It’s Monday and started pretty much like other work day. As I did the previous two times I did this, I will drink tea and coffee at work because that’s all provided / available and I don’t pay for it. So by 1pm, I’d had two cups of tea and two of coffee which is pretty standard, but was getting hungry…
I had one slice of toast and half my daily portion of cottage cheese that is weighed out last night. I thought I could easily have two slices of toast, but that I’d still be hungry later so had just one for now then I’ve got one ‘free’ for later.
I’m working this evening so came home early afternoon and, while reading through some papers for a meeting I’m at tomorrow, snacked on my daily cereal portions but stopped after I noticed I was doing it quite mindlessly and, while enjoying it, didn’t want to ‘waste’ the food. I had a cup of hot green tea with lemon – better than I expected as I’d never usually have this, but pleased I’ve got honey which I’ll have a spoonful of in the tea as the week goes on I think!
Tea was 100g of pasta (I usually weigh rice for meals but never weigh pasta, but this has to last me 5 meals) with half a tin of sardines, half a tin of baked beans, a carrot and a spoonful of tinned tomato juice.
I have some carrot sticks and 2 custard creams ‘left’ which I did eat on my way home after my evenings work – did I need them or was it because they were there…? I had a cup of green tea and a small glass of lemonade when I got home; I’m feeling ok, but already a little bored of my choices, wondering what I could have switched out – maybe no honey (if I’d known the tea would be fine without) then I could have had bananas… Hindsight is a beast…
