I went away to Tasmania for 3 weeks and what with all the walking we did I came home lighter than I went. There wasn't a lot of clean, healthy eating but even after eating Devonshire Teas, pancakes with jam and cream, and waaayy too many toasted cheese sandwiches I didn't do too bad.
I get home and weigh myself to see how much damage I had done and was surprised to see that I was actually a few kilos lighter than when I went. How good is that!
Within days of being home I was eating crap and not walking, riding, anything. Then it's Easter and *someone* brings out Chocolate, Easter eggs, Hotcross buns, TimTams...And we have a freezer full of assorted pies and sausage rolls..Some of them are nice...How would I know that!
I was starting to feel blah, weighed myself and of course was up again so decided that today would be a LCD even though I was going to be home and not at work. And husband is home. And it's cold. And the fridge is full of chocolate.
So this morning I'm up by 6 and have a Coffee.
By 10 I'm hungry so munch on a Carrot.
Husband has come inside. He had a pie, smelt so good...I had a small piece of chicken.
There is an open packet of TimTams in the fridge, I took one out to eat. Put it back and had a piece of grilled fish instead.
Husband wanted more food so I boiled up some eggs...and had 2.
I will have a coffee then NOTHING ELSE until tonight.
And now he is eating chocolate!! I'll stick with the coffee then nothing else.
Tea time so I have a carrot while deciding what to have.
I decide on a coffee.
An OK fast day I suppose, I have had better. I have had worse. I don't count calories so don't know if I came in under the 500 that this eating style advocates but I do know it's a lot better than if I hadn't of tried at all. I even got the exercise bike out of the shed this morning and rode for 20 minutes while reading a book and drank a lot more water than I have been. Feeling good.
It's now 6:30 and I have cleaned my teeth, this LCD is over.
The cold weather makes it difficult to be motivated to exercise but once you start you warm up quick enough. Keep at it :).
