The weather is gorgeous today. It has been since the weekend, and I'm feeling good. I really want to stick to a few cals less today. Last night's meal out and Sunday's new recipe might have had me slinking under my allowance by the seat of my pants, so it would be good to have a couple of hundred calories in hand. But it doesn't feel as if I will have a problem being well behaved, food-wise anyway, today. I'm feeling very organized since my groceries were delivered on Sunday. I haven't actually set foot inside the supermarket in over a week, so there's been a lot less temptation to buy stuff I don't need, that will just ramp up my calorie consumption.
Well, I ended up going to the supermarket after all, to buy a cabbage and some uber light mayo. I decided on baked potatoes for dinner and wanted to make low fat coleslaw. Half a white cabbage, shredded, a large carrot, grated, half an onion, grated and 100g of very low fat mayo made a large amount of 'slaw, of which I ate a full half. And it was only about 140 cals for my portion. Two medium sized potatoes, approx 365g, including skin, baked with no butter, about 350 cals, and some baked beans with garlic, smoked paprika and smoked bacon, about 400 cals, meant I stayed about 100 cals below my allowance for the day. It was a heavy enough evening meal, calorie wise, but lots of good stuff and really satisfying. There are bits and pieces left over that I'll probably eat tomorrow after the class.
