D'oh (again)

Not doing so well at keeping up this blog. I keep forgetting to take photos of things with my camera, and the camera on my phone is a slowly expanding cloud of silicon dust. :p So, as a result, I've been forgetting to update the blog as well. :(

I'm in Barcelona at the moment, so I'll mostly be updating once a day, possible the following morning regarding the previous day.

I actually ended up skipping breakfast and lunch yesterday. D'oh. Made up for it at dinner, though.

We went to the new branch of Mussol at Las Arenas, which is a high-quality chain specialising in Catalan cuisine. Our starter was asparagus and Romesco sauce, which is a bit like a slightly spicy nut butter made with almonds, pine nuts and hazelnuts. Very tasty (and fortunately not too much sauce :p).

My main was a selection of Catalunyan meats and cheeses, which was cheating slightly with the cheese, but I couldn't really have anything else on the menu as everything here seems to come with potatoes. :p

My desert, on the other hand, was a definite Bad Ben No Cookie moment. Four dark chocolate Mariano truffels. Omnomnom. But bad. :p

Dinner 8th October.

Beef mince with some smoked paprika and tomato juice.

Lunch

Skipped breakfast. Bad ben. Lunch is a naked burrito without the rice. Omnomnom. I got the pork filling this time.

Cheat day noms

Well, lunch was a bottle of 7up and a chicken Caesar bagel.

Dinner was at Belgo Centraal on Shelton Street.

I had this:

Three of these:

This:

And this:

Best bit? The air conn dripped condensation into my mussels, so I got a new bowl, and the drinks were free! Yay! :D

Hmm...

I think I need to write "take photos!!" on the fridge door, as I've forgotten //again//!!

Had cheese on toast today (first cheat day :p). And I was 17 st 5 lbs this morning, so slightly down on yesterday, but not massively. :/ Oh well!

Fronion soup with lentils in it

Omnomnom!

(Edit: Terrible lighting!)

Bleh

I'm not doing very well at this remembering to post thing, am I? ;)

I just had eggs for breakfast this morning. Wasn't really all that hungry. Also, I was 17st 6lbs when I weighed myself this morning, which is annoying, as I was 17st 4lbs - 8lbs down from when I started the diet! >.<

Oh well.

I'm going to make the lentil soup thing in a bit. It's a good job I actually like lentils!

Now to find some bacon…

Doh!

Forgot to photo breakfast and lunch. I had a burrito in a box with the rice swapped for mixed vegetables for lunch, and breakfast was the same as yesterday: egg whites with spinach.

Dinnah!

Cod with chilli and paprika with spinach. :)

Late lunch

Lentils, cauliflower, spinach, and rosbif. Added a tiny bit of Cross and Blackwell Browning to add some flavour, with a few teaspoons of smoked paprika. Omnomnom!

Breakfast, day 4

Well, this is somewhat late. ;) I overslept by about 5 hours as I didn't get to sleep until 4am. (The Witcher 2 is a great game, BTW. ;) ) However, I've found that, regardless of the time I wake up, the egg is the best thing to have for breakfast. The first day I had a proper lunch (the dhaal thing) instead, and I didn't feel anywhere near as energetic as I have since I started eating the eggs and spinach for breakfast. Must be the amount of protein in them. :)

ION, I've lost at least 6 lbs since Thursday morning. Unfortunately, I didn't take a measurement then, and if I compare to the night before, I lost 9 lbs. :o

Dinner

Steak with cauliflower and spinach. :)

Edit: That didn't work so well, TBH. Most of the veg went into the bin. Self-note: Mustard powder needs something to go with it, and it doesn't go well with the wrong coating. (Seaweed and dill... D'oh! Picked up the wrong pot.)

Dinlunch

Pork with mixed veg :) Tasty hot paprika added to the pan to add some flavour.

Next breakfast

Same as yesterday, minus the beans. Incidentally, I'm 17st 7.5lbs this morning. O.o
