evening has fallen in the Netherlands, so here goes:
B: skim milk with oatmeals and raisins and cinnamon
s: apple
l: 1 wholewheat bread with red meat
s: 1little bloc of chocolate (15 grams)

d: 2 wholeweat bread with omelet of 3 eggs
s: fruityoghurt and 10 grapes
not bad!
Exercise: walking with the STROLLER for 50 minutes
Weigh in this night: 143,4 kilograms. Lost 1,7 versus last time and now have to lose 8,4 to fulfill my goal by july first
Now I am looking at what you ate Cat. I am going to be a 'busy body' now...
B Yummy and healthy.
S excellen$ choicet!
S at least the chocolate was small
L sounds great beef is good for your iron and I notice you choose wholewheat! BUT maybe you could add some salad? imagine that beef with some shredded lettuce, diced tomato, grated carrot and a nice sweet chilli sauce and a dash of natural yoghurt all wrapped up in a pita bread... YUM or maybe make it into a Thai salad then have the bread on the side?
S that bar thing... unless it's low calorie eat fruit instead, OR a slice of raisin toast (no butter)
D Eggs are good... add some veggies to that with some grated zucchini and chopped tomatoes.
As for the stroller walk...
Keep that up Cat and the weight will start to shift really soon.
From your personal cheer squad,
You are right, was not the best fruit en veggie day (although I had a huge apple and some grapes)
It is sometimes difficult to write my menu on here for you guys because the products here are different.
Holland is a big bread country and we have the best yummy wholewheat sliced bread available everywhere. I know from my visit to the states that it is not so over there and also in Australia less so. More white and processed breads.
If i write for example bread with red meat, it is e sandwich (wholeweat 25 grams so very thin compared to your bread) with filet americain. That is sort of a spread for your bread, made of very lean raw meat (tartar but made very fine)
With some raw onion on top. But if I write it down, no one knows what i am eating,. I never saw such a spread in US or OZ. it is not really made for a salad, although could have salad on the side. Everything in Holland is made to spread on bread. People here eat ty[ically 6 slices of bread per day, next to their potatoes or rice etc.
If I write evergreen bar, it is actually something considered very healhty over here. It is a square cookie, but made from grains and raisins, about 65 calories end no added sugar and only 1% fat
But never saw these in OZ or US, so again you guys do not really know what it is.
It works the other way around too. I wonder often what is a Kashi bar? What are smartones?
Very interesting to learn about different countries products. Sometimes I wish I lived over there, because you have so much more 'diet' choices. I LOVED frozen yoghurt low cal when i was half a year in Oz. But it is not available here.
By the way, I was in Canberra too for 10 days, visiting a friend of mine who passed away three weeks ago...
Seriously, half the things they mention on here I have never heard of before.
That evergreen bar sounds yummy... and low calorie/fat too.
Your bread sounds very thin... here we have wholemeal, mulitgrain and various whites including some who pretend to be healthy. The bread varies depending on the brand- some of it is thick and heavy 'German' styled others... well regular... more like British I imagine.
We don't have many savoury spreads like you describe. The closest might be pate... but that's not lean.
Funnily enough I don't eat frozen yoghurt much. But do like it.
You like fruit and veggies?
Sad that your friend passed away. Was she still in Canberra?
