I can already say that the kids and I are not going to be on the exact same page, because I already fed them raisin bread for breakfast.
What can I say, I'm not miss perfect-mom, never been, probably never will!
Breakfast: omelette with 2 eggs, a bit of milk, a bit of cheese. I also through in some capsicum left over from yesterday's Mexican themed dinner, and a bit of cooked ham.
Cheap, quick, healthy kind-of.
Snack: 2 squares of dark Lindt mint chocolate that I gobbled without even thinking twice. For no good reason except that the chocolate was left on the table that I was cleaning, and bad habits die hard!
Lunch: green juice (celeri, kale, mint, apple, cucumber ~600ml or 20 oz). Super yum, and ~200 kcal for this giant cup. Salmon sashimi (3 pieces), edamame, one miso soup (soy sauce! miso mix! fatgar!).
Snack: babybel.
Dinner: I made a vegetable mix as a spaghetti sauce for the family. Onions, sliced carrots and mushrooms, fresh tomatoes. I planned to use it as a side for my fish, then got lazy and had pasta too. On the bright side, I had only a little bowl of pasta, instead of my regular giant plate, and they were wholemeal if that matters. Fresh pasta are super easy to make and SO cheap, I'll be sure to post the recipe with pictures sometimes soon.
I recently started to get my groceries delivered instead of going grocery shopping. On the down side, it's difficult to chose fruits and veggies online, and I usually get delivered ripe ones that I need to cook asap and freeze if we want veggies for the week.
On the bright side, most shops offer free delivery if you reach a certain $ amount, and with a family of 4, it's easy to reach it for 10 days worth of grocery. If anything, we save money as I only buy things we need and often shop on the special offers page. Also, see below.
And I say YEAH to not taking the kids to the supermarket.
It seems that keeping a food diary might be a simple trick to curb my binge eating habits. I ate less today than on most Sundays.
The day is not finished, but I'm going to call it a day for this post, so that hopefully I'll limit what I eat tonight. I'm planning to be good: drink tons of tea if I feel like a sweet, instead of raiding the cupboard full of free-delivered snacks. Because yes, I decided that kids will be cut from sugar progressively and not cold-turkey as if they were willing adults!
