A day of ups and downs really.
Morning jog, which I am really beginning to enjoy. Lunchtime came and went with a banana and a protein shake but without any real complex carbs I was crashing badly at 2pm and craving sugar. I didn't give in but instead headed home for wholemeal peanut butter sandwich. More good carbs at lunch from now on I think, just a few slices of brown bread or a fistful of pasta should do it. I had taken on less water as well and I know that you can confuse dehydration with hunger.
The 10 scale? If you rate your hunger from 1-10 and it is less than a 7 then you are probably thirsty instead.
Anyway. Headed off to the gym for some
weightlifting. Today's body part was
back, then finished off with 20 mins hard
swimming.
Now this is where it all gets messy. It was my workmates leaving do and I promised faithfully I wouldn't drink. This is easy for me because I never been a big drinker anyway and can take it or leave it. I have never needed a beer or a glass of wine when eating / watching footie etc etc.
But the occasion was a fairly big deal so I bought him a box set Jonnie Walker BL whisky and then had a quick toast with him. That was me done. 1 shot of whisky. Cue argument with 'the woman' (about something else) which led to mobile phones being switched off and me 'going on one' as they say. Completely forgot about the challenge, decided to get trashed playing spoof.
To be honest I really only had about 7 drinks as the woman, always thinking, picked me up two hours later. But it was still 7 drinks I can do without! So now I am removing the drinks I was planning for my birthday in 3 weeks and going to punish myself in the gym, it's time to meet my friend pain! *slaps self* Well OK - he is Mr T's friend but you get the idea.
