Day 36 - Starch Solution

Today’s stats:

Reasonably good start today, and I finally got to try the puffed millet with soy milk. I’ve finally found one (as I think I mention in a previous post) that doesn’t have added junk in it. It was a revelation seeing many soy milk drinks contain milk solids - I mean half the reason most people move to soy milk from cow’s milk is to avoid the contents - and yet they add that same crap into the soy milk. Seriously I doubt half the people who drink it even know that’s going on.

Anyway breakfast was good although by 9:45 I was really hungry. Clearly this isn’t going to fill me up unless it’s a much bigger bowl, so I might have to give that a try. It’s tasty enough though, there’s just not enough starch in there to keep me full. I might have to eat it in concert with other things or perhaps have it as a snack instead.

Due to getting quite hungry, I decided to at one of the McDougall pots. It was the curry almond brown and wild rice salad. It was actually pretty good, and I quite enjoyed it. The previous rice pots I tried (this is going back a while) were a bit disappointing, but this one was quite enjoyable.

Lunch was the usual box, but I didn’t feel super hungry, probably because I’d eaten a pot only an hour or so before. I ended up eating the rest throughout the day as a snack.

By the time I got home, I was pretty hungry again, and had a nice bowl of food waiting for me (most Chinese food is placed in bowls - they don’t seem to have much use for plates especially as plates don’t work all that great with chopsticks). I did have a nice little surprise because I had a lot of soy beans (edamame) in the bowl. but this time they were pre-pealed and were much easier to shovel into my mouth. Very tasty - added a bit of crunch and texture to the food. Very nice indeed :)

Another large drop

As you can see from today’s reported weight, there was another big drop. Not sure the reason for it, but confident it will reverse itself to somewhere in the 90KG (or potentially even breach 91KG). These large drops are unusual and not really representative of reality although I’ll quite admit they’re fun to see. Just as long as we don’t take them too seriously :)
