A touch of luxury

Today was my last day of my egg extravaganza. Well, I'm taking a week off. 42 eggs in one week!
I decided to fancy it up a bit today & had some veg with my eggs. Parsley is a veg. Isn't it?

Breakfast



Now, lunch was about protein on protein - that pink stuff is salmon. I don't know why I've been scared to try it before 'cause it was quite nice.



Thursday nights are 'swimming' nights. DH & I take the kids up to the local pools for a swim. By the time we get back, it's just about bedtime for my ds, so dinner for DH and the kids is takeout whilst I get to chuck something together for myself.
Tonight's effort has some 'veg' in it too - can you see the green stuff? Parsely & Oregano! It's sort of a take on Dana Carpender's Heroin Chicken wings. On one hand I want more but on the other.....I'm full! (there were 16 pieces on my plate).



I'm off to donate blood in the morning. I'm hoping that they do a better job than they did last time. The fist sized bruise on my arm took 2.5 weeks to completely dissappear. I will be telling them about it tomorrow that's for sure!

* Waves Furiously*

I'm hopeless at this blogging caper!
It could be just as well, because it's been feeling like I've been eating the same things over and over again. Well, if you thought that previously, you should see what I'm having now!

For the last week, I've been having the same thing every day for breakfast & lunch - that is having scrambled eggs for breakfast & lunch! not dinner though - that would probably just be going a 'little' overboard. Oh, wait, I did have an omlette at the weekend - it had the same ingredients as some of my scrambled eggs! So here goes....

Breakfast
Just to prove how hopeless at blogging I am, I forgot to take a pic until I was 1/2 way through!



Lunch was more of the same - with a side of Ham.



Dinner: Left over roast pork from last night's dinner, cauli rice & brocoli. Not a good photo but there was steam poiuring off my plate!



I'm down to 72.5kg now - only 2.5kg off my original target weight of 70kg. When I was about 78kg I took a long hard look at myself & decided that 70kg probably wasn't going to put me where I wanted to be & that I was just going to see where I ended up. Not long after that the battery in my scale decided to start going flat - each time I turned them on, they would flash 66.3kg - so I took that as a sign. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of 'those' type of people (at least I think I'm not!), but it seemed like a good target. 70kg would have meant that I was only just on the cusp of a 'healthy weight' / 'overweight', being 66kg, means that my weight will be healthy - at least by BMI standards (which, truthfully, I don't hold as gospel).

Don't leave the camera on the table!

- You get your photo taken!



I digress, breakfast was the usual 3 fried eggs (in butter of course)



After my morning walk I felt like something sweet with my coffee, so I broke a bar of Atkins 'Milk Chocolate' in half and nibbled at that. The other half remains in the pantry for another day. The last time I had a whole bar & had some stunning stomach cramps for the remainder of the day - not going there again in a hurry.



Here's lunch. It would have looked more like a salad had the spinach I bought yesterday not been less than than prime. Still, it tasted alright when eaten with my fingers (and the poor kids get told off for eating their dinner with their fingers!).



& dinner: pretty self explanatory I would have thought. Oh, those 2 curvy things are the pork rind/fat off 2 other chops because 'they' don't like fat. 'Waste not want not' I say.



Now I've just wolfed down a bowl of berries too, so I'd better slap a pic of those in too I guess!

Long Time No See!

I figure that it's time for another update in the food department - not that food now looks any different from last month. Food is still food right!

Breakfast is pretty much always 3 eggs. Sometimes I have bacon too, but I find that with going for a walk in the mornings, the bacon doesn't sit too well in my tum.



Lunch - today I felt like something a bit different. Not exactly sushi, but it tasted pretty good anyway.



Dinner - whew, what a plateful! Normally, I don't have that much on my plate - I could have quite happily left the cauli off the menu tonight (or the beans), but seeing as I cooked it, I thought I had better eat it.



I'm still feeling peckish too....
