Day 6/90 22/05/13

Yesterday I decided to take my week’s cheat meal for the week. My boyfriend came over for the evening and we ate takeaway from a place called ‘Spice Nutriment’ which is a healthy alternative to normal Indian. I love the food so much from their I am on first name terms with the owner.. oh dear.

Didn’t really get time to exercise today as I was rushed off my feet at work however I cycled too and from work on my bike ‘Lady’. Back on it tomorrow night :)

So food for today:

Breakfast:

  • Diet Protein shake
  • 2 poached eggs
  • 2 rashes of bacon with the fat cut off

Lunch:

  • 3 boiled eggs
  • 2 small tubs of quark
  • 50g of cashews

Dinner:

  • Healthy saag aloo, onion bhajis & peshwari naan
  • 1 pack of Reese cups

It was a delicious cheat meal :) But back on it today (Thursday) I am going to try and get out of the habit of having nuts and they seem to be a slight achilles heal in terms of snacking.
