Apologies for the late arrival of this diary – I nearly forgot!
Welcome to anyone posting for the first time, just look at what the others do and follow suit. And do please comment/ask questions or just “like” what others have written. That way we all learn something.
Well, what have you planned to eat and drink on Saturday 21st October?
I haven’t planned my menus yet – I was looking for the diary to get some ideas when I realised it was my turn!! Aargh!
So here we are anyway. I will post my menu later, when I have decided what we are having tomorrow!
Tell us what your calorie intake should be and the total calories that each meal contains, what exercise you have planned and if you have a tip to share, please do share it!
My tip for the day (yes, I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating!) – Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in, day out.

Thanks for hosting Hidden I have not planned mine yet so will post in the morning
Well tomorrow I plan to have porridge with banana, pecans and chia for breakfast, 333cals.
Lunch is cauliflower cheese soup, full fat yogurt, 352 cals.
Dinner is Hairy Dieters bolognaise, 350 cals, no spaghetti, but a side salad. Fruit salad and Greek yogurt, total 565.
Snack is a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, 90 cals.
Day’s total 1346 cals, a bit over my 1200 target, but we are having a morning working in the community garden, so hopefully I can allow myself to go over!
Happy weekend everyone. Be good! (By the way, today’s fish and chips, all calorie counted, were delicious! A real treat!)
Hi trimmerteacher and thanks for hosting. This weekend we have family staying and a party, then on Monday we're off on holiday. So tomorrow I'll have porridge for breakfast but then it will be a 3 course meal with wine, taking me well over my target. I'll try and keep my portion sizes moderate and just have one glass of wine, but I will be enjoying everything. On holiday I will enjoy all the meals, but will try and be aware of what I'm eating, avoid snacks and carbs where possible. Hopefully I won't undo all my hard work. I've been really pleased with my progress so far, so( holidays excepted) I hope to continue with a gradual loss. I won't be posting for about 10 days, but hope everyone has a good week and look forward to getting back to the daily diary after next week
I think that because you've posted your intentions here, that you'll be more likely to manage those portions that you mention. At the same time you've got to enjoy yourself... what a tightrope we walk
rutheliza I was given a good tip for holidays - make sure if you do go over, or have that pudding or cake, that it was really, really worth go8ng over the limit for. 😛 Have a great holiday! 😎
that's a good tip, I'll remember that.. I think I'm getting better at that, the planning ahead helps. All my excess calories used to come from little snacks I'd just shovel in quickly as I was passing, rather than food I'd sit down and enjoy
Thank you for hosting trimmerteacher . my plan for tomorrow I am having
Breakfast scrambled eggs on toast and coffee.300 calories.
Lunch Home made tomato soup. roll strawberries and yogurt. 450 calories.
Dinner Fish fingers jacket potato and baked beans. 500 calories. I will have a banana as a snack 100 calories and skimmed milk in my coffee. 70 calories. adding up to 1420 calories for the day. Hope everyone has a good day with deciding what they are eating over the weekend and have a good weekend.
Hello, I haven't posted on the daily diary before but thought I would give it a go!
I usually aim for about 1700 calls a day but I'm not too strict if it's a bit over or under, not too sure what exercise I will be doing - probably long dog walk!
My food plan for today is
Breakfast: porridge, whole milk, banana.
Lunch: seeded ciabatta roll, loads of salad , 1/2 avocado, slice ham. Yogurt. Apple
Dinner: sweet potato, spinach and chickpea curry and rice. Tin fruit and carnation cream for pud (if I have enough calories left).
Hi like Dizzykate I have never posted on here before- I am a bit confused- are we to post what we are eating today (Saturday) or tomorrow (Sunday), I have noticed that those who have mentioned what they're eating tomorrow posted over 6hrs ago so I assume they are talking about today (Saturday). Can I have some clarity so I know which menu to post- I plan my meals for a week- from Monday to Sunday so I do one big shop.
I think it's for today, they usually put the post up the night before and then people just seem to post when they can, I think the idea is to help you focus and get a plan of what your eating and people can give advice if you need some guidance x
Hi RG07 .The Daily Diary is posted usually on an evening, to remind people to plan for the next day. (The date Saturday, 21st, is on today’s diary, which I posted last night.) If you aren’t sure what you are having the next day, you can be inspired by what others are having. Some people are writing their diary today, but that is for today’s menu still, not tomorrow. A new entry will appear tonight for tomorrow’s (Sunday’s) diary. Hope that clears it up!
Great menu for so few calories . . . Remind me again why you are sticking to 800 calories? It’s a very clever use of limited calories 😊
And cycling in Andalusia?? Wow!! Sounds fabulous! When and what time of year? We went in February a couple of years ago and the weather was perfect 😊 (Granada, Malaga, Seville and onto the Algarve, by bus not bike though!!)
Anna
Ps ignore the question about 800 calories, I’ve just seen your reply from yesterday about the Blood Sugar Diet. 😊 Good luck with it and keep us posted!
Hi IndigoBlue61 i wish I was cycling in Spain. I have an app that lets me plan rides all over the world just to keep it interesting. You can get google map views too!
Yet another delicous menu today! Sounds gorgeous IndigoBlue61 . I could eat any and all of that! And well done on refusing cake. Get that halo polished!
It's amazing how easy it is to fall out of a new habit! I missed doing my DD on Monday, then didn't return all week. I've been tracking on MFP still though.
B - scrambled eggs on sourdough toast, 358
L - red lentil and chickpea soup, apple and cheese, 353
D - lamb meatballs in tomato sauce with parmesan and courgetti, 513
1224, I'm aiming for around 1700. Likely to have almonds and Green and Blacks for around 250, not sure what else yet.
Hi IndigoBlue61 im not on an app. I vary at time. I'm either on my phone, iPad at night, pc during week days. I usually scroll down until I find something on my iPad.
