Ah, thanks for the advice, it's following good practice I’m finding so hard at the moment. To be honest if I had to plan life (meals even) to that extent I'd soon drop trying at all. It’d be too much of a downer. That said lunchtimes do not vary too much. Tin of soup, the odd whatever to help fill me up. But I do try to monitor the day as I go. But being busy I seem to suddenly realise I've not noted the last half day and have to quickly catch up.
Looking back on the last week it seems the usual pattern of being out of control at weekends and doing better in the week still applies. Partly because I'm not home most weekends, and once a fortnight is the one time I can meet old friends at the pub and socialise, so a few bevvies tend to push the intake way up those Saturdays.
But it's the weekdays that are disappointing at the moment. Maybe it's down to not being away from the Xmas influence yet. Unsure. True, I am having toast more often in the morning, because I consider porridge and twice as often think, "No", rather than thinking, "Yes". So not the best of starts. But the figures show that most "damage" is done on the evening. I really need to get that under control. I snack because I come in hungry and can't/won't wait for food. Then I seem to prepare more calories than I'm expecting it to be. And not noting down immediately but finishing the evening meal and then checking what leeway I have left for a drink, I'm tending to find I’m already over the top.
Ho hum, I'm sure it'll be sorted soon.
