Argh — I am so bloody frustrated at the lack of GOOD natural light in this house! All my pictures from today came out so terrible. I’m really, really annoyed. I’m going to investigate setting up a lightbox just so I can take photos that aren’t so damn awful! I suppose winter is frustrating like that – the morning light isn’t strong enough to reach the table, and at night, there is no sun and my house is quite dark (and yellow-tinted). Boooo! I am so annoyed! Oh well.
I’m going to work back through the past few days of food in the following posts… I’ll datestamp them to reflect the actual dates.
Anyway. On with the show.
Breakfast this morning looked uh-may-zing … until I took it out of the pan, and it totally crumbled into a million pieces! And then my photo came out blurry, so really it’s a big fail. It tasted brill though, and kept me full for hours and hours. Enter: corn, zucchini, tomato, and red capsicum “fritatta” (aka mess), topped with reduced fat feta which, because you were asking, pretty much tastes like rubber – and resembles it texturally, as well! I’m reverting back to regular feta next week… stuff the extra calories. The banana & almond butter became my mid-morning snack as I was totally stuffed after the eggy scramble. I had a cup of tea with skim milk & 1tsp sugar with breakfast, too.

I was reading blogs this morning and someone (I can’t remember who!) had made ricepaper rolls for lunch, so I knew I had to do the same. I don’t put noodles in my ricepaper rolls, so it saves a bundle of calories. Instead, I stuffed mine with avocado, iceberg lettuce, carrot, and cucumber, and dipped in hoisin sauce. They were super delicious and you can expect to see part two tomorrow, as I really need to keep my intake to a minimum tomorrow as I’ll be going out for dinner. I had the leftover carrot & cucumber on the side.


For afternoon snack I had this Gippsland wildberry organic yoghurt – just half a tub – with Sanitarium granola clusters. These are soooooo yummy, but at 210 cals per serve, kind of hefty… so I have a half serve for 105 cals. Perfect for topping yoghurt!

Whilst I was cooking dinner tonight I had a plate of vegies and medium-spicy salsa. I cut up way too many vegies for dinner, so my tummy was a pretty good place for them.

And dinner was simple… pork fillet with caramelised red onion, zucchini, tomato, garlic potatoes, and extra (totally unneeded) steamed veg. Again, blurry pic. I is soz.

I would sell my firstborn child for some icecream right now, which is odd because I’m not really an icecream person much. But, I’m trying to be healthy, so if I can hold off on the craving for a week, Rhys has promised me icecream next Thursday… nevermind the fact we were meant to be getting icecream tomorrow after dinner! But oh well
