Day 3 - Choc's & Goks' Wok
Breakfast: Cereal with nutty strawbs, semi skimmed milk and mug of coffee.
Lunch: Mixed salad with Tuna
Dinner: Stir fried vegetables with 1 medium sized Turkey breast.
They are really trying hard to promote and encourage healthy eating at work. There are posters up suggesting what you should eat and how to plate up a healthy meal. Today they placed a mountain of cookies, smack bang in front of these images. Yesterday chocolate birthday cake to tempt me and today cookies. I was in the canteen area at the time the doughy, chocolate chip bad boys arrived. I ran back downstairs to the sanctity of our office. Safe from temptation. Or so I thought.
Within minutes, a thoughtful colleague, bought down just about as many cookies as she could carry, placed them on the exact spot that the chocolate cake resided hours before.
I know that I have forced myself to face a food challenge each day but I didn't want to be literally facing a food challenge.
What will I be faced with tomorrow?
Once again, I resisted temptation. I think that's 2-0 to me.
Encouraged by my tiny steps in the correct direction I thought I should cook dinner.
I had been flicking through my free HD channels when I came across Gok Wan cooks Chinese. He made it look very simple, very impressive and most of all very tasty. I thought I would give it a go.
Dinner consisted of a thinly sliced Turkey breast, mange tout, broccoli and baby corns. Add this to Gok's ideal mix of ginger, spring onion and garlic and it led to a quick tasty meal.
The diet is going really well and the choice of food is getting larger.
Hopefully by the end of the first week I will back up to full strength and then then jogging starts again soon.
Hope to be running again soon.
Thanks for dropping in
