Burger

So I dropped the ball a little today. I was absolutely starving at work. Breakfast was a cereal bar thing and a giant weird tangerine I didn't know existed called a minneola (seriously they blew my mind, they're like orange sized tangerines). I find the days I bother to eat breakfast are the ones I end up ravenous by dinner time...so I took a banana to work as well. Didn't do jack, I was still marving when it came to home time. And I swear, I was planning out my Ryvita in the car and then my dad said they'd been to a farmer's market today and bought burgers...so I got home to this monster of a house burger. Gluten free roll, burger, bit of cheese, onions, mushrooms and a whole load of salad. I have no idea how many calories it came in at to be honest..well I know the bun is around 250 and the salad can't be more than maybe 20-30...but then there's the rest of it.

But never mind. I also decided to try the gluten free cookies mum had bought me with a cup of tea as well..so I'm not doing good at all today thinking about it. I did, however, already do my exercise for the day. I'm pretty hungry right now again. My saving grace could have been what I had for tea...but I know it's a sausage casserole and mash so it's not going to be on the lower end of the calorie scale. Oh well, not like we have burgers every day is it?

So I don't know this week. I feel like I have been doing good but the scales will tell I suppose. I'm sure this biking doesn't burn as many calories as I've read about. It should be like 400 but I don't know. I mean it's not mega intensive the ride that I do, but I alternate between three different levels of difficulty and I end up pretty sweaty by the end and I'm fairly fit despite my size. My heart rate about doubles as well..but I just don't know that it's burning all that many calories.

One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is the compliments I have been getting recently..compliments and comments. I mean, I have literally been about this size now for must be five/six months. I have been around the 14 stone 5-9 pound range. And yet recently, after losing only the best part of six pounds since Christmas, I have had three people comment on my weight loss. People I see every day at work. 'Oo you're wasting away'. This from someone I see three times a week..I don't know. It's crazy. Part of me loves the affirmation that this weight loss is showing (I know that after five stone I have lost a massive chunk of myself..and yet I look in the mirror and it doesn't look so vastly different) and part of me HATES the attention. One of the maintenance guys was chatting to me about how much I've lost and the like for about five minutes and I squirmed the entire time. 

Anyway, enough of that nonsense. I need to stop thinking about the weight I have lost and crack on with losing some more! 

Sounds like a plan. For now though, good boo.
