FOOD!
Right - I reckon I'm going to keep a record of what I eat on here - just to keep me in check!
So yesterday I had
1 soup
1 bar
1 shake
Snack: 1 pot 0% greek yoghurt
Meal: some edamame beans, some pickled cucumber and radish and a salad with shredded beetroot and cucumber, more edamame (soy beans), about 5 butterbeans, baby leaves and a miso dressing. (the soy beans and miso are all part of Japan preparation - the butterbeans I probably should have picked out !) Successfully avoided my mum's leftover veg tempura and rice!! 
shit loads of green tea!
Swam a kilometre, cycled about 15k.
So I reckon a good day. Pretty textbook in fact.
Today so far I have had:
Snack: 1 pack of fresh mango pieces. 1 pack of dried mango pieces!!
(now the fresh mango shouldn't come in till week 3, ie next Weds - but again this is part of Japan preparations. The dried mango is actually a bit naughty - I think in reality it wouldn't come in till much later on maintenance and I won't be having dried mango in Japan!!)
1 milkshake.
Tonight the plan is:
Meal: Homemade miso soup (with wakame seaweed, mountain veg (bamboo, mushrooms, green stuff and tofu), pickled cucumber and radish.
A bar at bed time.
It went wrong here!!! Also had a bite of a Portuguese custard tart. A v. small slice of fruit bread. 4 v. small biscuits (bite size).
I will also probably have a champagne spritzer - again part of Japan preparations!! Champagne 'cos I've kept a mini bottle given to me by someone who leads tours around the champagne cellars in France - so may as well!
Didn't enjoy the champagne at all and it was the drink that came before the tart/bread/biscuits!! Went to bed feeling very depressed.
Also going out tonight with friends to a dancy pub club type thing - first time in ages!
Didn't go. Just felt tired and depressed after the champagne and nibbling incident!
Also ran 5.5k this morning. If I can stick to the rest of the day I figure that's ok - the fruit was the snack, the soup is the meal and two packs (actually we're supposed to have 3 but since I had so much fruit and may have a drink I prolly won't have all 3). BUT whilst I think it seems ok - it does feel all wrong and naughty.....
