Day 4 and still going strong

Forgot to post yesterday as I was rather busy with cooking and washing up (mounds and mounds of the stuff). I had my first non-breakfasty breakfast - avocado and cream cheese wrapped in smoked salmon - absolutely delicious. Of course it helped that it was some of my all time favourite foods and I didn't eat early, about 10.30am so not sure how it would go down at 7am but enjoyed it so much I had the same thing for breakfast today at about the same time.

As I was working at the pub I made an omelette with ham, cheese, onion, mushrooms and tomato and cut it into bite size pieces so I could chomp on it through the shift. This was a great idea, but rather carb intensive - next time I shall have to change the ingredients a bit. Stopped for a drink after work with Andrea and Tina and I only drank soda water. It was a bit weird but I managed to get through it.

I was supposed to have the tarragon chicken that I didn't get round to on Day 1 but instead spent the evening cooking a faux shepherd pie (called that because it uses cauliflower instead of potato - I added some broccoli too and it is scrummy), a bit of which I ended up having for dinner.

Today for work I took some celery stuffed with cream cheese wrapped in ham, plus some baby bels for a snack. This evening I had another portion of the shepherd pie which I had with a mixed salad with blue cheese dressing. I also found time to make my lunch for tomorrow - tuna nicoise salad. Stayed for another drink with Andrea and Tina (A and I having a joke about sharing a jug of water) and then even went back down the pub for a drink with Andrew later. Me not drinking is definitely good for him as it meant I could give him a lift home rather than him having to get a taxi. Let's hope he doesn't get too used to it! *LOL*

I have realised that I am going to have to rearrange my kitchen again. Yesterday I used my steamer for the first time ever and I dug out my food processor which hasn't seen the light of day for about 8 years! I will need to use both of them regularly so think the newish George Foreman grill and Smoothie Maker will have to go into storage for the time being. Grilled food has no place on this plan and as I can't eat any fruit, juice or yoghurt till Phase 2 I'm not likely to be using that any time soon either.
