My October food diary

[FurrySlipperBoots]

Sorry Mumsnet, this isn't going to make interesting reading! I just want to use the forum as an online diary so that I'm sort of 'held accountable' for what I'm eating. I've lost a couple of stone already this year but I'm still about a stone overweight. My initial target is to be 10 stone by 1st November. I'm 10.7 at the moment. I'm hoping to get by with less than 1400 cals a day.

I've had no exercise AGAIN today!! I haven't really sat down all day though, been tearing round cleaning and organising. Now lockdown's over real life has stepped in, and there's just no time or energy left for workouts!

19th October -

Lunch: Pasta salad - 450
Cake bar - 100

Dinner: Broccoli - 100
Pesto - 200
Cheese - 100
Yoghurt - 50
Cake bar - 100

Total: 1100

I've actually had some exercise today! Spent about 40 minutes in the sea.

20th October -

Snack: 2 x chocolate caramel biscuits - 300

Lunch: tomato and basil soup - 200
Cake bar - 100

Dinner: Pea and mushroom risotto - 600

Total: 1200

I am so full I could literally explode! Weighed myself earlier and I'm still 10.4, so only lost 3lbs all month! It's not surprising really what with how little exercise I've had (although I had another 40 mins in the sea this am!) but I am a bit disappointed. Oh well, another 10 days to go.
