I don’t normally count
calories, I just wondered what an ordinary day’s worth of my food looked like, seeing as I think I eat heaps.
Edit: I just noticed that I didn't actually have that yoghurt last night - it's still in the fridge. What a difference from Saturday!
I went for a walk in the bush at a nearby open space today with my husband and our dog. Brisk. 22 mins.

It was interesting having another look at what I eat. I reckon I could have a smaller tomato juice at breakfast time and still be having as much as I need. I don't especially look for it. Also I could cut back to half a muffin now. A full breakfast like the one above has been making me feel a bit too full, and I am not ready to eat lunch when I should be. Also I noticed that pumpkin is a controlled vegetable, though still ok to fit in with a tomato at lunch time. However the vege soup I have been buying, I now see has potato as a main ingredient! So that's less satisfactory from my point of view. It could be useful if I was in a terrific rush - I'll check it later.
