Food consumed:
2 bowls of dried strawberry & nut cereal and 1 x chicken
salad plus copious amounts of Vanilla Red bush and water.
So far, on this new lifestyle diet, I have been unable to
exercise. I genuinely want to, but my sinuses are all bunged and have been
since our return from our holiday. I have been getting headaches, which is
really unlike me. I am normally strong like bull! This maybe my body
pre-empting its lack of fatty / processed food over the next 6 months and sulking like a child on the naughty step, or it
could simply be a normal headache caused by coughing and spluttering so much.
Jogging and cycling have been put on hold, for now however there is
one exercise which there is no escaping from. It comes in the form of
entertaining two children and is called being an Uncle. Come the weekend I
shall be throwing one in the air whilst recreating a famous lightsaber battle
with the other. They will beat me, pull my hair, climb on me & literally
drag me from room to room kicking and screaming. My favourite time, with some
of my favourite people. I can’t wait.
I’m beginning to think that this diet should be called
‘Cereal & Chicken Salad diet’ as that’s pretty much all I’ve eaten. I’m
trying to stay away from any fried food, any fast food and basically anything
unnatural. Although it’s still very early days, I feel I have been coping well.
I am mentally focused and prepared for the challenges I will certainly face.
I have been faced with 1 challenge today and been handed 1
for the future.
First challenge: Working in an office environment has its
perks and traditions. In the office today: a birthday, followed by a big triple
chocolate cake at 11am. That cake stared at me from 11am until 5pm when it was
finally boxed up and removed from the office. I win!
Second challenge: The Company have asked me to ‘look in’ on
a competitor with a complimentary 3 course meal and evening out. I have been gluttonous
for the past 10 years and no one had offered me a single thing. The very week I
decide to diet and control my intake of calories this comes along. I have
chosen the fish option for main course. This will be the most substantial meal
I have all week. I shall let you know how I get on.
Time for my second bowl of cereal.
Be well x
