Got thrush again! annoying! Looking at the Anti-Candida diet but it looks like an absolute nightmare..... mmm.  Lots ot think on.  Also really felt inspired by a post that mum put up on her blog about the power of nutrition to cure 'incurable' diseases...i really wonder how much my diet effects my psoriasis because its soooo bad at the moment.  Lots to look into.


What i ate today:
small bowl cornflakes and raisons
Peice of fruit cake
peice of melon
small amount pasta, lots of veg (mushroom, tomato, courgette), pesto and little cheese
2 little sweeties
big fruit salad with a little cereal and yoghurt.

Seriously Jetlagged, which is definately effecting my eating habits...didnt eat any dinner last night at all and fell asleep really early which ment i woke up this morning at 2 30am!

2:30am- 2 peices white bread and butter/vegemite
7:30am- small bowl bran cereal with 1/2 banana and milk
9am- bit hunk of white fruit loaf with icing on top

Back from Barcelona, which was a bread and sugar funfair of a holiday, and trying to get back on the healthy bandwagon.
What I ate today:
7am: 1/2 tub lowfat vanilla yoghurt, apple,seeds
9am: 1 slice brown toast and nutella
10am: Apple
11:30am: Cream cheese sandwich on brown bread
1pm: Apple and Ginger hot juice and a few bites of toms panini
3pm: fruit and nut bar
4pm: Large size fish sushi
7pm- 1/4 cookie and big hunk brown fruit bread(no butter)
8:30pm- Large bowl spinach salad w/mackeral and a little cheese/apple/cucumber/seeds
9:30pm- 1/2 tub lowfat vanilla yoghurt

In hindsight this looks like a healthy day, though i felt that it hadnt been.  Id like to reduce wheat bread as much as possible, preferably switching to rye, and a max of 2 slices of bread a day.  I didnt really need to eat the yoghurt after dinner, i wasnt hungry and it was more out of something to do then a real hunger...same with sushi, i wasnt really hungry at the time.

Sun 5th November 2011

So ive decided to start up this food diary so that i can keep an eye on my eating habits and eating patterns around food and also exercise.  I have gained a little weight recently rising up to approx 11 stone 5lb a couple of weeks ago (this was clothed and in the afternoon, as well as close to my period).  I have always thought that around the 10stone mark is a great weight for me to maintain at, and I have hovered around the middle to upper 10stone for a good few years now, though I do not weigh myself very often at all I am pretty sure judging by my clothing that I dont move to much around that range of weight.  I do feel that, though I am perfect at this weight, I would like to kerb some of my sugar and wheat eating habits and in the process get back in to the middle 10stone range.  To help me be more aware of what I am eating and when, I decided to start this blog.
-I got a little tip from a friend of mine last night, that she drinks a pint of warm water first thing when she wakes up and then doesnt have breakfast for half an hour after that time...she finds that she eats a lot less and more healthily and it really sets her up for a healthy day.  I might try this tomorrow morning, as I am working at the cafe at 11 so will have more time then usual in the morning.

10am - 2peices gluten free toast and butter with marmite and a chunk of wheat baguette and butter....a small bite of lemon cake.
1pm - medium size bowl of maple crunch granola and low fat natural yoghurt.
3pm - Rye bread sandwich with 3veggi sausages and a fried egg+ketchup.....cup earl grey tea.
5pm - cup of sweetened milky chai and a mouthful of pasta bake
7pm - half packet of Gnochi w/tbsp pesto, cheese, and mushrooms and courgette
9pm - half big choc cookie and a little square lemon cake

Obviously quite a lot of sweet stuff in there, didnt really need the choc chip cookie but really hard to resist and did well at not eating the whole thing!  Also not really necessary to eat the granola as not very hungry at all and would have been fine to drink something and maybe have a little yoghurt and jam.  Not many veggis at all, would like to see more greens!    xxx
