15 pieces of Sushi (mostly Maki), and some pickled vegetable salad thingie.

Two slices of toast with Becel, cheese and jam, 10 little heart-shaped
cookie things (140 kcal) and a cafe au lait 1% milk. I was just too
bored with my normal breakfast.

Spicy shrimp salad sandwich on parisien bread with bacon, lettuce and
tomato served with potato salad.

Afternoon snack

Cafe au lait 1% milk, a sweet'n'salty peanut bar, and one small square
(5g) of dark chocolate.

and a Corona.

Morning snack

4 squares of a medium thin crust pepperoni pizza.

Breakfast

Standard breakfast with Kashi GoLean Crunch.

A black hole

The metaphor fits well, both in terms of forgetfulness and in terms of
a black hole sucking everything into it. Basically Friday night and
all of Saturday were like a visit to a Roman vomitarium, compared to
my normal monkish ways.

Dinner

Shish taouk plate, minus pita, minus garlic sauce, but with hummus.

Lunch

Pork filet served au jus with spring vegetables and orzo pasta. Not a
very large serving, but the orzo pasta was quite juicy. After lunch I

- 1 two-bite brownie
- Several pieces of meat ravioli in meat sauce
- A couple of bites of the chicken breast and salad that I bought
myself for dinner but which turned out to be horrible

DOH! Willpower is not exactly my strong suit these days.

healthy. Had a kiwi for dessert, and then a café au lait 1%.

A bowl of Optimum Power cereal with 1% milk, no coffee because we were
out, and a spoonful of Lýsi.

A light dinner

A vegetarian burrito (280 kcal). Also before dinner I had a couple of small nibbles of my sons' dinner, but next to nothing.

cheese overload today!

from the side dish.

Breakfast

A café au lait 2% milk, the crust of two slices of bread, with a tiny
bit of cheese, plus about half of the inside of a slice of bread with
cheese, and a small yogurt.

Weekend of oblivion

I totally forgot the food diary this weekend, and now I don't remember
everything I ate. Suffice it to say it was not a healthy weekend:
Non-trivial amounts of beer were consumed, quite a bit of pizza, some
candy, etc. etc. I'll try to do better.

Breakfast

WARNING! WARNING! ALERT! ALERT! Morning willpower looks like it is
not my strong suit; I had my usual breakfast with a mixture of
Heritage Os and Optimum Zen, but I "accidentally" also had another
chocolate-coconut thing and half a slice of the sugarless cake thing.

A bit later, we celebrated our sons' nanny's birthday, and I had
another café au lait 1% milk and a fairly small slice of strawberry
tort.

Dinner

About 1/3rd of a chicken breast florentine, about 1/3rd of a baked
potato, and a small serving of spaghetti bolognese. For dessert I had
two slices of the sugar-free poundcake my wife bought.

Lunch

Salmon burger with a green salad and light vinaigrette. This was a
pretty healthy meal. Followed up by a café au lait 1% milk.

Breakfast

One chocolate coconut ball thing, followed by my usual breakfast with
Heritage O's.

Dinner

Before dinner (ahemm - gotta stop this) I had two slices of some
sugar-free poundcake my wife bought, and a couple of mouthfuls of

breast with cheese and red peppers, and half a baked potato, with a

Some time in the afternoon, I had one and a half egg rolls with Becel and cheese, and a glass of milk.

For dinner, I had 2/3rds or 3/4ths of a medium sized Domino's thin-crust pizza.

At some point I also had a beer and a glass of rosé - hair of the dog that bit you, so to speak.

Dinner and too many drinks

We were invited to a barbecue at our neighbours' house. Lots of food, lots and lots of drinks, so all in all not a great day for dieting.

Afternoon snack

A slice of an Oakrun nut ring or whatever it's called, plus a couple of small brittle cookies, plus a few peanut butter M&Ms.

A Birthday Party!

I took the boys to their friends' birthday party, where I had:

Roast duck wrap with sprouts, hoisin, cucumber served with green salad
with a teaspoon or two of Asian dressing.

This was followed quickly by a cafe au lait 1% milk.

Breakfast

The usual, with Kashi GoLean Crunch.

Dinner

A kaiser roll with a fair bit (3-4 heaping tablespoons) of egg salad,

pasta-that-looks-like-rice thing that I had yesterday was). For

Forgetful day

This is all from memory and a little complicated so I'm probably forgetting some stuff.

Breakfast was close to a bowl of Optimum Power, some with 1% milk and some with whole milk, plus about 2/3rds of a gluten-free apple bar thing.

Morning snack was the crust of one or two slices of bread and some other nibbles of stuff my sons were having (I think).

Lunch at the Biodome was a tuna wrap and quite a bit of the vegetable side salad that came with it, dressed in something or other, plus a whole gigantic cookie with chocolate chips - ouch.

My wife and I had an early dinner at a restaurant, mine was the seafood platter which was mostly healthy stuff (there was a bit of fish in batter but other than that everything was pretty in-the-zone). I had two pints of beer with dinner, and had a fair bit of our shared dessert which was a maple pie with sliced almonds.

We then went for Karaoke, where I had two Bacardi breezers and a few potato chips.

Ended the evening by having lots of chocolate covered raisins and lots of Kaffi and Marsípan chocolates (about 2/3rds of a bar of each). Double ouch, yuck and darn.

Quite a lot of chocolate-coated raisins.
