Monday

Tea, cookies and fruit 

I don't like fruit very much, but I like it in my breakfast 

No lunch because I had my breakfast very late

But I had a snack during the afternoon: infusion, cherry yoghurt with a bit of muesli
Look at my silly-coloured sock and my penguin slipper: yep, it was a lazy afternoon

Chicken hamburger, mixed stewed vegetables and salad for dinner

Another infusion and microwaved pop-corn during the evening, in front of the telly

Damn boredom...

Tuesday

 I have no idea what I had for breakfast. Probably just an espresso.

During the afternoon I had a yummy sandwich with tuna, tomato, tuna sauce, valeriana and olives

For dinner just a quick ordinary piadina after a couple of herbal infusions at the bar's

Saturday

Late lunch (I wasn't hungry at all this morning) with a small hamburger, wicrowaved French fries and a couple of bread fried in meat juices.

I skipped dinner but at 11pm circa I had Chinese cravings. So I ordered fried rice, prawns dumplings and wanton soup to take away.

Monday

I behaved today, because I did eat a lot these days and I feel so full 

Only a tea for breakfast and boiled rice in stock for lunch 

I skipped dinner because I drank too much infusions and barley at the bar's tonight.

And yes, also a rhum and tangerine punch with an empty stomach....Sloshed...

I only had a toast with a slice of prosciutto cotto before going to bed

Monday

Dietetic vanilla cream with granola. Tasty breakfast.

Sweet & Sour Thai Noodles while checking wether forecasts: SNOW soon, how weird in here...

 Few bites of ricotta cheese, pumpking and potato flan before going to bed

Tuesday

Tea and spiced infusion to warm me up

Marie biscuits with banana and chocolate jam

 Spiced fried rice with onion and scrambled egg. 

Boiled beetroot

Turkey hamburger, (burnt) zucchini and valeriana salad

 An awful dietetic stawberry cream

It was a pity to waste some of my last granola left for that sh*t

Saturday

Another calories messy day

I'll behave from Monday I swear...

At least breakfast was healthy

Barley & Ginger coffee and fruit salad with granola

 Beef and potatoes for lunch

It was my first attempt to cook roast-beef...And I clearly failed....Poo.

Well, it was ok as a stew...

Failure arrived in the dark....

 I skipped dinner so I was starving when I came back home at night

I was a little drunk so it didn't help: I just grabbed the first food my hand could touch...

I ended up eating grilled bread with cheese and some Thai noodles

Friday

Messy, messy Friday...

I made a disaster today

I had breakfast with a rice pudding my sister baked yesterday

Then I went to the bar for a coffee

 My mom gave me some left-overs for lunch: (leek?) frittata and a sort of onion-cheese-potato bake

It looked weird but it was good

 Chocolate pudding with granola for a snack

 Pesto & Carbohydrates Night

My plan of the night was pasta with pesto, but my nephew gave me a slice of his pizza left from his dinner so I re-heated adding the last spoons of pesto in the jar and I ate it as well despite I was full after the pasta

 Friday night at the Film Club

We watched "Far from Heaven" and after the movie they offered us some sweet

How lovely!

Saturday

Tiring day yesterday, but funny 

For breakfast I had lemon and ginger infusion, some tchai tea left from yesterday and a slice of my ruhm, pear and spices cake.

Left-overs for lunch as well: passatelli with vegetable stock, a bit of salami, croutons with mortadella mousse and chicken liver paté.

Basically this was my dinner but I had it at 11pm.

Baguette with melted gorgonzola cheese, one with pumpkin sause and the other with radicchio sauce

I fell asleep with this basket on my side....I'm in trouble today...I did exceeded in calories

Monday

It's tough to be on the diet when:

1) you're bored

2) you're starving even if you're full because all the gorging made you a calories addicted

3) you're sad and think that nobody loves you and you feel different. And maybe wrong.

4) you're feeling lonely

5) you're premestrual

6) you think of the previous year and you feel nostalgic and depressed

7) you're nervous

8) there's plenty of yummy left-overs all over the place

9) you're disappointed because you gained again the kilo you lost right after Christmas

10) you're inviting people to visit you but everyone has better things to do

I wished to behave today but I couldn't make it this time...

I've been good (more or less) for breakfast: ginger and lemon infusion, 2 soft amaretti and the last gianduiotto

I wanted to avoid carbohydrates today but there were few boiled lasagne left from yesterday: so I cut them in little pieces and I re-heated adding pesto. It could go worse.

 

Here come the worse: a huge caffellatte cup with a small pandoro to dip in it

That was slightly outragious, also because I wasn't hungry at all...

 

...And to put a tragic end to the night, I couldn't help to nibble my food fetish: mayo!

Spread on crackers.

And I have other festive lunches and dinners planned....

This time my nutritionist is going to kill me!!

    OOPSIE!!

I went on nibbling pop-corn during the night

I'm ashamful indeed

Boxing Day - Monday

I woke up with indigestion. Awful.

Expecially when you have another feast planned for lunch...
 I did need a ginger infusion when I woke up but I couldn't help to eat the last bite of profiteroles left

My family usually don't celebrate Boxing Day 

But this year there were plenty of left-overs so we ended up inviting my Aunt and Cousin again and have the nth copious lunch with lots of starters (including panzanelle: deep fried pizza dough. Delicious with sandwich meat), the last cappelletti in stuffed chicken bouillon, few bites of stuffed veal with green salad and tuna stuffed round pepper as sides. 

Profiteroles again.

I stayed in bed all day long. I was knackered because of food, stomach ache and lack of sleep.

I had a long and deep nap

I had a small dinner at 10.30pm before going out: it was a greasy focaccia stuffed with cheese and prosciutto but it wasn't good at all. I planned just a mug of stock for dinner but I ate that just because I had to throw it away 'cause it was old and I hate to waste food.

At night I did a very bad thing.

I didn't even noticed I did that because I was under the effect of hypnotics I use to sleep

I ate a lot of bretzes before falling asleep. In days I assumed 59379736578026327136273 calories.

That was a stupid extra. Silly me.

Sunday

6 am, before leaving 

My first picture with my new camera

In a hurry and blurry   :P

Latte macchiato and crisp bread with pear and chocolate jam

Snack with crackers on my train to Milan. 

Damn, I want mayo

 Brunch with friends @American Donuts (Milan)

Scones and bread with few dips, bagel with eggs benedict and smoked salmon, French fries and a brownie with a lot of whipped cream. And orange squash and Americano coffee.

Well what else can I say? One of my best breakfasts ever.

I promised myself to do not touch any food for the rest of the day.
But at 12am circa I was starving and I chose the quickest choice.
Troubles on troubles
German sausages stuffed with cheese, mayo and apricot juice.
I'll behave tomorrow, I promise

Thursday

Thursdays are weird.

You always knows how they start (errands in the weekly market, coffee in Piazza Duomo), but you never know how they end...They often can be more destructive than Saturdays

Ordinary beginning of the day: black tea with few drops of lemon juice and crisp bread with 1) fig jam 2) raspberry jam 3) pear and chocolate jam 4) milk and coconut spread. 

I needed to know which is the best.

Comfy breakfast in bed with my Pasta d'Acciughe monkey and Christmas on-line shopping.

Happy start

 Ultra fat lunch

 Rösti with grilled tomino cheese with a slice of roasted speck on. With trifolati artichokes on a side.

Nope, I didn't go skiing...I only cleaned up my fridge and I found out that I had some yummy food that's going to expire soon, so I want to save cooking it: it'll be a waste (and a pity) throwing away all that good stuff in the bin, so these days some diet's slips are planned...

A glass of Bolgheri rosso and tons of crisps @Gatto Nero (Pietrasanta) with friends

Piadina with prosciutto cotto, sottiletta cheese and mayo at 12am

I ate in my own bed before sleeping, how unhealthy!!

This is what it usually happens when I substitute my dinner with aperitivo....

Basically it was the Melted Cheese Day

Is there something yummier than melted cheese? Just love it.
