Day 27- Champagne and potatoes

I, Like Richard, accidentally had my indulgence ahead of schedule. I was at wedding in south west France over the weekend. It was a flying visit and I managed to keep mostly to the schedule.

Friday was fine, was at work in the day, did my work out at the start of the day had my food all planned out. legged it from the office to Heathrow and put my chicken breast and chopped carrotts through the security scanner before eating them in the lounge. Felt like a twat but you've gotta' do what you've gotta' do!

Didn't arrive at the challets I was staying at (where my boyfriend and some of his friends had been having a holiday pre-wedding) until 1.30am. Was greeted by two very drunk boys. Went to bed and woke up late but feeling fresh (unlike everyone else!) I didn't know the people we were staying with very well so felt a bit self concious marching out to greet everyone in the morning wearing a sports bra and wrilding a skipping rope but did it anywy!. Did my skips and legs and was a bit sloppy on the arms and abs. had time to eat an egg and the rest of my carrotts (didn't eat as much as I should have, or at the right times on Sat but had limited resources!)

Got ready for the wedding. It was ROASTING. the service was wonderful but outside so we were all a bit soggy by the time it came to the champagne reception. So this was my indulgence. I had 2 glasses of champagne and a glass of beer much later on. It was lovely but I found I had a headache almost instantly. I danced a lot instead of stading around feeling fidgitty and wanting to drink. I think this was a great solution, kept active and moving for most of the night and didn't drink too much! The meal was pretty PCP friendly I had two thin slices of veal which wasn't over salted of covered in sauce or anything. I had a big helping of green beans and the naughty bit, was that I had some potatoes

Did a really half arse work out on Sunday. Feel terrible about it. It was because I had had those drinks and it was 40 degress C on Sunday I could hardly move!

Back really late last night so didn't do morning workout today but will do it tonight WITH VIGOR! and back to morning routine tomorrow.

I wish I had a bit mroe control over my indulgence and had it on my terms more. But I have learned that those booze cravings are much easier to manage than I had thought. I feel better without it and I feel emotionally rubbish if I sabotage my work out/ food regeme for the sake of a drink or two. I do think this has helped me conquer the cravings and be more in control of them. But I really wanted a packed of malteasers for my indulgence :( I'll have to hope we get another indulgence soonish.

I've got a hen weekend this weekend coming, on a hot european island (can't say where as the hen reads this sometimes) its going to be another challenge. But I'll be with all my best friends and they are all incredibly supportive and will help me make sure I make the time to work out and eat right. Following what Patrick said in his recent emails. I am very blessed in this way. I feel  lilke I have been proven right (yet again) that my best friends are fucking amazing! Their support means the world to me, and Will who has been amazing (if a little Nizi-ish!)

Looking forward to the new routines and diets, we'll see what they will be tomorrow!

  1. Assuming it's Ibiza, just do an E. You can replace skipping with dancing (for 10hrs).... you won't be hungry, and you wont need to drink. Job done!

  2. Glad you're feeling more control over the alcohol cravings. It really is only a three week process to get out of those habits!

  3. Pete not sure a 3 day come down is conducive to the work out regeme! I'd probably top myself.
