76.8
2 days at 76.8. Time to take the limits in hand again. I went close to 6000 for a few days. I baked an oat biscuit that has some sultanas and walnuts. Could I say it is some fruit and some protein as well as a sweet treat to justify allocating 1000kJ for each piece? Probably. I have also baked a mulberry slice ( since we have a lot of fresh mulberries on the tree now) 1000kJ per slice. It has a fruit portion so I can justify the high count.
In order to control the kJ count I have decided to eat my protein at lunch and my vegetables at dinner. Basically dividing my meal size in half.
Today was banana pikelets for breakfast and two snacks - 2110kJ
Chicken, 1/2cup rice and sweet and sour sauce for lunch - 1431kJ
After lunch coffee and 2 pikelets with jam - 330 for the coffee
Afternoon tea was a cup of mulberries 150kJ
Dinner was carrot, beans, potato and sauce - 725kJ
After dinner was 2 pikelets and jam and tea. Today's jam was 150kJ
Total 4896kJ ..... but I did have a few tastes of my mulberry slice and maybe a few extra fresh mulberries so around 5000kJ is more correct.
It seemed easier to stick to the plan today.
Tomorrow I have planned small porridge for breakfast 750kJ
Morning tea is mulberry slice and tea - 1000kJ
Lunch is prawns and seafood sauce 1300kJ
Slice for afternoon tea - 1000kJ
Veges for dinner as yesterday - 725kJ
After dinner medium banana - 365kJ
Total 5140kJ
Hope I lose weight tomorrow.
First goal is 70kg. Final goal is 60kg

Hungry days
77.0kg
Even with 2 big days just under 7000kJ I have still lost weight. I was really hungry and felt like I was eating all the time. But even with extra coffee and chocolate and extra breakfast or crackers with peanut butter I counted kJ and kept it under 7000 deliberately.
Today I had a small porridge breakfast - 1/4 cup oats and 1/2 cup milk - 750kJ
Then all you can eat lunch! Battered fish, chips, rice, satay chicken, potato salad. Then jelly with a spoon of custard, a spoon of cream and 100mL of soft serve. Total about 4000kJ.
Dinner is beans, carrot and sauce - 285kJ
After dinner 1 cracker with peanut butter and honey 365kJ
Total = 5400kJ
Just veges for dinner is pretty slim but I'm sure I can be a bit hungry if need be and survive.

Eating Well
77.3kg today.
I am losing steadily even though yesterday I had lots of snacks. It was supposed to be 4696kJ plus 2 pears but instead I had:
1 pear 290
handful of mini marshmallows 395
Another coffee 330
Another 1/2 a piece of choc 300
and left over fresh juice 100
At this point I had to rethink dinner. Beans 50 and carrot 135 and sweet chili sauce 100 = 285
I figured this would not satisfy me so I doubled the veges and mixed gravy with the sauce - another 285. So dinner was 570 rather than the planned 1095.
I thought I had blown it but the total was 5586kJ and I lost weight!
Today is 1/2 cup oats and 1/2 cup milk plus extra water with 1tsp honey and 1 tsp butter for topping for breakfast- 1395kJ
Lunch is roast lamb 100g, 1 medium roast potato, 1 piece of roast pumpkin , 1 roast carrot and boiled beans and gravy - 2000kJ
Dinner has to be left over chicken (150g when raw) 750kJ plus beans, carrot and 1 tsp sweet chili sauce - total 1035kJ
4430kJ so far. Room for some fruit. A pear 290 and a banana 365 and a two orange glass of juice 200. I am pretty full after the porridge so I will have only tea for morning tea or a pear if I have to eat something. The banana and cup of tea for afternoon and the orange juice for after dinner.
Projected total is 5285. But it isn't even lunch time yet. There is still a bit of room for coffee if I need it.

Slowly losing
Today I was 77.5
Yesterday 77.4 (23rd)
Day before that 77.5 (22nd)
19th I was 77.7
So, slowly but surely. The last few days my kJ count has been close to 6000. Today I will try to keep below 5500.
Toast and tea for breakfast with jam and vegemite - 1000
Coffee (330), 1/2 a piece of chocolate (300) and a banana (365) for morning tea - 995
Lunch is chicken (750) with 1/2 cup rice (395), beans (50) and carrot (135) with 1/4 cup of sweet and sour sauce (275) - 1605
I will cook double and save half for tomorrows lunch.
And dinner is chickpeas with tomatoes and beans and carrot - 1095
One tin of chickpeas and one tin of tomatoes is enough for two meals so I will add extra beans and carrot to make tomorrows dinner as well.
Cooking double is convenient and makes it easy for the next day.
Total so far is 4696kJ
I will probably have a couple of pears. One for afternoon and one after dinner. 2 x 290 is 580
4696 +580 = 5276kJ
