Urgh!

Well that's how I feel after completely falling off the wagon for a couple of days.

It all started on Sunday. Having eaten some lovely faux shepherds pie for a very late lunch just before going off to the concert I felt confident that I'd be OK without food for the rest of the day as I haven't had a huge appetite recently. Of course, I was forgetting that while I might not eat, everyone else would and by 7.30pm just about everyone around me was eating fish & chips, burgers etc - the smell was overwhelming. Suddenly I was STARVING ... and I fancied a drink as I was fed up of water. The wine was £4 for a small bottle, and I couldn't bring myself to drink beer so had a Smirnoff Ice and resisting all the burgers etc. ended up with a Twix. This was fine, but by the time I got to the train after the concert (a mile plus walk to the station and having to run (yes I said run) at the other end not helping) I was starving again so ended up with an egg mayo and tomato baguette.

As I didn't get home till 1.30am I had no time to even think about food for the day, desperately needing sleep instead. Unfortunately, completely forgot I was attending a workshop, so no chance to have my usual standby cooked breakfast, instead ending up with a chocolate croissant. Of course it was a working lunch too, so no chance to go out and IPD friendly food was in very short supply. They did have some mini sausages but they were covered in a honey and mustard dressing. So I ended up having sandwiches, some strange tikka fish on a stick (yuk) and a banana (that craving finally sorted). This would have been OK if I hadn't then had 2 chocolate biscuits. Carb count for the day - enough for about 3 days and my tummy was feeling a bit bloated to say the least. Had a protein shake before heading off to work at the pub, but decided I had to make sure I was sorted for today's workshop.

I had a protein shake for breakfast, and made an omelette to take for lunch so all was going well, until I got sidetracked by the chocolate biscuits again (4 of them in total *ouch*). So whilst I had a better day than the last 2 it still isn't perfect, and I'm still feeling a bit bloated. I daren't weigh myself and may have to give it a miss completely this week just to be on the safe side. Dinner was a venison steak with some faux mash and a rocket & lambs lettuce salad with mayo. I've already dug out some sheperds pie and more salad for lunch tomorrow, so determined to get back on track and feeling better as quickly as possible. I shall also be getting back to my glider which has been sadly neglected for the last couple of days due to lack of time and complete exhaustion.
