I trust myself to make the right choices.
Well yesterday went well - I think. I still went to bed feeling like I'd eaten WAY too much but I stuck to the maintenance plan as stated in the book (apart from being on fruit in week 2 instead of 3 - for reasons explained before).
I didn't run but we did have quite an exhiliarating cycle ride inbetween the thunder and lightening and in very strong winds!
It WAS hard at K's parents - they always serve the most amazing food - all from Borough market and posh bakeries. They'd deviated from Maison Blanc for the cake and gone for a Paul tart and a homemade passionfruit and cream meringue!!! I really wanted some but they had bought me some amazing fresh organic smoked tofu from Borough market - I reminded myself that last time we went for dinner I was eating packet soup!!
Started this morning off with another 5.5k run - it was bloody cold but I wrapped up warm and it's only 9am and I've already got tons done - started packing for Sunday, done two loads of washing and checked and replied to email - so a good start!
Yesterday's mantra worked - the fudge and mints are still in their packets - the day I give those away I will give myself a HUGE pat on the back!! Today's mantra I hope will work too as I seem to be getting into a pattern of one good day followed by one bad and it'd be good to get two good days in a row!: I trust myself to make the right choices!
11:30pm. Well I did make the right choices - but too many of them I think. It went like this:
1 milkshake
1 bar
snack: two yoghurts and fruit (mixture of blueberries/raspberries and nashi - a sort of pear/apple cross)
meal: tofu, edamame and sugar snap pea salad (one of those little ones from M&S but threw away the dressing and put a 0% fat one on instead). Pickled veg (daikon and lotus root) Another yoghurt!! (so 3 yoghurts today - albeit all 0% fat!!!!).
Am foregoing the 3rd pack as I do feel like I've eaten too much yet again!
I think if I were just eating normally this would be a perfectly reasonable - light even - day.. but I think it should have been less for this maintenance malarkey. So confusing.
