Challenging Myself: Day Fifteen

Day Fifteen - Meals

Pre Breakfast - Coffee

Hot lemon water wouldn't cut it this morning I needed some caffeine in me before I braved the frost to go and thaw out all the chickens and the wild birds water drinkers :-)

While I was out doing all my chores I regretted not putting some porridge to soak, but by the time I had done the drinkers, walked the dogs round the paddock, smashed through the ice on the sheeps troughs and buckets, filled up the log basket and stacked the logs by the side of the log burner, then swept out and relaid the fire for tonight ...

... I was nice and warm and my double helping of yoghurt with a third of a tin of peach slices was very welcome. (1)

Dinner was a bowl of my Leftovers Soup and the last of the garlicky croutons. (1)

And my tea was made in exactly the same way as the other week.

Using the pastry I made yesterday.

Lovely, but so filling, I couldn't move after eating it all. (1)

Just 3 of my 5 a day again ... must do better!!

Very tasty indeed. I guess you must be missing your f&v somewhat but I love that you're being real about it all.

Since you have green veggies in the tunnel, can you use some of those for a stir-fry, and serve with rice? or are you restricting the tunnel veggies? I made a version of leftover soup the other day, and it turned out well. Very frugal meal.

As a comment on your reply to Deb in Ohio, the whole point about your new philosophy of being true to yourself is that you are allowed to choose what you eat. (More important is not having to apologise to yourself or anyone else)
I'm loving your challenge and am gleaning lots of ideas from it ie bean and stuffing burgers and that crumble mix can become pastry instead. You are tempting me to try the challenge myself Sue

Why .....

I love a Challenge ... with a big C ... I always have. Why would anyone take the easy road when you can take a swervey, rocky and much more interesting one ... and actually learn something about yourself on the journey.

The idea of this blog is to chart some of my Challenges over the course of the next year or so. Some might last the distance and teach me something along the way, some might be serious and perhaps even a tad inspirational.

Some might just fizzle and die a remarkably quick death. I've been known to leave things unfinished ...

Disclaimer

Challenging Myself is my blog.

I use it to chart the Challenges I set myself and what I do day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year.

In it I also express my views and opinions and say what I do and occasionally how I do it. All saved for posterity ... and to amuse myself in my grand old age.

If you chose to copy or follow along with anything that I do or talk about doing, it is assumed that you will do so with care and consideration, and question where necessary any methods or techniques that I use to your own satisfaction and match them to your own circumstances.

The pictures on each blog post are taken by me, or on occasion found on Google Images, unless otherwise credited, and as such my photographs should not be borrowed or used elsewhere without my consent.
