Progress?????

Has it really been nearly a week since my last post? - I've been busy.  Few weeks into the new term and everything is in full swing - back to 'Mum Taxi Mode'.


But busy as I have been - I have, amazingly, still stuck to the SCD.


The routine this week was mainly a bowl of yoghurt with stewed apples for breakfast.
Lunch tended to be a ripe banana, some cheese slices and a pumpkin muffin.
Dinner/Tea - a piece of protein (lamb chops/steak/chicken) with either pureed carrots and parsnips or roasted butternut squash.  And that's been it.  Still not very varied but I think I might be seeing a little progress.


I'll see what happens over next few days before posting about it.


Two things amazing me:

• that I'm still not feeling that hungry even though I am eating about a third of what I used to eat
• my self-discipline! I usually have no will power.  I can't diets.  SCD has so far, been easy.  I even coped with this....

Today we went to the 'Taste Northern Ireland Garden Party' in the beautiful Botanic Gardens in Belfast - so much lovely food for the trying - including some of my favourites...

Various breads from our local independent bakery, rice and bean salads, crepe with Nutella and (not the most appetising photo I know but I do love them) cocktail sausages.

It must be a form of self-torture to go to that - but all was not lost - there was plenty of this..

The gorgeous Fivemiletown Creamery cheese - those little Boilie's at the front were delicious.

So, heading into week three - I'm feeling good about it.  Will keep you posted how it goes.
