Hooray…a lovely nights sleep and don’t I feel better for it!! It makes such a difference; I’ve had lots of energy today this has made the day so much easier and enjoyable! Had so much running around to do which was great as hardly stopped and didn’t need to!
Sue wrote a message on my blog yesterday about needing some carbs, sorry I forgot to add in my salad I did have 4 new potatoes in with it!! So hopefully that’s good enough. I did feel hungry by the time I had my lunch because I didn’t take any snacks with me to eat about 11am. I must remember to put a box of nuts in my bag for emergencies!
Went out in the evening to a Greek Restaurant for my mum’s birthday. I wasn’t driving so thought I would probably have a glass of wine, but I surprised myself and didn’t and actually wasn’t really that fussed about it! Is this another hurdle I’ve crossed?? We had a great time, a bit cheesy, but the best thing is I know I won’t be waking up with a fuzzy head!
It’s really funny, we were allowed to introduce dairy back into our diet this week, but I think I’ve only had a couple of cups of tea with milk in and that’s about it. Just goes to show you can make do without. Mind you to save time tomorrow I have made a fish pie with double cream and mashed potato. I really didn’t want to make myself a separate one so have had the cream in it but put sliced potato on one half instead of the mash with cream and butter in it….that’s ok isn’t it???
Me….

We decided on a delicious brunch today to keep us feeling fuller for longer as we knew we wouldn’t be eating to much later than normal this evening...and it worked a treat! This is why it is so important to choose protein foods as they are satiating, which is one of the reasons why diets some people like the high protein Atkins diet.
I did notice that last night I felt a bit bloated again, something I have not had since starting this programme, and I am wondering if it is a side effect of eating the cottage cheese yesterday. I tried just a little bit today to see how I feel tonight and I have to say that I am noticing a bit of discomfort again, but not a s much as last night. I will not have any dairy tomorrow (except for the yoghurt) and see what happens then.

Yes Pear, it is good for you to be trying more dairy in your diet now as we want to see if this has any negative effects on you. By having the alternative topping you have cut down on the calories you are having from saturated fat, and of course, we don't want to have too much of this in our diets. Remember though, we are not calorie counting, just trying to eat healthily to give ourselves the best possible fuel so that we have enough energy to exercise and get through are busy days!
The other thing here that is fantastic is that you have made your own fih pie rather than buying a ready made one, so you know exactly what is in it and you have adapted it to be a healthier version, meaning that you can be confident you have made a choice that will help you achieve your goal...and you can thoroughly enjoy eating it!
