End of day one...

Well it's been a lot better than I thought it was going to be to be honest!!  I knew it wouldn't be really easy - I'm a self confessed grazer - but I'm surprised at how ok it's been!
I decided that I rather than have only two meals (morning and evening) I would have a soup at lunchtime to tide me over and save some calories for a bit of supper.  I know that otherwise I would be more likely to break and give in!!
So the meals today on my first fast day...
Breakfast - Activia yoghurt (77cal) over a medium grapefruit (82cal) total 159cal
Lunch - Tesco Light Choices Chicken Noodle Soup 43cal
Dinner - 100g Smoked Salmon (117cal) on 100g Steamed cabbage (24cal) and 50g steamed leeks (16cal) topped with a poached egg (81cal) total 238
Supper - Cucumber (15cal), tomato (18cal), red onion (8cal) and balsamic vinegar (10cal) total 51cal

Total - 491 calories!!
Dinner - yum!!
I don't feel especially hungry - it's niggling, but I know that's boredom really, I'm just not used to not eating in the evenings.  And that's my own fault.  I don't need any more food, but a couple of hours after tea all I want to do is start nibbling again!!  I will fully admit that I'm thinking about all the things that I can eat tomorrow...but oddly enough I think top of the list of things that I'd like are a huge bowl of porridge and a cup of coffee!!  Oh, and cheese....I love cheese!!

Also, for the first time in ages I'm craving a mug of horlicks when I go to bed!!  I am going to go soon, I know I need an early night...with a book.  I'm rewatching Jeeves and Wooster at the moment, but I know if I get engrossed I won't get to sleep, whereas with a book (and the fact I've set the heated blanket to warm the bed) I'm sure I'll be dropping off soon.

Looking forward to yummies tomorrow though!
