Sunday is pretty much a lather, rinse repeat affair these days...insomuch as I get home from work, get presented with a plate of roast amazingness and then inevitably fall asleep by accident in a post roastie coma type incident.
I have eaten quite a bit today....I had another cereal bar thing with a minneola for my breakfast with another banana for break at work. I swear, one of the girls had brought in a freshly made crusty, cut it yourself loaf and made doorstop toast for everyone. I almost ate my own hand it smelled so good. I didn't have any of course, hardcore moding the wheat thing as I am. But I wanted it so bad. I settled for my banana however like a good little dieter. Got home and there was an epic roast waiting for me. Now I've said before I have no idea how many calories are in a roast..I did a little digging into the veg side of it today...as in I googled to find the calorie content, and it was pretty minimal as you might expect. So I don't know if I ate over say 600 calories of roasties and beef and gravy..I just don't know. It seems like it shouldn't top 700 calories but it might. I had a lot of roasties though. I can't help myself..and I refuse to as well. We only have them once a week after all.
Then, like I say, I passed out (post watching the first episode of series two of Sherlock...I forgot how much I loved it). I woke up all cosy and tired and a little bit cross eyed with zero intention of exercising a little bit later. Sunday used to be my rest day but then that changed to a Wednesday so I don't have an excuse not to be honest. But I was absolutely refusing to at the moment I woke up. I was very much in that 'don't care if I'm fat forever, I'm cosy' mindset. But a little later after I had woke up I plucked up enough gumption to pick my fat ass up and plonk it on the bike.
Post shower (this was getting on for nine o' clock at this point) I figured tea would be a good idea. I had four Ryvita, ham and a selection of salads to top them followed by a soy yoghurt thing which came in around 400 calories I think..so I had a couple of gluten free jaffas and a green tea a bit later after that.
So like I say, I have eaten a fair whack today but, roast depending, I could be within the black. That and depending on how many calories that bike burns..which I still don't know. I am planning on buying an upgraded rowing machine..but at the moment I have three people I'm visiting over the next month or so all over the country so my finances are pretty tied. I'm flirting with the idea of whacking it on my credit card but I literally just paid that beast off which took me several months...don't think my poor heart could take loading it up again. We'll see though. I mean what I really need to do is just get used to being hungry...
I'm also trying a new tactic with my eating. I tend to be hungry when I get in and just eat my 500/600 calories for dinner fairly rapidly. I feel, not hungry but, almost unsatisfied when I finish but I reckon that's just my brain used to having tastier food at dinner time than my diet allows. And then, about a half an hour later I feel stuffed. So what I'm planning on doing is one, slowing down when I eat because I know I eat quickly. And two, eating in bursts. I'm going to have whatever main component of the meal first, followed by maybe twenty minutes and then the 'desert' bit, followed by another twenty minutes and then some fruit if I want it. I'll give it a bash from tomorrow and see if that helps any.
Anyway, tomorrow is weigh day again. Hopefully I will have dropped some weight although I feel I have plateaued for months and months here and I'm doing basically the same thing..I might just start skipping breakfast again. I know it's the best meal of the day or whatever, but it just makes me absolutely starving by break time and also, is 200 wasted calories. We'll see. Depends on the scales.
Good boo and good night x
