obligatory update

Exhausted, long frustrating day and so not in the mood to update but thought I should anyway. Sooo had a bit of a cheat day on Wednesday which was definitely not part of the plan however I woke up feeling horrible... fatigued, emotional & well, blue. Realised that I'm not a robot and sometimes I'm going to need something other than an egg salad sandwich or protein shake to perk me up so we had a bit of a feast. Indian of course, plus my famous apple crumble & the bit I regret is corn chips as they left me completely unsatisfied and feeling a bit yuck. Felt awful that night - my stomach must have been in shock. Woke up sweating with stomach cramps and am surprised I didn't throw up. We don't do things by halves...


So again I'm having to be really strict the rest of the week to make sure I still get results. Hoping I can hit half a kilo again despite the blowout. Not overly concerned though as this is my last week of full time work so I'll be hitting the gym 5 days next week (twice a day some of those days) so the fat will fall off a lot faster (providing I can stay away from the pantry when I'm having my usual fatigue induced carb cravings).


I'm pretty proud of how strong I am while at work... I'm surrounded by colleagues and public alike stuffing their faces with fast food while I'm eating my egg sandwich (lunch) & low carb bites (arvo tea) and at the end of the day when I'm sore & exhausted, it's sooo tough walking through that food court without caving. I try to look for the people who are heart attacks waiting to happen & the chips suddenly don't look quite so appealing.


I probably sound like a broken record but WOW this is tough! The good news though is that despite a couple of slip ups, this is the best 3 weeks of eating of my entire life. I've never eaten such clean, nutritious food for an extended period of time. I've always had an aversion to vegetables & most proteins so to have overcome that and have stuck with it for 3 weeks is a good feeling! I guess I'll just keep chipping away at it...
