Skittles

by mia87 on 08 Apr 2014, 14:34

I'm not really meaning to blog every day, I'm sure the idea will rub off eventually. But sometimes I come across someone on here who had similar goals to me or their journey sounds fascinating but they don't blog so I can't get a full story on it. And I just think, I wish they did, so I can see I'm not alone in this. I'm not the only one with SO much weight to lose, with such a long time 'til goal date, not the only one without kids, not the only one just trying to at least get into a size 16! Never mind a size 12, 10, 8 etc (one day, maybe?)

Anyway, today was a feed day. Semi happy with the day. Yum brekky of egg and bacon sandwich (stoked that I no longer want BBQ sauce and cheese on these dang things). Not hungry for lunch but made cinnamon scrolls for hubby n me. Had two small ones. Had half of dinner coz I wasn't hungry (steak, mash, onions) then out to a craft group where I munch my way through handfuls of skittles. I don't even know why. I'm not mad keen on them (much more a savoury person) and I certainly wasn't hungry. I think it was really the texture I was noticing and enjoying. Don't get me wrong, I'm not cross that I ate heaps of calories through the skittles, but I am a bit bothered by the fact that I ate them when 1) I wasn't hungry and 2) I didn't enjoy them much, passed the first couple. I get home (10.30pm) and I don't want the rest of dinner, still not hungry, but I want something savoury before bed. I hate this idea (out of no where) of going to bed with something sweet being the last thing I had. I was going to make popcorn (popped in coconut oil with a BBQ mix of spices at the end, nomnomnom) but that would make heaps, and I really didn't want loads of food. So I had, instead, some baked beans with some left over pasta. It seems to have hit the spot, savoury and texture wise. Sometimes I really bother myself.

Slept horribly again last night. Fell sleep around 2.30am, hubby woke me at 3am when he got home from work and I got up at about 7.30am, coz that's when I woke and couldn't get back to sleep. I felt fine most of the day, still did my HIIT run on the treddy. It wasn't until around 4pm that I felt zonked. I wanted to crawl into bed and sleep for hours. I had some more green tea, and then a coffee at craft. Ah well, it's midnight now, time I got ready for bed. Hopefully it'll be more successful tonight/this morning. I'm thankful I'm not working and can try and sleep in.

Next fast day isn't until Friday. I should look up some recipes for fast days, but I do enjoy pretty plain foods a lot of the time. Much to hubby's dismay.

til next time.
