Yesterday's stats

Morning!

Very bad night's sleep last night. I had a cold just before Christmas and I'm still quite congested, it makes getting to seep very difficult, so much for getting up early to go to the gym! Still, the boy is still in bed too without having had a cold so I'm not the only lazy one!

I'm not back at work until next Monday so hopefully I'll get this congestion gone and my proper sleeping pattern back before then!

So yesterday we went over to see my Nan and parents. It meant that instead of the salad I had planned I had oxtail soup instead.

I did make the avocado pasta though, although without a blender it was more lumps of avocado with pasta, but it was still delicious. Had a mammoth salad with it also, consisting of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot and balsamic vinegar.

Breakdown:

Breakfast - 305.4 kcal (19.4%)
Lunch - 84 kcal (5.3%) (not enough for lunch I know, but I was caught off guard so went with the option I thought was best)
Dinner - 1097.8kcal (69.7%) (very high, due to the avocado and the amount of pasta I had)
Drinks - 86.7kcal (5.5%)

Total - 1574.1kcal

Number of portions of fruit & veg - 8.5
Carbs - 42.6%
Protein - 21.2%
Fat - 61.2%

Overall a good first day I think. Obviously ideally the distribution would be a bit more even but not having a big lunch meant we had an earlier than usual dinner, which is I think a good habit to get into. The fat content is high due to the avocados but as they are deemed a 'healthy' fat I'm not going to worry too much about that.

Today I'll be doing some studying (I'm taking my GCSE Biology again :)), we have a flat viewing (our current landlady is selling up - the joys of renting!) and I may hit the gym. If I don't do the latter, I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I am aiming to do the gym 3 times a week and I have achieved that already over the last week. It might be a good idea to get a little fresh air in though and have a walk outside. The weather isn't looking as bright and fresh as yesterday but it doesn't appear to be raining - winner! Think it will help with the congestion!

The food plan today is shaping up as follows:

Breakfast - 2 boiled eggs, 2 slices toast with butter
Lunch - Salad made with beetroot, goats cheese and romaine lettuce (once again, inspiration taken from here)
Dinner - This (quite nervous about trying this, as I've attempted to make healthier curries before using yoghurt and it's curdled - not very nice at all, I think the key is to add it slowly, I'll let you know how it goes!)

As mentioned before, I use this site to help me with my weight loss, tracking my food and general support.

Right, let's get this day going!
