Bit of a weird day. Ended up only having the one meal before work and then my work snack!
Dinner was chicken & chorizo soup, grilled chicken with spinach, Alpen bar, tangerine and greek 0% yogurt with berries.
Work was my usual boiled egg with spinach and an Alpen bar.

Breakfast passed me by with chores and jobs!
Lunch was a pickled herring salad with seaweed salad. Some greek yogurt and berries.
Dinner was another new try! szchuan aubergines! they were spicy 😜 with steak, broccoli, mushroom and pak choi.
I was a bit shocked to see my sugar for the day (although I tend to look over the week as an even out) the herring and seaweed on their own were 17.5g/15.9g on their own!

Weather was horrific overnight, high temp and muggy, so very little sleep was had.
Waited til lunch time to eat, only because I wasnt hungry.
Lunch was grilled chicken with warm lettuce, a nectarine and mixed nuts. I didnt have the berries and yogurt as I was stuffed.
Dinner was spicy beef strips with loads of veggies.

So today I made the decision to fast for 24hrs; basically I got fed up with my stomach telling me I was hungry, when I knew darn well I wasnt! How could I be hungry straight after eating.
So I thought I go back to the beginning and basically rethink my body/brain. Dinner last night finished at 7.30pm and dinner tonight was around the same time.
Now I DID get hungry, I felt those gnawing pangs and my brain was often screaming at me, but I gulped water, squash and tea like I was drowning, kept myself busy and listened to my stomach. Thankfully it was 34C again today so I didnt really fancy any breakfast or lunch but by dinner I was getting a little fidgety for food.
Dinner was teriyaki salmon with salad, roasted BNS, broccoli and peppers.
I may try the same again tomorrow as Im not enjoying the hunger feeling, or it controlling me, but only if I feel ready/upto it.

Finally got a few things done today despite the heat!
Breakfast was quite early; wholemeal pitta with cheese spread, ham and edamame beans.
Lunch in contrast was very late.....Chicken Chorizo & rice soup, (another) wholemeal pitta with cheese 😕 feeling the need for "comfort" food today, fruits and mixed nuts.
Dinner was the much loved Chicken & Pepper curry, with spinach instead of rice.
