Well I don’t think I did any better yesterday, either from a healthy eating point of view, or from a reducing weight sort of diet.
Breakfast time we had mandarin oranges and grapefruit, both tinned, that was the healthy bit, then as it was Good Friday hot cross buns.
Steve was not impressed as he had wanted a traditional English breakfast. Well he could have cooked one and had it waiting for me on my return from horse feeding and dog walking. Hint Hint.
So, for lunch we had traditional English breakfast. Using what I had in the way of ingredients. Scrambled eggs, bacon, tinned tomatoes and toast.
Took the horse and pony out, I rode the horse and lead the pony, and Steve walked the dogs. By the time we had put them all to bed and seen to another two horses, we were running rather late. Steve suggested picking up fish and chips on the way home. I did not need too much persuasion. Just to help make sure we ate our quota of fresh fruit I made a salad of apple, banana, pear, and Satsuma, and had a multi vitamin and mineral pill just to help.
Ate chocolate and peanuts. Bad.

Good Friday
Yesterday was not the best day in the way of inspirational eating or the best in good nutrition, but never mind how would I ever feel righteous and smug if on good days, if I did it right all the time.
Breakfast was orange juice followed by porridge that had been made mainly with water so that was a fairly low fat start to the day. Good.
Lunch was very late, I spent too long on this computer, I think computers eat time.
For lunch we had fish sticks salad and bread and butter. Maybe overall the day was not that bad from a nutritional point of view after all.
In the afternoon Steve and I did an emergency dash to rescue a pony that was larking about on the top of an enormous dung heap and endangering himself, it was a bit of a pain as it meant I missed riding my horse. After that we still had to exercise the dogs, and then we went shopping. After that we arrived home quite late. So the bad bit of the day was crashing out in front of the telly and eating two huge pizzas and drinking beer. (Just the one).

Tuesday 3rd of April
Monday was sandwiches for lunch, then leftover Chinese. Steve's brother Nigel made a flying visit, literally, arriving after dinner on Sunday then leaving first thing Monday. As we had already eaten he bought himself some food from the local Chinese takeaway. It's only about 30 metre away as the crow flies, a bit further on foot. Too temptingly close for my waistline, or pocket.
Anyway he ended up with too much food and left some in the fridge, which went very nicely with some fresh vegetables, stir-fried, and more chinese from the freezer.
Finished up yesterday's trifle for dessert.

Monday part two
Sunday I slept in for half an hour, only one place to go to feed horses so hubby treated me to breakfast in bed. Croissants with ginger preserve, coffee and grapefruit juice.
Have no idea what I ate for lunch it cannot have been anything inspirational.
For dinner I had Grilled pork chops with pan fried herby potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots and broad beans.
For pudding I found something to do with that chocolate sponge cake that I managed to burn during my baking the other night. It wasn’t really all that burnt, more dried out. So with a bit of trimming, then soaking in Marsala wine and orange juice, it became the base for a trifle. I used orange jelly, poached pears, and a vanilla custard. It was not bad, but son and heir says it should have been chocolate custard. Next time I will make it chocolate, as half of the chocolate sponge is still lurking in the freezer

Monday
Saturday breakfast Hubby made it, one of his favourites, bagels with smoked salmon trimmings and cream cheese, served with a big mug of coffee and a glass of grapefruit juice.
Lunch we are finishing up leftovers again, using up the roasted vegetables from the other night, warmed up in a can of tomato soup, it becomes a really substantial lunch served with a chunk of bread.
Just before going to put horses to bed, we had a cup of tea with one of the fruit cakes from my baking frenzy the other night.
Dinner time we were both a bit fed up and could not think what we wanted to eat for dinner, so did a raid on the supermarket looking for bargains and inspiration. No real bargains available, just one French stick, and a few bits of cheese, so with that as a start the dinner was, French stick and anything we could find in the fridge. It often seems to be the best meals as there is always some salad, and I don’t have to cook. Ice cream cone for pud.
