Today was not a good day, fitness and diet-wise.
It started off fairly badly - I woke up still feeling very tired, and I didn't even attempt to go to the gym. True, I'd done all the allotted sessions for the week but it would still have been nice to get an extra one in, and I know that I won't get time to do one over the weekend. Never mind.
So I get to work and have my breakfast - my usual fruit and yogurt, which I still really like, plus a bit of chicken breast for protein. Today I just can't finish the latter, but since I've not gymmed I don't have quite the same appetite. Yet.
I've brought in some more Frittata for lunch, but as 1pm rolls around I'm just not in the mood. I don't feel especially hungry, and the sort of thing I am craving isn't that. Work is being both stressful and boring at the same time, and my mood is not improving.
In the end I take a walk downstairs to Crap Tesco to see if they have something that'll get me through the day. I walk up and down the uninspiring aisles and eventually spot they have packets of cookies on offer on one of the promotional end units. Those will do nicely.
My walk has at least stirred some sort of appetite in me, though still not for the Frittata. Instead I pick out one of the "emergency" pasta pots I keep stashed in my cupboard - just add boiling water for a quick bite of crunchy pasta and a salty sauce that tastes a bit like a bag of Quavers. It'll do.
After that it's straight into the cookies. The packet disappears alarmingly quickly, but it does the trick. My brain kicks into action and I solve the problem that's been annoying me all day, thanks to the sugar buzz. Unfortunately, when I admit to MyFitnessPal what I've done, it gleefully points out that those cookies have used my entire day's calorie quota, which isn't ideal.
When I get home, my sister's back, which is helpful as I still have the rest of the packet of mince from the damn Frittata sat in the fridge needing to be used desperately. I quickly improvise a recipe involving the mince, onions, garlic, gravy and a microwave brown rice and quinoa pouch. I mix it all together and add some peas and Lea & Perrins, and to be honest it's really not bad - a sort of rice-based cottage pie taste. True, I've now eaten way too much, but at least that stuff was vaguely healthy as opposed to being Yet More Biscuits.
Tomorrow I'll have my weekly rowing session so at least that'll make me feel less guilty, especially as I have a friend visiting so no doubt we'll go out for dinner somewhere unhealthy!
