Day 20 Feed Day

by jmousey on 07 Oct 2013, 08:03

SO I'm going to slightly change the format. I have decided not to weigh and record my weight every day. As you can see I fluctuate wildly. I thought by recording the fluctuations, it would help remember that overall there is a downward trend but it doesn't - it just worries me. So I'm going to do 1 weigh in day after my last fast of the week to give me the greatest motivation.

So my fast day Friday was a total right off - I'd say I ate about 2500 cals

Bfast: bagel (200)
lunch: roll with wedges, cheese, garlic mayo, bag of crisps (700)
SNack: Quark (165)
Dinner: snacky bits at party (700)

Total 1765. I just kept picking and picking. SO the next time I'm at something like that - I will definitely set myself a challenge not to pick but limit myself to try and break the habit. I used to be very controlled about that before but now I'm terrible.

I give the day 5/10 due to my lack of control

Day 20
I wake up feeling extremely bloated from the night before- so much so that I have to force myself to eat a tiny scone before my 20mile run.

During the run, I consume 2 mini snickers at the 10mile mark but not really hungry. My body is so tired though from my terrible sleep quality that I have to eat this stuff. My mile 18 I am suffering quite badly with knee pain and just feeling generally crap. I make it through in good time but it's clear that an old niggling injury to my IT bad has reared its head.

So I have a dinner dance tonight so I'm limiting my food intake today - I eat as follows:

Bfast: mini scone (100)
snack: 2 mini snickers(200)
lunch: croissant, 4 mini beers (500)
dinner: goats cheese tart & lots of wine (1000)

Total 1800 cals - not bad for a night out.

I give the day 7/10 as I didnt go to thechipper at 4am
