Wednesday October 26
I had a gyno appointment this morning so took advantage and went to the gym.
7.45am
30 mins HIIT cardio - treadmill
9.00am
Vinegar drink, multi, flax, zinc
1/2 cup oats (dry) cooked w/
1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water
1/2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp LSA
6 whites, 1 yolk
Had the appointment. Found out that I have to have surgery on Nov 21st - probably an overnighter. Kind of threw me for a loop, wasn't expecting it. Probably nothing serious but needs to be done. So I went into a bit of a funk and my meal timing went out the window.
12.00pm
Lo carb protein shake
2.00pm
10 almonds
4.30pm
4 prunes
10 almonds
Going to a friend's house for dinner and a girly chat. I need the chat but don't know what food she'll provide

She made baked fish which was layered with mushrooms, zucchini and onions. It was soooo good. Also had about 1/2 cup garlic mashed potatoes
and 1/2 cup spinach. Not sure as to the fat added in cooking so will dispense with the macros for today. Oh, also had two glasses white wine Well, it was a girly chat!
Felt much better afterward. And I log this as my rather early cheat meal for the week.

Thursday October 27
Took the day off from the gym. Not the best day for real food as I had a marathon of meetings - thought that had died down but no such luck.
Overslept - I miss my alarm (P)
8.00am
2 slices Performax bread
1 tbsp almond butter
1/2 cup cottage cheese
Meeting - asked to do something extremely unethical though thankfully got it on email to cover my ass.
12.00pm
Lo Carb protein shake
Another worthless chatfest.
2.00pm
Protein bar
And again.
4.30pm
Lo carb protein shake
At this point, I'm actually missing real food. I could never be an astronaut.
7.00pm Business dinner
About 1 cup stir fried scallops
About 1 cup steamed white rice
No supps, not enough water and I have a real urge to go running.

Have a good Thursday!

Good for you for taking yourself out of a situation when it presents a problem!

Yeah, so why can't I do that all the time?
Take today as an example:
7.30am
Protein shake
Multi, flax, zinc
8.00am Legs and shoulders
Squats
Calf raises
One Legged press
DB Overhead press
DB Lateral raises
20 mins steady state cardio - bike
Great workout
9.30am
Homemade protein pancakes (they weren't good)
6 whites, 1 yolk
10.45am
Remedial massage
1.00pm
Grilled chicken tortilla
Tomatoes, tabbouleh, hummous, avocado
Went to the movies - just drank water - no popcorn or anything
Then bumpity bumpity bump. I'm on my own with P still away and I get bored so I ate for the sake of it. It's 5.30pm now and I feel so sick.
Not going to bitch about it anymore, it's my own fault/problem/thing to get over.
The good thing I've noticed this week is that more water IS a great help and I seem to make more progress when I do more cardio. (Cut out the crap food and I'd be doing really well). I'm going to keep up the cardio and just keep the weights to compound moves until I've lost more body fat. When I eat well, I miss the gym, when I hit the gym, I think I can cheat.
Anyway, have a good weekend!!

What's the answer to this.....? I know you know......
Stay Busy!!!! Clean the house, go for a walk, talk on the phone. Keep your hands busy doing something. Surf the net...something. Just keep moving. There are times when I go home and I'm so exhausted, but I know if I sit down, I'll be in trouble.

Let's just pass over the past couple of days and start again tomorrow. I've not been that bad but not been that good either 
Funnily enough, my pants are more loose than before and people have commented so I can't ruin it now
P comes home today - I didn't realize what a good influence he actually is for me.
So, see you tomorrow, back on it!
