friday
checked the scales today, they say 74.4kg. i just can't understand how i've put on a kilo - and according to this only lost 600g for the whole of august.
b: porridge with skim milk
s: one fruche, one rivyta (been trying not to snack in the morning, but i'm feeling very tired and listless and the answer to that is food!)
walk to a shopping centre with a friend. slow as we always are when together - about one hour. i had to get a present for my niece anyway, so i don't mind.
l: lettuce, chickpeas, sml tin tuna (thought it was normal - i bought 6 tins yesterday as they were 99c each, but its got some tomato stuff in it - ick! have to eat it tho!), 2 rivytas with 2 slices tomato, 2 slices plastic lo fat cheese
walk to the shops while adam did karate - bargain food hunting 30 minutes
d: diet nestles creme caramel - yes, this isn't dinner. i just had it and its almost 10pm. i had some news today that kind of threw me way off...and kinda lost my appetite.

Saturday
b: porridge with skim milk
father / son football match to end the season. the parents won (just) but there was a lot of dads sitting on kids and kids piling up on hapless coaches - very fun morning i was goal umpire (for the first time) so i had to run around a bit and do the flag waving and goal and behind arm movements they had a sausage sizzle (naturally) so i had

Wednesday
well, i took the plunge and weighed myself, first time in a while - 71.7kgs! hooray to not weighing very often! its probably wrong or something, but i'll at least enjoy it for today
b: porridge with skim milk
went for a fast walk - 40 mins
in my efforts to save and plan better, i remembered i had some frequent flyer miles left on my credit card (cancelled). i happily redeemed 6 child movie tickets and 2 $20 store vouchers (for christmas pressies) but got a rude email back saying no go (presumably because the card is cancelled, although they still charge me fees!) bastardos!
l: sml tin tuna in springwater (think i'll go back to the oil ones after this - sure more cals but SO much nicer!), about a third of a cup of chickpeas, same of beetroot and lo fat cottage cheese, fresh coriander.
had an appt at 4pm with a doc, i waited until 4:30 then left! how slack. luckily i feel fine now anyway i ended up going to the nearby mall and getting my incredibly overlong daggy hair trimmed at just cuts - only $21!
d: mushrooms sauted with garlic - oh and i put in some chopped tomato - yum! 2 scrambled eggs
s: made some granola bars with : oats, flour, brown sugar, honey, vanilla and butter, dark choc chips. not exactly lo cal, but low GI. i'm having a piece to test it for son's lunchbox tomorrow
