Realization (Day 4)

You want to know something? I LIKE CARBS. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!! Can't help thinking about them even simple things like bread looks and sounds absolutely delicious.

Normally I find it tougher to curb the carb cravings in the evening...that is why I try to sleep earlier! ha ha

Good news is even though I do suffer from time to time (every other minute) from massive cravings, I have not given in yet. Must say I wouldn’t mind a cup of brewed coffee too. I believe a cup of decaf coffee is fine. In fact, I went to get myself a bottle. But black isn't my cuppa...yes I know I'm a big baby, needs lots of milk in my coffee!! Pats down the black bitter shivers.

Daily summary
Breakfast – Hardboiled eggs with mayo and bacon bits. This was lovely, should have added a dash of herbs or paprika.

Tasty, tasty, tasty.....yum to the last bite.

Lunch – Leftover fish (from dinner)
Snack – Cucumber
Dinner – Pork patties with mayonaise.

Exercise – Brisk walk
Other comments – Was feeling great walking in the fresh morning air. But was a little sluggish while I was preparing breakfast – think I needed some food. Tummy looks a little less bloated. Good sign and encouragement!! Yeaa...h

Who says food can't be fun and entertaining....

A silly funny face, prompted by Master Prince.

And another!!! That's all....was too full and couldn't eat drawany more.

On track (Day 3)

Am I? Well I am in the third day of the program. Got up a little late for my morning walk and had to cut one round short or be late for work.

Daily summary
Breakfast – Bacon (I know I seem to be consuming a little too much of these salty babes but my original plan of having hard boiled eggs was foiled when I discovered that my MIL had given away my fresh eggs so lag of time and choice, I fell back to the most convenient item and what I have in the fridge!!) Its quite a rush in the morning getting the food together before rushing out the door to work. Master Prince seems to enjoy my food (well on the part of the bacon and sausages. Told him I’ll fix him some bacon sandwiches tomorrow).
Lunch – Tuna with light spicy mayo and cucumber slices, see pix.

Must confess the Ayam brand tuna was quite tasty, not to mention very convenient too!

Snack – Seaweed
Dinner – Pan-fried fish, marinated with some curry powder for the ‘extra’ fiery flavour!!
Exercise – Brisk walk
Other comments – Can’t quite rely on my weighing machine but my pant which was very tight fitting last week fitted slightly better today. However, I started out feeling a little sluggish…could it be Monday blues?

Finally, waist measurement – drum roll….77 cm or 30 inches. Hope to reduce the number as I progress. Think I need to add in some sit ups into my exercise regime too!!

Spices & herbs
By adding a little spice and/or herb, you can totally change the same dish – so that's my tip for the day. Eating the same thing may get monotonous and utterly boring. To avoid this, adding a little oregano or paprika can change the taste of a dish and make it very refreshing and exciting and more importantly, NEW!

Here is what I had for dinner….for a non-fish eater. As it was not 'fishy', I enjoyed it and am giving it the big thumbs up!!

Seasoned with a little salt and curry powder and pan fried with some curry leaves. Easy isn't it? Serve it with a squeeze of mayonaise on the side.

A filling and very satisfying meal with zero carbs!
