2. How I’m feeling: I was perhaps not so well behaved this week, on account of the fact that I was working out of town, visiting old friends and had a work dinner function to attend. I managed to maintain excellent consistency with breakfasts and lunches, but not so much with the dinners. I also drank a lot this week, which is pretty rare for me. So I’m a little disappointed, but I’ll get over it I am increasingly learning the importance of planning ahead, in other words, having “clean” food available so I don’t let myself get to the point of being so hungry that I just crave empty calories. On Saturday, I packed a lunch and snacks for work (I knew we would have a catered lunch), and it proved to be really helpful in allowing me to avoid the doughnuts and muffins mid-morning, and the nice dessert spread at lunch. I was so close to eating a rocky road brownie at lunchtime, but then I went into my office and ate my packed lunch, and afterwards decided I didn’t really need to have the brownie after all!

3. My cheats for this week (AKA the truth comes out):
Tuesday – had about 1lb of wings after working out at DPL CrossFit in Victoria. I actually ordered a nice “clean” chicken breast with brie and roasted pepper, and a side salad, but the chicken breast was so tiny and I was starving when I finished it. It was “wing night” and there were lots of wings on the table. I couldn’t bring myself to spend another $15 on another miniscule chicken breast, so I had lemon pepper wings. The lemon pepper coating was definitely loaded with sugar.
Thursday – reunion with old friends. Had about 3 beer with dinner. Salad had maple roasted squash in it (and a sweet dressing). Cheese platter had dried apricot bread (3 slices) and a pile of fig spread. On the whole, other than the beer, it actually wasn’t such a bad meal, I guess, but then I ruined it by having fried bananas and ice cream for dessert. So I counted Thursday’s meal as my official cheat meal, until…
Saturday – dinner function at work. Booze was free and so I had about 2-3 glasses of wine and a glass of port. I had a few baby potatoes with dinner, and also had the chocolate mousse dessert.
Sunday – was shopping at Urban Fare and they had samples of this chocolate raspberry fudge cheese. Tasted it and couldn’t resist buying a small piece.

Next week will be better, I promise…

Of course, that might be a bit much

This quote from the article supports my clean eating theory nicely:
“Even if you know better than to gulp down large amounts of soy milk, slabs of tofu, and other soy snacks, you are still consuming soy if you’re eating processed food, in the form of soybean oil and lecithin. So depending on your dietary habits, your (unfermented) soy consumption could really add up…Because soy is so pervasive in the U.S. food supply, avoiding it is not an easy task. The best way to completely avoid soy in the food supply is to buy whole foods and prepare them yourself. This may also be your only option if you’ve developed a soy allergy and need to eliminate soy from your diet entirely.”
