Fruit and Veg

What I ate today:
Cup of tea, milk, no sugar.
Another cup of tea, milk powder, no sugar.
2 cheese sandwiches made with crusty white bread, 4 sticks of dry wors
1 Litre of lemonade, chunky Kit Kat, packet of roast almonds
Cup of coffee
Another cup of coffee
4 more sticks of dry wors
2 beef sandwiches made with the rest of the crusty white bread. (And salted butter of course)
I think I'm supposed to be eating five portions of fruit and veg daily. Does the lemonade count as a portion of lemons? My princess has made a curry with lamb and plums and coriander. Will the plums in the curry count as another portion when I eat a plate of it with her?
We're thinking of opening a bottle of wine - will the grapes that made the wine count for another portion?
Then I've not done too badly to day. 3 portions of fruit and veg.

Falling off the Wagon

Is it possible I could have fallen off the wagon already, without ever really getting on? Wynand invited me over for a couple of beers and a braai. His friend had brought homemade boerwors...
I stayed for longer than planned, ate more meat than planned, drank more beers than planned.
I walked home.
Could that count as exercise?

A New Broom

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today I have decided. To get fit and go on a diet. I feel really good about making this decision. Taking charge of my life and all that. Today's task is to eat up all the biscuits in the cupboard, and the chocolate bars in the fridge, and the packet of sweets in the car.
Feeling great about my decision already. Maybe a bit sick from all that chocolate. My princess says she's proud of me, and no thanks she doesn't want a sweetie, she's sweet enough already.
