My diet, my way

[Razorbill]

Totally sympathise with the back to school blues, we're on week 4 now so back into the swing of things but it is really hard for the first few days. Will look out for your new rules and maybe pick up some ideas myself (God I want some chocolate now).

Wed 6th Sept

Target for the rest of this week is to be more organised with food! I'm struggling to prep lunches so I need to buy some ready made stuff that I can just pack and eat!

B - soya latte

L - left over chicken breast with ratatouille and parmesan

S - soya latte (forgot I had one this morning!!), 1/2 Apple (rest was stolen by my dd!)

T - baked potato, lentil stew, cauliflower
Lots of almonds, square of dark choc

I did eat a lot of almonds which will have bumped up the calorie count :/

Exercise: dog walk, P90 sweat DVD (30 mins) followed by abs DVD (10 mins)

Steps: 20800

I don't know, some people sleep better on low carb but I sleep better with slow release carbs in my belly (definitely does not apply to sugar!)

It's supposed to raise seratonin levels and reduce cortisol.

I think it's a case of experiment on yourself a bit to see if it helps
