Lunch:- It was a bit hectic today, what with preparing ponies for a show tomorrow, teaching sessions, training sessions, shopping and farmville but i did have three pairs of almost teenage hands to help. We collected my four day stash of fruit and veg from my local green grocer, who, i have discovered quite recently, as being the cheapest place around to purchase the buckets full of fruit and veg which i now consume. Right next door is a chippy and due to the lack of time available today we voted to have a greasy lunch...... but not me. Salt and vinegar chips out of paper smell sooooo nice but i had three pickled eggs instead, oh and two lovely sweet apples on route back to the yard. I unloaded the shopping and filled my pockets up with raw carrots and a pack of crab sticks which i munched through over the next hour.
I never eat or drink from 1pm on a Thursday because of it being weigh in day so everyone has to keep out of my way if they are eating.
7.30pm :- I'm greeted by friendly faces and prepare myself to weigh in. The shoes, jacket and jumper all come off and i empty my pockets, as i step on board almost holding my breath. Yes, I've managed to loose two and a half  lb and am delighted. I then sit and eat the fruits that I've taken with me and today its a tray of grapes, an apple, banana and a fig.
Dinner:- Grilled chicken drum sticks which have had all the skin removed before cooking, steamed sprouts, carrots and broccoli with a large jacket potatoe served with warmed up passatta as a sauce, and vinegar to taste.
For desert, a big bowl of good old fat free yogurt, sweetener to taste with fresh strawberries, raspberries and a sliced fig. I'll save my hi-fibre bar for my bed time snack.
