So I'm ill again. I was in work yesterday and couldn't stop sneezing. I figured it was hayfever what with us having the very beginnings of spring (although we're all rain down in the South West). But then I got home, had my Sunday roast and predictably passed out, and when I woke up I was like full blown cold. Needless to say I didn't feel like exercising so I didn't. But I also didn't really feel like eating in the evening so it probably balanced out. I did have a piece of home made chocolate cake whilst we watched the Hobbit, which isn't great I know (the cake, not the Hobbit) but it was in place of a meal so I don't care. I got into work today and the culprit came in hacking and sneezing. I was like YOOOuuuuu lol. Sharing is caring I guess..
Today has been a bit of a bust food wise. I've exercised and everything but in between I have just over indulged somewhat which is stupid and cancels out any good the exercise does I know. But I keep going through feeling like I don't want food ever to being like RAVENOUS and eating the kitchen bricks. I don't remember everything I had for dinner but I know it was trickling over into the too many calorie category. Then for tea mum had made me a leeetle pie (with gluten free flour bless her heart) which was cheese and bacon..although there wasn't a lot of it and it was a small pie. I had that with some beans. But I've also picked at the cake too..I haven't had a slice I just keep nicking bits of the chocolate when I suddenly have a weird need for food.
I'll get back on it tomorrow though. The good news is that I weighed myself this morning and I'm 13 stone 12 again. I weighed myself mid week after all my birthday indulgences and I'd gotten back up to 14 stone 1 and was very disheartened. But luckily I've managed to shift that extra nonsense. So hurrah, back on track. My next sort of friend meet up is not till May now so I have a good month in which to get some proper weight loss going. Hopefully tomorrow with it being the peak of my cold (day three and four typically tend to kick my arse) I won't want to eat much. Probably just some soup. So that will (artificially) help.
I've been watching Lauren Luke on youtube (panacea81) and she's doing something at the moment called the Cambridge diet. Absolute load of nonsense in my honest opinion (and I told her so too) but she has lost a good deal of weight in a fairly small time frame. Not surprisingly though, it's another one of those fad diets. You basically pay over the nose, 60 quid a week if I remember rightly, and some random person with a fake background in nutrition gives you three packets of food to eat a day. One soup, one shake and one oatmeal. That's it, and I think she said it was like 500 calories a day. Absolutely hate those things with a passion. I am tempted to do something like that for the quick fix, but the thing is when you see these daft celebrities doing these diets, they've all put on several stone a few months later when they're back on real food again. Still like she said, it's given her a different appreciation of food which wouldn't be a bad thing. But I just reckon if I had the willpower to starve myself on a daily basis like that, I would have the same will power to apply to eating healthily.
I'm getting there though, slowly but surely. I mean I'm at 5.5 stone now and yes I've plateaued a bit recently but I just need to keep thinking of that number. It's almost an entire person if you think about it!
Anyways, that'll do for now. I'm going to go wallow in some self pity some more
