1st high carb day this week
Food:

Breakfast: cottage cheese w/Splenda
(200 g cottage cheese, a few drops Splenda

Lunch: fried eggplant w/hot chilli sauce and light cream
(1 tbs olive oil, 2 eggplant slices, 1/3 tbs Tamari soy sauce, pepper &
salt, 1 ts hot chilli sauce, 1 ts light cream)

Dinner (restaurant w/friend):
appetizers: seafood tris - codfish spread, octopus salad, sardines w/onion
and
olive oil, and tuna w/tomato sauce; tomato & red pepper
(two bites of each; tiny slice of tomato & red pepper garnish)
main course: clams in white sauce
(1 portion - clams in shells, white sauce: sea water, bread crumbs, garlic,
parsley, white wine - all cooked together, dressed w/fresh lemon juice)
dessert: pancakes of the house
(1/2 portion - 1 pancake, ground walnuts, chocolate, marmalade, whipped
cream)

This dinner wasn't planned, but my friend wanted to celebrate her birthday
before I go away on a holiday, so we went to this dinner. I think I did
rather well; we shared the appetizers so I had two very small bites of each,
and decided to split the dessert, too.
As we moved the shopping trip for Friday and I planned that to be my only
high carb day this week, I think I will make an adjustment; *today* is my
high carb day for this week, and the day of the shopping will be just a
regular day carb-wise - we will still probably go to the Chinese restaurant,
but I will choose something like fish/veggies or meat/veggies, stay away
from dumplings, sauces, fried things, and desserts, and I'm sure I'll do
fine and won't go much over my carb budget.

Water = 8 cups; sparkling water = 2 cups
White wine = 2 cups

Exercise: none, a little walking to and back from the restaurant, and cca 2
hrs housework (mainly packing for the holiday and everything that involves)

According to Fitday = 70 grams of carbs (1382 calories).

Goodness, I never did - a few mouthfuls of second-hand brandy, and mine
slept like the proverbial baby! I couldn't drink while I was expecting,
it made me feel sick, but made up for it once she arrived. And there
was the famous occasion when we all forgot that babies can't digest
second-hand curry (unless their mothers eat it every day).... but again,
second-hand brandy did the trick!

The walk sounds wonderful! I played hooky from work Tuesday, with their
permission, and spent the day riding the bike trails. Since it's a
volunteer position it qualified for a program at work that gives us two days
off each year for volunteer work in the community. I took my other day and
went fishing with kids in the "Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs" program.

This program sounds like a really nice idea! And the things you did
sound like fun too.
