my food tracker . The result was 150 cals over.
Obviously, since I'm weighing myself in the morning, I wanted to be careful not to go over today. Add to that, ideally, I wanted to make up for going over yesterday. So could I eat 150 less today? I started out badly by eating the rest of the stew as a late brunch. It meant I wasn't hungry again till about 7pm, but it was almost as cal heavy as if I'd gone out for a fry up! Okay for a main meal, but hardly a great start to the day. TMM and I went out for coffee in the afternoon since we didn't go out for breakfast and I had a toady-tiny bar of dark chocolate (135 cals worth) to avoid the deprived feeling I'd get if he had a bun and I didn't. That just left me enough for some carrot and coriander soup if I wanted to save 150 cals. It's after 9pm now, so I might make it to bed time without eating more. If not, at least I have a fresh pot of red pepper soup on the hob.
It's after 10.30pm and I've avoided having extra soup, so I saved the calories that I wanted to. I am going to bed a little hungry. I hope I get a good result at the scales in the morning to remind me that it's worth the effort.
