Tuesday 1st November

Following the beginning of the week yesterday, it is now the beginning of the month.. why do we get inspired by the beginning of something? The beginning of something new I can understand, but the beginning of the week, which is very similar to the beginning of the week before and the week before that, is it really that new and exciting? That said, I know from expereince that if I fail to start a new diet on a Monday, I will generally decided that even Tuesday is too late for me to start, and that I had better start next week. Even today, the beginning of the month, is inpiring me. Maybe it is the thought of failing so soon, and then once you have started and put the effort in it is not worth failing? We will see...

Lunch today: Smoked salmon and cream cheese rice cakes


Calorie Count: 430
Smoked salmon (132 Cal); Cream cheese (148 Cal); Rice Cakes (150 Cal)

Dinner: Tuna and Sweetcorn sandwich



Calorie Count: 325

Not a classic evening meal, but I was at the football last night. Rather than getting there and eating a burger and chips, I decided that a quick sandwich on route would prevent me eating more than I should.

Total for the day: 905

(inlcuding the above largly fish based options, plus an estimated 150 Calories in afternoon snack ricecakes amd cream cheese), and unfortunately watching sport isn't quite the same as doing...
