Some thoughts from June 2022
I know why pandemic was good for me and my diet, and that weight loss thing. It’s because I didn’t go out or go away and stuff my face with food all the time. That’s why. Now, every time I get myself closer to my ultimate weight goal – there’s a weekend away, or holiday or I go into the office (and as I don’t do that very often, well it’s an opportunity to go out for lunch and stuff my fricking face! Again!) It’s driving me absolutely bonkers. Combine that with the fact that I’ve spent better part of May and beginning of June being sick – most probably with that effing Covid virus – but I’ve never been one for testing; but also my life has been punctuated by regular chest infections which seem to get more regular as I get older.
That has meant that after my latest weekend away I haven’t been able to get back to exercising as quickly. Seeing as it takes me days to get myself mentally in the right gear to start my little regimes, well that just added extra few days before I get going.
And no, I haven’t gotten going yet! So there, go away. I’ll do it. I will! Just, no, not today.
Shooooooo. What do you want from me? You’ve been here for a while – you’ve seen how much of a lazy unmotivated so-and-so I am! But when I said I’ll get to it, I’ll get to it. Otherwise I won’t have anything to write about.
In a last few days I have finally started feeling better though, so much so that I’ve started looking at my food regimes again. No point watching your diet when you’re sick as a dog. That won’t do anyone any good. But now, that I’m no longer coughing my guts out on regular basis and my head isn’t stuffed full of snot, I can think food. Or rather no food.
So….
1 – my scales and I took a little break from each other. They say a break is good for any relationship – so we decided to spend some time apart. I’m sure I was a lot happier about that, than my scales. Screw them. It didn’t end up so well for those glass mfs when I finally did re-join the party.
2 – my sugar addiction. I haven’t shaken it completely. But there is like a 90% reduction in my intake of sugars of the chocolate and biscuit variety. What I have indulged in – well some doughnuts on holidays. Way too many doughnuts on holidays. I reckon if I continue, sometime towards the back end of this year, I might just shake off chocolate and sugar all-together. Great, just in time for Christmas! I will persevere. Next, I’m going to try tackling refined sugars in other foods – that might be IMPOSSIBLE.
3 – I’ve run out of bread the other day. Decided I will try a few days without bread. Semi-succeeded. Bought some Ryvita crackers. I mean it’s not bread, but …… still something that I probably shouldn’t eat if I’m trying to be 100% honest with myself.
4 – flipping cheese is back on the menu thought! That vice is just as bad as chocolate. All that brie for breakfast today!! Aishhh.
What else? Oh, yeah, I hate exercise! And dieting! And food for making me gain weight!
