What I ate Wednesday

Having a weekly feature really makes me notice how quickly these weeks are rolling around. It's frightening! What's worse is we had a company newsletter in work the other day and they're already counting down to Christmas - we haven't even have a proper Summer yet!

BREAKFAST - 6:30am

I woke up hungry, but nothing I thought of sounded appetising. I spent so long deliberating over what to have that I actually didn't leave myself a lot of time, so I settled for my usual mix of porridge, made with cinnamon and a grated apple, and topped with some mixed nuts (I think it was peanuts, almonds and... walnuts maybe?) and blueberries. Because it wasn't what I was craving (I still don't know what I wanted) I didn't enjoy it, but ate it for the sake of it. It was a lovely combination though, so no doubt I'll be returning to this when I'm in a fruit 'n' nut mood.

LUNCH - 1:00pm

I took a box full of raw vegetables to work today, as I knew there were some dips in the fridge that needed to be eaten. I took cucumber, carrots, mange tout, a yellow pepper, and a couple of cherry tomatoes, and had some lemon houmous for dippage. Mmmm. I also had a pot of Activia Fat-Free Vanilla Yoghurt and two small (unpictured) plums, which filled me up for the afternoon. I did get peckish at around 5:30pm, but I didn't have anything as I was finishing work at 6:00pm and going straight home.

TEA - 6:15pm

Tonight I wanted something a bit stodgy, as the weather resembles Autumn. I had a bowl of couscous, topped with some of my chunky vegetable chilli, which was very yummy, very filling, and exactly what I wanted to warm me up. For my dessert I had a strawberry ice cream-slash-smoothie, which was just some frozen bananas and frozen strawberries, blended with a little soy milk until I got the consistency of ice cream. This was so delicious and I felt like I was having a really naughty treat. You know those luxury ice creams that are made with real strawberries instead of artificial strawberry flavourings? This tasted just like one of those. Mmmm.

DRINKS

Today I had 1.5 litres of water, so not my 2 litre target but near enough. We're kind of keeping tabs on each other in work and checking how much water we're drinking, so it is a good reminder to hydrate myself! I also had my first bottle of 'Vitamin Water' today. I chose the i-focus Strawberry and Kiwi flavour, not entirely because it is pink. Well... maybe just a little! The first sip was quite nice but by the end it wasn't as nice as I thought. Plus it is just full of sugar! I bought into the vitamin aspect of it and regretted it. I won't be buying anymore. I'm having a cup of Clipper Night-Time Tea tonight too, which is becoming somewhat of a nightly ritual now. It's my favourite, and if it didn't help me sleep I'd drink it throughout the day too!

Notice something different about today's meals?
