Good morning (day 65)! Oh woe is me. I made the most excellent and lovely tasting healthy dinner, diligently put the leftovers in a container to cool down for a bit before fridging it, and then awoke today to PJ telling me “I put your container in the fridge just now but it has been out overnight”. Now I have ‘I hate wasting food’ upset PLUS ‘OMG that was really nice though and I was looking forward to seconds’ upset. I can recreate it if I get another tin of spinach, but I’m a bit mopey about the waste.
Here’s yesterday’s food photos:

Top right: Chickpeas, quinoa, spinach, tomatoes, tahini, onion, celery, garlic
Bottom right: Cheesy crackers – these are multigrain crackers that are probably nowhere near as healthy as the advertising on the label wants us to think they are
Update re day 65 food – way too many biscuits. Have learned that my hormones love biscuits. I know some of them are oatcakes but it’s still biscuits (just like poppadoms and prawn crackers are still crisps). According to a popular sanitary towel manufacturer “Fluctuations in hormones affect your neurotransmitters, typically at the time that your egg is released during ovulation. Your body craves carbs, fat and sweets, so you reach for these high-calorie treats. This is an attempt to boost the lower levels of serotonin currently being produced by your body.”
Good oh.
