food journal no. 1

I need a place to journal my food. And other things too, but for right now definitely my food...

Breakfast
30g porridge w/150ml skimmed milk: 170 calories
10g brown sugar: 30 calories

Lunch
Homemade vegetable soup (carrots, onions, parnsips, potatoes, coriander): 200 calories

Snack
Sesame Ryvita: 30 calories
Laughing Cow Extra Light Cheese: 20 calories

Dinner
2 Sainsbury's good for you fishcakes: 400 calories
300g baked potato w/ flora and salt: 300 calories
Sauteed aubergine with garlic, chilli flakes, olive oil: 200 calories

Total: 1350 calories

Thoughts...
Not a bad day, although I really should have eaten more calories during while at work. I was starving when I got home. Even just an apple would have made such a difference. The other thing I need to fess up to is the light mayo and ketchup I had with my fishcakes. I have a serious problem with sauces like that. I really need to get a grip on this. Without thinking, I probably had 150 calories in sauces, which essentially brings me to a total of 1500 calories.

I feel like 1500 calories is acceptable if I'm doing some form of exercise, but I didn't today. I should really aim for 1200 calorie days when I'm not doing anything. Tomorrow I've got my aerobics class and I'll definitely be eating a bit more to reflect that. I'm going to take a heartier soup for lunch, plus take an apple and some carrots.

This is enough for now I think. I'll journal about my 'secret weigh-ins' another time. I think it's important for me to express how I feel about them.
