Difficult Day

I have had a difficult day food wise today but I have managed to about survive it.... just. I don't know why but I have craved food all day long. Any food, today I just wanted to revert back to my pre-diet self and eat the whole day long. It is weird though because I haven't felt like doing this for weeks and I have no idea what triggered it. I have sailed through the previous weeks with ease and not been tempted to over eat. I have surprised myself by being strong, so unlike my usual diet attempts. My fear is that I will have a day like today, give in to it and then I will be unable to get back on track, slipping back into my old ways and regaining the pounds that I truly never want to see again. But today, thank goodness, is not that day.

My menu today:

Breakfast

Porridge with Splenda, water, semi skimmed milk and a tsp of low sugar jam.

Lunch

Egg mayo sandwich.

Dinner

Chinese King Prawns with tomatos, onions and boiled rice

Snack

1/2 pint semi skimmed milk

2 Ryvita Oat and Sunflower Seed with Philadelphia Light and pineapple (Yum Yum - see pic above)

Weight Watchers Mandarin Cheesecake

Daily Total = 1563

I have noticed that I am not eating as much fruit and veg over the past week as I normally do, so I need to increase this. I did drink my daily 8 cups of water today and although I found it a struggle at first, now I am easily getting through them and sometimes more.

I have also joined Kim on the challenge to walk every day during April. I walked for 30 minutes today. My walks have been brisk and vary between 20 - 60 minutes although I do intend to do longer ones next week while I am at the coast.
