I have mixed emotions with myself right now. I do know though, I AM HUNGRY.
It all began when my dad, who seems to use my visits as an excuse for a take away ordered us a Chinese.
Now, what I am pleased about is, for the first time in my life I wasn't greedy with my take away. I had one serving and I didn't give myself enormous portions and I was pleasantly full rather than totally stuffed.
It didn't get much better from there though. I was persuaded to go drinking way too easily. Drinking = sugar = sugar cravings the next day.
Saturday I spent the day hungover and didn't run. That is fine, I used it as my rest day but I ate quite a lot of shit food. Although, I have to say, not as much as I have previously when hungover. (Small victory).
Sunday I was incredibly pleased with myself all day. I got up and had the best run yet, I did three miles effortlessly. We then went out for a carvery, not the best but not the worst. The thing is it was an awkward time. 4:30pm to eat? I was starving again by 9.
All week I was at home in Yorkshire visiting family so at 8pm I set off back to Cheshire (Where I now reside) and took with me some car treats.
Percy and his friends are not my friend |
After carting 10 bags up and down three flights of stairs to my top floor flat my blood sugar levels were so low I thought I would fall back down again. So Cheerios and noodles (not together) were my saviors. At 10pm!
Today however, was a new day and a new week. I have written out a food plan and intend to stick to it.
Whereas I am angry at myself for missing out on the gym and Zumba class (I never skip exercise on a Monday) I am comfortable in knowing that you should not force yourself to exercise if you really don't want to that day.
I have also had a very healthy eating day. I have eaten 1,200 calories (my daily goal) and they have all come from fruit and vegetables. Predominantly.
I am dreading getting on the scales tomorrow. I can cope with 2 or 3 additional pounds, I can't expect less after the greedy week I had but anymore will break me.
Overall I feel this week is going to be a good week, I feel positive. I CAN DO IT.
