Today has been a good day I feel. Calorie wise I've stuck within my boundaries mostly. There is chocolate all over work at the moment. I work in a care home and as a token of thanks, families of the residents generally donate some form of confectionery to the departments...course there are about 65 residents so you can imagine the amount of chocolate kicking about.
Even the advances of one of our more overzealous Polish team members brandishing a tin in my face didn't break my will power! She has decided I'm starving myself due to the weight I have already lost...which couldn't be further from the truth but she won't have any of it. I tend not to bother eating anything at work, even on the weekends when I do actually have a lunch break, simply because I'm part time so I'd rather just wait till when 2 o'clock rolls round and I can get something at home. (NB: this does not, in fact, apply to break time..when I have been known to indulge in biscuits from the tin..usually a couple of digestives). But because I 'skip dinner' at work she assumes I'm not eating at all and often pops up thrusting a satsuma, or other handy fruit, into my face whilst declaring 'eat, eat!' in her broken English (NB: because I tend to work with her most often I am called in to try to figure out what she's trying to say on the numerous occasions that no one has a clue what she's going on about).
As I say though, I do tend to go home to eat. But this has the adverse affect of me being pretty hungry by the time I reach the kitchen and going on a nibble fest. I try, of a morning, to grab some sort of food to eat in the car. I tend to skip breakfast because I don't get hungry until I've been awake a few hours and I mostly get up about half an hour before I'm due to leave because frankly, I just like to sleep! So breakfast tends to consist of some sort of fruit (as long as it's not over ripe. I HATE mushy fruit with a passion) and a yoghurt drink containing all them friendly bacteria. For the last year I've been having gut problems (I'll do a separate blog post on this I think. Long story) and Captain Doctor told me the cheery, helpful bacteria might help. Lovely little chaps. They're not having an adverse affect so far so hey ho, might as well keep trying.
Anyway, this morning I actually did bother with breakfast in the form of Marmite on toast. I am entirely team love it. It worked in that, come break time around 10.30 am, I wasn't remotely interested in the biscuit tin. I might continue this practice tomorrow and have another bash at breakfast on the go. See if it's one good habit I can actually try to stick to...Not going to lie, it probably won't be.
For now though, good boo!
