I may have used this meme in the past year but it is how I feel today. So right from the get-go I apologies for today's blog being a little diet heavy.
Woke up feel very sluggish this morning and resolved to reassess my diet and exercise regime before I did anything else.
So for the past 10 weeks, I have been working on the 19 hours fasting 5-hour eating window which is Delay Don't Deny. This has worked brilliantly but these last few weeks I have found reasons/excuses whatever you want to call it to cheat. I have opened my eating window early but kept it open later not good. Accepted a
lunchtime sandwich because I was very hungry but kept the eating window open well into the evening again not good. Over the last few weeks, I have managed a 12 hour fasting period, which is okay but I have eaten for perhaps the next 10 hours on and off so as you might well have predicted my weight has crept up by 3lbs. To say I am devastated with myself is an understatement, as I had managed to lose 1 stone 4 lbs. Well, this morning I sat down at my computer and redesigned my weight record sheets, exercise and event sheets, and also made a daily food diary sheet, this is how I keep myself on track and with a more focused and determined head on I logged into my walking full body fat burning programme which is hosted by the lovely Shellea, from Fabulous 50s. I mentioned her in my blog a couple of weeks ago. 30 minutes later and I feel very smug that I have sorted myself out. So I am now back on track to lose at least 6lbs ahead of Sophie's wedding in mid-September.
Speaking of naughty off-piste dieting, last night I went down to Sarahs for the evening. We watched a film and had a takeaway. Take away of choice was 9 chicken nuggets and fries from McDonald's washed down with 4 bottles of Corona, I know shocking but really enjoyable. Here is a horrific fact I just learned 9 chicken nuggets and fries rack up 995 calories (shock horror) and 540 calories in the beer, oh my days. But of course, that wasn't the full extent of it oh know I had excepted a lunchtime ham and tomato bun also so I was well and truly off it yesterday, hence today's guilt fest. But I did enjoy getting out of the house and some company.
This afternoon I have spent gardening. I had some wisteria and passionflower vines to train around a wooden arch and honeysuckle and cultivated bramble to train round another arch. All work done and plants watered, so a good afternoon's fresh air and exercise. At this rate, I will be pencil-thin when I next meet you all haha.
