Day 27 - Taking a break for the day!
I could barely wake up this morning. Obviously my body's reaction to my big weekend was kicking in. So my morning walk was forgotten in an attempt to get half an hour more sleep. Breakfast also went by the wayside. There was no time for more that a few mouthfuls of coffee. But I did buy some muesli...

Days 25 & 26 – Weekend nibbles
This weekend the weather was wonderful, sunny and warm and the perfect weather for the beach. My friend and I took some champagne down to the beach on Saturday afternoon, and then went back to her place for a dinner of nibbles. Cheese, biscuits, salsa, cornchips; none of it was diet material, but my...

Day 24 – Walking together
Thank goodness there was no rain, so I went for my walk this morning. Have you ever noticed that spring brings out the walkers in the neighbourhood? I follow two or three different routes depending on my mood and, depending on which way I've gone, I see the same people at the same time of day. We...

Day 23 – Walk cancelled due to rain
Although the sun was shining when I woke up, the rain was still coming down and, once again, I didn't go for my morning walk. I did do half an hour of weights though, so all was not lost. I get a certain satisfaction from using weights and working different areas of my body. After a few weeks I can...

Day 22 – Diet? What Diet?
I woke up to the sound of harsh rain pelting against my bedroom window. There was no way I was going to go for my usual morning walk before breakfast. I’m not stupid! So I measured myself instead and I’ve stayed the same since last week. No weight gain, but no more weight loss either. My diet was...

Day 21 – Places where not to eat!
The University Computer Lab is probably right up there in the top five, but that’s exactly where I ate dinner tonight. I was helping a friend with her assignment, making graphs from statistics, when we realised that it was past dinnertime and we were starving. So she left me fiddling with the graphs...

Days 19 & 20 - Salad Days
Well, my diet is gradually going back to normal, although I’ve added more fruit and salads to my daily intake. It’s the time of year for salads; I eat little else in spring and summer. Salad for me is a mixture of whatever is on hand. Lettuce, celery, cucumber, capsicum and mushrooms form the basis,...

Day 18 – Definitely craving for iron
I went food shopping today and managed to fill my basket with items like red meat and spinach, so I know I must be iron deficient. When I was a baby, my mother at some point was concerned with what I was eating, or not eating. When she took me to the doctor, he told her not to worry. That I would...

Day 17 - New recipes
I have to think of some new healthy recipes. I am getting bored with my repetoire. Tomorrow I am food shopping and will check out vegetables in season. We have some wonderful vegetable shops around Melbourne. One of my favourites stocks something like ten different varieties of potato. I was already...

Day 16 – Healthy nibbles
I have a real dilemma at work. By mid morning I am starving and looking for something to eat. In my pre-diet days I would bring in rice biscuits and cheese and nibble on these all morning. But nowadays I’m looking for healthier alternatives. For awhile I was bringing in fresh vegetables; celery,...
