1/4 pint skimmed milk - 0.5pt
4 strawberries - 0.5pt
5tbsp balsamic vinegar for my salad - 4pts
couscous - 3.5pts
1 bag of Kellogg's mini breaks (original) - 1.5pts
1 bottle of Irn Bru - 3pts
100g wholegrain pasta - 1.5pts
1/2tbsp pesto with broccoli - 1.5pts

Total: 18.5/23pts

Fluids: 1L Volvic, 2 mugs of rooibos tea, 1 mug of green tea, 500ml Irn Bru.

So, I could have done without the bottle of Irn Bru, but I don't think I can cut fizzy drinks completely from my diet right now. I'm still chuffed that I managed to drink a litre of water today. I'm going to include my three mugs of tea as part of my fluid intake... hopefully that's allowed, but I'm still going to try my best to drink mainly water.

I have a very physical day tomorrow. I will be running tomorrow morning and then my work department is having their away day and I managed to pick four things that requires me to move a lot (at 30-something degrees!). Hmm, that'll earn me quite a few bonus points! But I've decided to bank the few points left over from today because I have no idea what they're going to feed us tomorrow. I've packed a couple of healthy snacks for tomorrow (25g mixed fruits & nuts and 1 small bag of pretzels), but I have a feeling there won't be a lot of sitting down and having cups of tea during the tasks so I don't know when I'll be able to eat them. Still, apart from the lunch worry, I'm REALLY looking forward to it. I think it would have sounded less fun when I was bigger and smoked a lot, but now that that is all in the past, I can't wait to sweat it out. I hope I'll have enough energy after my scary first run on week 8 though. Eek!
