Have you ever looked at a gravestone? On it you will find the date a person was born - and the date that person died. In between is a dash. This small symbol signifies a persons whole existence. When it comes time for my dash to be chipped in, I want to know I lived a full and wondrous life.

Back on the track, Jack

Had a quiet-ish weekend but all is good. Sometimes, a quiet one is just what we need.


I am doing a much better job of working with my band. I feel great right now. My eating has been excellent and for some reason, the hunger I was feeling has abated too, meaning it's been easier to make good food choices. I even went for a nice long walk today. Whats not to like about that?


My diet today:  
.   Breakfast: 3/4 cup of porridge and a cup of white coffee, no sugar
              

.   Lunch: Poached egg on grain toast and a tblspn tomato sauce             


.   Dinner: 3/4 of a cup of pasta bake which is basically, cooked spiral          
pasta and lean mince mixed with a jar of ricotta/tomato pasta  
sauce and baked in the oven. An hour later I had a little scoop of ice-cream and one quarter of a thin waffle drizzled with golden syrup. Coffee to  
finish the night.


After all that good food I was curled up in an (untidy?) chair in the main area watching Master Chef this evening, and Mason got a snap of me looking full and content lol.





Hope you all had a great weekend,
Cara xx

    Wow, I feel like I eat twice as much as you do during the day. I'm hungry all of the time. I will have to look at moving up my second fill when I get back from my trip. Thanks for sharing. :)
