Yeah I've been entirely absent recently. I don't think anyone would care that the last four days have basically been a cake fest...well not so much four days...shut up. It was my birthday on the Friday and a friend of mine decided that Wednesday we'd go to the aquarium and then basically eat delicious food and get drunk. Which we did entirely and with abandon. It was fat day anyway so I wasn't the least bit bothered about that. But I didn't really eat an awful lot of terrible food what with being so busy being drunk..we'd had an amazing fries based meal at Revolution (vodka bar for anyone not in the know) which basically consisted of fries, deliciousness and cheese. Lots of cheese. Then we drank everything they had to offer before rolling home later. So fast forward to the next day and I felt done over by my lack of chocolate on fat day, so I thought bugger it and had another fat day..and then on Friday it was my birthday and we had to have chinese food and all kinds of cake. Not my best week but it was my birthday so I don't really care. Saturday I was doing well but had some left over cake and a bit of easter egg so another write off. But Sunday, although I didn't do any exercise as I felt like re-starting today would be the best idea, I didn't do too badly. I didn't over eat anyways so not too terrible.
Today I have been entirely good. I have been getting along with not skipping breakfast totally but instead eating just a piece of fruit. Apples and bananas are the current alternating favourites. This morning's offering was a banana. Dinner was a 200 calorie delcious salad with a gluten free ciabatta bread roll and a soy yoghurt. I topped that off with a kitkat and a coffee a little later and a handful of grapes. Tea was probably a little more calorie laden as it was sausage and liver casserole with mash and dumplings, but I refused the offer of extra sausages much as I love them, and I have also done all my exercise so I'm thinking it should balance itself out. Absolutely stuffed too, the kind of stuffed where I feel like I'm not going to be starving in two hours time which is always a good thing. Should I get hungry I'll just have another piece of fruit and hope that the breakfast calories I haven't used cover it. Should do mind.
I haven't bothered weighing myself this week because I felt like as I haven't stuck to any sort of healthy eating, calorie controlled nonsense I am likely to have put on either one or two pounds. And after the success of last week finally pushing through my 14 stone demon. I felt that should that be the case it would more than likely hit me in the motivation so I just didn't bother. I'll pick it up proper again this week.
Turns out though that the unhealthy foods are the ones which agree with me the least. When I went to Sheffield and ate everything it took about three days for my system to get back to normal. Likewise this time, although I wasn't eating so much rich food, I have felt sluggish in the digestion. I need to really get into hardcore mode with my diet and sort it the hell out and get it under some sort of control. Not something I can do really though whilst I'm living at home so much. We don't have an awful lot of money as a family so I can't expect, nor afford, mum to go out doing an extra side shop just for me so I can have a different meal from the family every night. Although our collective diets are somewhat better these days although a far cry from what they could be. It's not like we're one of those families which live on processed or frozen foods though thankfully. There was a period of time where that was the norm because mum was working and there was no time for cooking but she's unemployed these days due to health problems.
I also found out today that I have gone off coffee somewhat too. I have been drinking green tea for the most part over the last few months, whereas before it would be three to four cups of coffee a day. I went to make a caffeine free one and found it was all gone...thanks to my brother I would guess. So I had to spring for the normal one because I'd been fancying the idea of a coffee since the night beforeut I didn't enjoy it really. I drank it more to avoid waste over anything else. I don't know if it's just the phase I'm going through or if I genuinely just don't care for it so much these days. I do tend to habitually eat or drink something in weird phases of varying lengths however. Like with fruit, I don't often eat apples but recently I can't get enough of them. We'll see though, I always seem to enjoy a green tea.
I think that'll do here for now. I'm yet to shower post exercise and I think that's a good plan followed by watching The Hobbit which I got as a late birthday present today from Mum <3
Tatty boo!
