And the band played on...

First orchestra rehearsal of the year - we're playing Carmen, which went fairly well. Not the most interesting horn part, but not a bad thing if, as rumour has it, another piece is Brahms: Academic Festival Overture, which has unpleasant transposition.

Anyway, ate well today, but probably too much. Although I have been out and about a fraction more...

Breakfast: bowl of porridge with stewed apple and pear.

Morning tea: half a piece vegan banana cake, black tea with a splash of milk (no sugar)

Lunch: small bowl of french onion soup, plus a small sandwich with red onion, tomato and smoked cheese. And a bottle of sparkling mineral water. (After orchestra, in pub.)

Afternoon tea: 1 banana. Later, 1 special K muesli bar. (hmmm)

Dinner: low fat beef stew (half a Tesco packet) jazzed up with corn and peas, plus some broccoli and too many boiled new potatoes with chol. reducing marg and two forkfuls low-fat creme fraiche. Generally yummy, but portion size was a bit iffy. Followed by a mug of peppermint tea and three squares of dark chocolate.

I've got a quiet day planned tomorrow, so less food required. We shall see what the scales say on Monday.
