Okay, so I’m a REALLY bad food blogger at the moment. Doing another catch up 🙂 so you’ll have to excuse me if I forget what I’ve eaten or don’t have photos. I’m also a bad “health” food blogger  as you will see….

Friday….breakfast – marmalade on toast

Morning snack – green smoothie while watching one of Val’s live Red Carpet Ready chats.

Lunch – salad with rice balls and hummus

Afternoon snack – Cheese (with spring onions) on crackers

Dinner at Gold Class movies – shared dip platter and brushetta, hot tea, and ice cream sundae.

 

SATURDAY I was a good girl and did my workout first thing. I then enjoyed a green smoothie.

Breakfast = cheese and pineapple on toast

Lunch was at book group. Today we had the most delicious cheese empanadas made by Lucy’s Dad. I had 3!! So bad for you but SOOOO delicious.

Later I ate one of my choc nut bars. When I got home around 4.30pm we had a party to celebrate my pups birthdays – which were a few days ago.

There was this..

this…

and of course, cake – lemon syrup.

I ate enough that I deemed this dinner. Later we had something – might have been ice cream….

 

SUNDAY – Breakfast – pancakes with lemon and sugar.

Lunch – Minestrone soup

Dinner – Leftover rissoto

And too much else nibbled on throughout the afternoon and conveniently not photographed.

 

MONDAY

Breakfast – a leftover pancake…

Lunch – Red quinoa with rice balls and falafel

Afternoon snack – protein crisps

Dinner involved some fresh peas – need to buy more next time… Everyone liked them – even the pea hater Kevin!

The meals inlcuded half a vegetable snitzels, baked potatoes, capscium and onion, corn cob, fresh peas and snow peas. Delicious!!!

For supper we tried some of these cookies Mum bought back for us.

Kevin loved them but they were a little too spicy/gingery for me.

 

Sorry I’ve been remiss in my posts the last few days. Lets just say they haven’t been the most stellar as far as healthy foods go. So I’m going to do a quick catch up for Wed and Thursday.

Wednesday started out we me skipping my workout!. I had planned to go but instead it went into the too hard basket. Instead I had some tea and cruskits with spreadable cheese.

Breakfast was a wholegrain crumpet with some of honey I got from Mum. I’d really been feeling like this but didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

I ended up going shopping for clothes (since they were on sale in Target) and was very happy to get a pair of jeans that fit :-). Certainly takes away the pressure to fit into my current jeans before our trip – it was starting to stress me out somewhat. Before leaving I picked up a skim iced chocolate from Gloria Jeans – which I drank in the car on the way home. As you can see it was cold, wet and windy day.

With the weather so yuck I needed something warm for lunch – leftover pasta – how easy was that!

I’ve conveniently forgotten what I snacked on in the afternoon.Though I did have a bowl of homemade Minestrone soup.

Dinner was Amy’s favourite – Pumpkin cannelloni (made as a lasagne) and some corn.

Thursday breakfast was cheese on toast. I only ate one piece.

When the rain stopped the dogs and I headed out on an hour long walk, arriving home just after the rain started again. Time for a green smoothie – haven’t had one for a few days as I was out of spinach.

Lunch was a sweet bean burrito wrap. Always delicious.

Once again, we won’t talk about afternoon snacks but there was another Gloria Jeans skim iced chocolate consumed while Christy was at singing lessons. Dinner was Sweet Potato Rissoto.

And supper was a half key lime cookie (bought from Gloria Jeans) and the rest of the rocky road. The cookie was as delicious as it sounded in the shop :-).

As you can see it’s not been all bad but not the best either. I’ll keep plodding onwards….
