Yoghurts and Mirrors...

and the importance of checking your appearance in one after eating the other...

I packed a huge lunch box to take to work with me today...full of loads of low point and zero point goodies so I could graze all day. All this was carefully planned last night once I remembered that when at work, during the (very numerous) quiet periods I tend to eat...not because I'm hungry, but because there's nothing to do and I'm bored...in the past I'd have lit a cigarette, but since I've given up (oct 05) I don't even think about this option any more...instead I usually reach for the bag of snacks I've picked up at the garage on my way in to work in the morning (See, even when over eating it was all planned out!). So back to my enormous packed lunch...low fat yoghurt, one ultra tasty muller light vanilla yog, carrot sticks, celery sticks, lots of pieces of fruit, a ww choc crisp snack, crispbreads I could go on and on...all good stuff, and perfect for all-day grazing. Now I LOVE those Muller Lights...if I mention them enough times do you think they'll send me some freebies? So, out of undying love, I decided to leave the MULLER LIGHT yoghurt until last. About an hour before going home time I smugly took out my MULLER LIGHT yoghurt, and went to open it...whereupon, having warmed up by being out of the fridge all day, it splurted as I pealed the foil back. I looked with a little dismay at the small blobs of vanilla yoghurt on my t-shirt, removed a bit that had splashed on my lip, took out the spoon and took my time in getting on the outside of it, simply scrummy...with perfect timing my next customer waited until it was totally finished and disposed of...what the next customer chose not to point out, oh, and the next 5 or 6 customers too, was the big dollop of yellow yoghurt slowly drying on my nose...tomorrow I'm going to go all girly and buy a handmirror for my handbag! My mum will be so proud

Slight trauma with the food journal this evening, in that I threw away the packaging yesterday for the haddock we've eaten this evening...so need to be suspicious in the supermarket while I check out kcals and sat.fats in the freezer department tomorrow. I remember checking it all last night and being surprised at how low they were...but I can't remember what points they were...so finally point count for today will have to wait...but other stuff I ate today include:

Tea milk - 1½
30g Special K & ¼ pint semi-skimmed cow juice - 2½
Apple - ½
Ryvita x 6 - 3
Laughing Cow Extra Light triangles x 3 - 1½
Cucumber - 0
Carrots - 0
Celery - 0
WW Choc Crispy snack - 1½
WW Citrus Yoghurt - ½
Banana - 1½
Muller Light vanilla yoghurt - 1½ [actually I should reduce that, since I wore most of it! *LOL* ]
1½ haddock fillets - ?
peas - 1
sweetcorn - ½
boiled spuds - 2
mayonnaise - 2
tartare sauce - 1½

So...without counting the haddock, I'm up to 21 points...but without knowing the points value of the haddock I'll stop there for today

Thanks to Janey for posting a comment today...this is still a very new blog, but it gave me the warm and fuzzies when I checked my emails this evening and saw your post. Welcome to my humble blog!
