The best laid plans…

Well, the best laid plans of mice and men…

 Amazingly I saw a 2 kilo loss from Thursday to now.

 8:30 I ate the soaked oats and almonds…very OK

9:00 Water Babes with JB for just under an hour…felt a little tired today but it gave me energy

10:30 Papaya and mango smoothie time with my buddies (organic mango from our tree and locally grown pawpaw/papaya)  

11:00 We each had two slices of low GI seed bread toasted. One slice with a little butter and gouda cheese, the second with low fat cream cheese and watercress. 2 cups black filter coffee.

 Lunch was Butternut and Cannellini Bean Soup – had small bowl

Green mixed salad and chicken mayo/yogurt with cayenne pepper

One stevia sweetened dark chocolate truffle after lunch, and a Kendy bar of the same ilk.

One cup of coffee…(most I have had in one day in a year)

1 bottle of sauvignon blanc

Water. 750ml – the size of a wine bottle (a little trick I learned along the way)

Tonight is goodbye to the old year and hello to the new. So this will be an Anything Goes night. My plan is to drink a lot of water and eat raw foods as snacks if the nibbles happen. I am ready with snow peas and more raw vegetables with hummus that is about to be made.

 We are baking some chicken legs and thighs and making a big raw salad with lots of green in it. My assistant Kathy is coming over and she is privy to The Plan. Her contribution to the food is crustless quiche and a pesto with baked tortilla wedges. The three of us will watch movies and chill, keeping the dogs company during firework madness. Needless to say – there will be wine – and lots of water.

 For every glass of wine or cup of tea or coffee, drink the same amount of water. Make it your favourite drink. You can drink it hot or cold, with lemon or ginger is good.
