Ok, so the posting has been a lot less inspired than I had hoped - and a lot more kudos go out to my friends who blog all the time - Jenn and Lynn, and Tiffany - you guys are amazing, how do you find the time!
I have decided, based on my allergies, to go wheat free for a week - and see how that goes for me. So, no more sneaky slices of toast, no more digestives that were bought for the chocolate biscuit cake, and no more pasta - just for a week, which started on Saturday. So far it's been ok, as I mentally know that I can have some carbs, and there's a lot of wheat free options out there.
This is in attempt to reduce the itching that I experience all over my body, especially my eyes, throat, nose and legs, and to reduce my sniffles. I'll update how it goes. I may continue for one more week to ensure that i get into that LBD for my friends birthday on the 17th! :-) Who knows!!
Well - today's lunch was leftover fajita peppers (I didn't have the tortillas on Saturday), spinach leaves, roasted chicken and a tiny piece of cheese that was just too small to put back in the wrapper (think 1/4 of a matchbox). It was tasty, followed by an apple and a yoghurt and it was nice and filling - and i'd estimate maybe 6 points for the whole thing - the yogurt was only 1!!:-)
This evening we are having grilled hake, baby potatoes, brocolli and carrots (boiled) - and I may add a teeeeny bit of parmesan to the veggies and perhaps the fish. I've a long run scheduled with my running buddy too - 12.5km - and have to work out what to eat before I do that. It's going to be hard if I can't have the toast I normally do. My boyfriend's going to get me some oranges, so that might do - or I can have a 2pt protein shake - that might work also, but I think the oranges, with the natural sugar and fibre will probably give me more energy...
