1489 calories today. Not exactly the healthiest diet but it was yummy and needed.
1 slice of fruit bread with butter
1 slice of Leerdammer
Beetroot and horseradish soup
A packet of Wotsits
Mushroom and ale pie (like shepherds pie but no meat) with two Aunt Bessie's dumplings
3 small glasses of wine...well it has been a stressful day and it is the weekend:D

Mmmm this does sound yummy AJL . Not a bad calorie count either . Well done .
 
Thank you Mumpat 🙂 I enjoyed the food 🙂
 
Oh my yesterday was a "blip" of 2100 calories. Approximately 600 calories were wine!!!!
New day today so here's the plan:
1 slice of fruit bread with butter
Tomato soup
1 slice of Leerdammer
1 mousse
Mushroom fried rice
2 small glasses of wine
 
I hesitate to state the obvious, but if you cut back on the old vino collapso you'd be absolutely flying. Miserable, but flying 😉
 
I know Marsbartoastie. Wine (and other alcohol) is my Achilles heel when it comes to weight loss. I've been trying ever so hard but yesterday was just too difficult. But even on good days I couldn't be without my two small glasses of wine the evening - they genuinely are small glasses🙂.
 
I understand AJ. Really I do. I could cope without booze (if I absolutely had to). However, if anyone came between me and my chocolate I couldn't be held responsible for my actions 😉
 
Lol Marsbartoastie. Now I'm not so bothered about chocolate I probably eat chocolate no more than once every three or four weeks and if I do it's just normally a mini bag of chocolate buttons or a chocolate mousse. We must make sure that nobody takes away your chocolate and that nobody touches my wine 🙂

Let me tell you how bad it is. I can't have chocolate at home. If I have it, I eat it. I've tried not to, but the compulsion is too strong. I can't sleep if there's chocolate available. I just lay in bed thinking about it...then, of course, I get up and eat it. My ex often fancied something sweet in the evening and grew tired of there never being anything in the cupboard. One evening he arrived with a large cash box and a bag of goodies. He filled the box, locked it and put the key on his keyring. This was the only way he could guarantee himself a choccy treat at my place. 🙄
 
Just checking in to see how 'the challenge' is progressing? I'd hate you to think we've forgotten. 🙂
 
Marsbartoastie thank you so much for checking...it has been totally, humongously and utterly abandoned....Amanda runs and hides

I eat fairly low carb but my challenges are:
A) easily drinking several glasses of wine in the evening

We tend to work on a rule of no drinking except at the weekend, and then my husband decided that we were allowed a drink during the week if we are watching a programme that was recorded at the weekend, or it is Wimbledon and we have strawberries and cream, ... I am not very good at resisting. Still at least I know that I need a TBR reduction of 10% for a glass of wine (until that changes!!)

Not to worry AJ my lovely...we've all been there 🙂. Why not start again tomorrow?
 
Thank you for your encouragement Marsbartoastie but too much going on. Wine is my downfall when it comes to calories plus lack of exercise due to the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I haven't even had a taste of the cake that I made 🙂

In that case just let me know when you're 'up for it' again and I'll cheer you on. 🙂
 
Thank you very much 🙂
 
I've lost 2 stone since diagnosis but feel a bit of a failure that I can't seem to shift any more. It's so so hard when you're a foodie. Husband tells me the problem is the hole at the front end is bigger than the one at the rear! Such a charmer! 🙂 🙂
