Thank you for the idea with the pedometer Margaret I might consider it.
I have been doing ok, I can clearly see when I am the hungriest from my food diary and I have started to tackle this. Today I ate a banana at breakfast instead of the melon I usually eat. It means more calories but it also meant I felt full and happy until lunch time and didn't have a growling tummy by the time I had a lunch break.
Today, because I want to have dinner with my boyfriend, I will go swimming instead of dancing. I am going now-ish, after finishing to do some work (and some leisure
) on the computer so that I have time yto cook a nice meal.
For the days I can't or don't bring my own food I have found an excellent store: organic planet! It is just across the street from my department in uni and for 4 pounds you can eat a healthy varied mix of food and salads. I will definitely eat there whenever I can't pack my lunch.
Yesterday I did well on the 5 o clock but had the sugar shakes at 8 and had a cookie and a piece of banana cake. I have been monitoring my calories and I seem to eat about 1300 cals if I didn't eat sweets and crap, and my total in the end is 1700. This is not bad, although ideally I would like to keep it below 1500.
Oh yeah and my water has been really good, I think I have solved that problem.
Tonight we will eat some white fish (probably Cod), I am still fighting with myself about the side dish. It will be something veggie, but I am nto sure what, I might go through my recipes and find something beautiful and new!
