Still being tough and resisting the snacks guests are eating. Scale is creeping downward and I can feel the loss. Hubby is making lasagna tonight but I'm not eating any. I'm going to have a Quorn pie instead with salad. I'll try to resist the garlic bread as well.
I know our friends will invite us to dinner some night before we leave and we're not sure what we'll do. They serve 3 course meals, not usually high fat but the calories still add up quickly. I can always refuse the wine.
Menu:
- B: porridge/dried fruit/cinnamon/almond milk
- L: low fat hummous on toast, yogurt, grapes
- D: Quorn (veggie) pie, salad
- Tea w/soy milk, coffee w/almond milk, low cal tonic water, herbal teas
Cals: 1215
Rest day.
