Tracking Everything

I worked from home today so I cooked for myself and tracked everything I ate and drank.

Breakfast was 2 eggs cooked with kale and served with Cholula hot pepper sauce.

This is a vegetable I haven’t eaten for a while.

I chopped up potatoes, fennel and carrots and roasted them in 1 tbsp olive oil for half an hour. I added 2 peppers and roasted for another 30 minutes with the Bratwurst.

One Bratwurst with roasted veggies. A surprisingly high 615 calories mainly because of the bratwurst (300) and the potatoes (237). Tasty though.

For dinner I cooked a really simple but tasty pork and beans meal in the slow cooker

Which I served with a mountain of broccoli.

So today was an excellent eating day. I stuck to my calories, ate vegetables with every meal and had very low sugar. Another day done.

About Lose Weight and Gain Health

Hi! My name is Zoe and I live in Hastings, East Sussex, with my son Harvey and dog, Milton. I have been fighting the fat for years but this time I am serious. I want to lose weight and gain health. This blog is about how I am changing my lifestyle so I can lose weight but not by just "being on a diet" but by making small changes to our lives so that as I lose weight, I gain health. I want my family to be healthy too and never have to struggle with their weight like I have. In common with many large people, I have gained and lost weight many times over the years. This time, I want to lose it and maintain a healthy low weight. I am interested in eating food that is nutrient dense and delicious and that appeals to children and adults. I do not eat animal products so follow a vegan diet. I try to use locally produced food supplemented with what I can grow myself. I support and try to use local farmers markets and farm shops. Another objective is to add more exercise to our days. It sounds so simple when I write it down :-)
