Success again

74.8kJ 25th November 2010
yesterday 74.9kJ

My weight has dropped nicely since I started the 12 14 12 12 plan. I was desperate to get my intake down from about 5700 to 5000kJ. I decided that four decent meals with 3 1/2 hours between them was a reasonable goal. 4 hours is too long and I feel miserable so I settled on 3 1/2. This timing also fitted in with when Neville wanted his lunch. I don't eat anything other than at those times and I try to get to the full kJ amount for each meal.
Today:
Rice cereal and milk - 1073 (7:30)
Steak(100g), beans, carrot, gravy - 1195 (11:00)
Mango, 1/2 large banana and large coffee - 1200 (14:30)
1 sausage, beans, carrot, sweet and sour sauce - 985 (18:00)

I found that the sausage dinner was plenty last night. I ate half a banana to get up the kJ count but felt over full.
I will see how I feel at lunch. Yesterday I had a small coffee and a 90kJ chocolate stick after the same steak lunch.
I have found that the cereal alone is enough for breakfast. I vary the menu with orange juice, 1 egg on toast and small cereal, two eggs on 1 slice of toast, pikelets with banana and jam and coffee. They all fit into 1200kJ.
