Out of routine

It's going to be an odd one today. I have a funeral to attend, at which I'm singing. Food will be an after thought and not something that I have control over. I know it should be the last thing on my mind. There's a grieving family to think of. But I can't help being glad that I weighed in yesterday and have a whole week make back any over spend on calories that might happen.

The projected overspend didn't happen because I just didn't eat. We didn't go back to the house afterwards for food, so although I hadn't eaten all morning, by the time we got home, at about 4pm, what I ate was entirely under my own control. 

The top picture is what I had. Crispbread, tuna with onion and light mayo, some very low cal cheese triangles, anchovies (yum!) and rocket. It was the sort of meal that my other half thinks is a bit weird, but I like it. That and a big glass of my dark fizzy master. I added it all up in mfp and had enough cals over for a bowl of quorn chilli later on, as well as a few squares of dark choc with caramel and salt. 

TMM bought me that bar when he was coming home from work a few days ago. He knows my tastes so well. It was gorgeous! 

The picture below my food is what TMM had. Quorn chilli, with chips and cheese. Gorgeous, salty, tangy, vintage cheddar which tastes amazing melted over chilli. Unfortunately, I don't have enough cals in the bank to have cheese on my chilli, but I made my choice to have chocolate instead. And it was delish. I will admit to some plate envy when I saw TMM's food and compared it to mine. I'd never have been dissatisfied with what I was having if I hadn't seen his, But I just told myself that this week's loss of three and a half pounds was worth not eating his food. I could have had that sort of meal if I'd really wanted, as I had loads of cals to spend. But my lunch was just fine.

I'm feeling very buoyed up by the support from the FB group. It's nice to read about everybody else and how they're doing, whether they're happy with their efforts, or if they're struggling. Hopefully we all help each other along. Everyone has been nothing but encouraging. I think the fact that it's a secret group, so not just anyone can find it, is a good thing. It means that you need to be added by someone else. So everyone is sort of recommended. That sounds sort of exclusive, in the original sense of the word, but it's not really meant to be. 

I'm going to try to get up for a run in the morning. One of these days, it'll work :-) I'll keep going till it does.
