Day 4

It’s been a fairly sedentary day today as I’ve been chained to my desk all day! But…I’ve managed to make good choices with food. Headaches have been much better today. I had two squares of dark chocolate (85%) as a replacement for my usual chocolate fix. I wouldn’t say it exactly replaced my Cadburys version but it did satisfy my craving and 2 small squares took me a good half hour to eat so it wasn’t all bad.

Tomorrow is going to be a challenge. I’ve got a busy day including a lunch out. But first thing I’ve got my next group personal training class. Honestly, I’m probably not looking forward to it. I’ve only just started being able to walk properly again after Monday so goodness knows what it’ll be like! But at least I’ll get it over and done with early in the day and then I’m meeting my friend for lunch.

Lunch out is going to be tricky. Eating out and the weekend are the two things that I’ve always found the most difficult when making good food choices in the past. Im off right now to have a look at the menu for the place and will be right back.

I’m back. But I’ve not found anything online with the menu 😭 Ok, this is an unexpected extra test of my willpower-making good choices at home is much more likely than making good choices at the actual restaurant. Especially after a likely brutal workout.

I think I’ll need to be realistic about this. I might not be able to make a great choice but if I stick to sparkling water, avoid desserts and sides, even something a bit on the unhealthy side won’t take me completely off course. It looks like pub grub so I’m planning for baked potato as best case option. If not that then a vegetarian choice or steak/chicken based dish. I just hope the post exercise munchies don’t get the better of me but I’ll report back tomorrow!
