@Sue.Q, I'm pooped! I'm on my feet and active for 7 hours with a wee break in between, I hardly get a chance to draw breath. I also have a twenty minute walk there and back. I'm a week and a half in and my feet, legs and hips are beginning to get used to it. I am enjoying it especially as I'm beginning to get the hang of things. I work 7am - 2pm Tue, Wed, Fri and 10am - 5pm Sat and I love the fact that my working day passes so quickly and then I can go home and have time to myself before the family come home.
However.............fasting...........mmm. At the moment there is no way I could fast while I am working as I need the food for energy. This means that when I get up at 5:45am I have a couple of oat cakes with hummous, then for my break at about 10am I have my overnight oats and, this morning, some fesh pineapple - ok so far. I then go home and at about 2:30pm I have some toast and cheese which would be ok if I stopped at that but today I then had a packet of crisps, a piece of walnut cake, a piece of shortbread and a moser roth
. At 6:30pm I had the Hairy Dieter chilli with a wee bit of rice and one slice of garlic bread....and an ice lolly and three chocolate chip cookies.
Lunch time is always when things go wrong for me. It is early days for me at work but I really want to get into good eating habits. At the moment I'm fasting Mon & Thurs when I am off, perhaps when I'm more settled in at work I might be able to fast Tue & Fri which would reduce the amount I'm eating on a work day.
I've started trying some of the things I sell. Chilli olives - yum yum, chicken tikka kebab - definitely have that again, West Country Extra Mature Farmhouse Cheddar - very nice. With any luck I'll start eating better quality nibbles instead of my usual high carb rubbish.
I won't be leaving the tent for a while as I've still got 5 of the 6lbs of post holiday weight to lose.
