Good morning world it's a brand new day.
The point of this thread is to see if i am really eating and drinking as little and as healthily as i think i am.
So i hope to put put down my daily consumption as honestly and unforgetfully as i can :-)
This is to show me what i really ingest as compared to what i imagine i do, because surprisingly for a vegetarian i am considerably overweight, needing to lose a good 3 stone.
Which i can't seem to shift.
I blame that on many things but not my eating or exercising :-).
Exercising is mostly confined to walking the dog
This is Tich, showing her support.
So this is what i ate and drank on 24/06/12, the day England crashed out of the footy. That is my excuse for the glaring break in diet, nipping to the shop for more cider at half time.
Breakfast
1 Medium banana
2 Large mugs of strong coffee with skimmed milk
Lunch
1 Medium banana
350g 2% fat live natural yoghurt
1 Glass of red wine (Chilean Merlot)
Afternoon
1 Large mug of strong coffee with skimmed milk
1 Pint of cider

28g Brie cheese

Tich did offer her support when she saw me succumbing to dangerous cravings, which is why i only ate 80% of the offending foods ho ho.
Well this has been cathartic for me, though i don't know how much interest it holds for others.
I do hope it will be revelatory and guilt me into shifting this weight. I hope guilt at bingeing doesn't stop me keeping this up to date.
If you have got this far, then thank you for your company, if you want to follow this journey, comment, keep on my back so i don't give up, or anything else, i will be keeping these posts under the 'My vegetarian diet plan' thread.
I am keeping a note of consumption in a notebook (clue is in the name) and intend to update every or a least most days.
Recipes and other stuff will be under different threads.
Happy Eating Everyone
love from Pa
