Yesterday evening I tried the nut muesli for the first time – I know it contains carbs and I had it after 7 pm actually but I just couldn’t bring myself to cook something, so in order to avoid not eating I ended up checking out my new breakfast choice, nut museli without fruit.
It’s susposed to be 60 grams, so I weighed 60 grams and added 200 ml of 1.5% milk and ate it with a small spoon … and, well, it was good and oddly enough, it got me satisfied.
So this morning and grabbed my old and rather bad food scale and weighed all the food for the day and this is what I ate today… by the way, I don’t intend to blog all my food choices every day, just occationally.

New rules!!
Concerning liquits; I had, let’s see.
The milk coffee this morning, a little later one mug of coffee, then 2 mugs of rooibos tea with each 2 teaspoons of powdered milk. 1 1/2 liters of water at work. At home I had one glass of pepsi light – I am allowing myself only one glass max at the moment but I am sure soon, once my light soda stock is gone, which might take me a week or two, since I am only having one glass each day, I am not going to buy any new light sodas and stick to water, tea and coffee only.
I know that by then I will be able to do it. I might every now and then have a diet soda outside but I will no more buy a whole bottle for my fridge or anything.
So that was my first day with the new food choices, apart from that I am working hard on finding a new flat for my parents here in Bonn. Since Leuscherath, where they used to live up until May this year, didn’t work out, due to the rent getting too high, Nordwalde not working out and also no flat has been found in Meerbusch where my Mom is with my cousine at the moment, the decision was made that Bonn will be it.
By the way, my Dad is with my younger sister and her husband Bernd in Nordwalde at the moment, until he will be picked up for the health retreat next week.
Anyway, at the moment there are several flats that I have applied for and one looks quite promising if all goes well.

All the way in the back, that’s the Kottenforst by the way…
This would be the view from their kitchen window and balcony if “prettypleeeeease” all goes well. I was able to get into that flat last week Wednesday.
I haven’t been able to get into the other places since they are still occupied at the moment. So I am basically checking out this and that, rush to the townhall, to get this and that and my brain is busy with this and that as well.
Three more weeks and the desicion will be made and in the meantime I will have to continue looking and find a place in my part of town which is Bonn – Friesdorf. I just pray it won’t take too long because it’s been quite some time since my Mom had her own kitchen to sit in.
Anyway, that’s it for today.
Sleep tight everyone. 😉
Your food looks delicious!
As far as soda goes, I used to live off the stuff. It’s a hard habit to break, but once you get past it, it’s hard to go back. I’ve been ‘soda free’ for about 2 years, other than one cup every 2-3 months when I get thirsty for something bubbly. It’s way too sweet for me now. I take a few sips, and my stomach hurts, haha. Good luck!!!
Oh, I most definately also lived off that stuff until recently. Now that I am being “controlled”, it’s time to let go of that habit and enjoy it ONLY as what it is, an occational treat. 😉
great info!
Thanks Ronnie. 😉
It’s hard to keep moving forward with so much on your plate – I hope you find a good spot for your parents. I’ve never acquired a taste for carbonated drinks but your post is sending me to the kettle – and I predict a nice cup of tea in my immediate future!
Wow what a view! Hope you get this one for your parents and you worries will be over!
I didn’t realised in the other comment I left that you still have to weigh everything you eat. Your food look good and you had all your protein anyway
🙂
I’m glad to hear you liked the muesli. I’ve never tried it, but I’ve heard it’s good for you.
Best of luck with the new flat! Hopefully everyone will be settled soon – yourself included!!
