I've not been to the gym since Wednesday, we went for curry Wednesday night and I ate quite a bit. It rained Thursday morning, so I thought 'one day' wouldn't make a difference. WRONG! Thursday I felt sluggish and bloated. Definitely an effect of eating more than my body needed.

Thursday night I was knackered, but I cooked a healthy dinner, more than 50% vegetables, and only a weeny bit of rice. I polished off a third of a bottle of wine.

Friday morning I had a slight headache, drank lots of water before work. I wasn't bad throughout the day, sluggishness had disappeared. Not sure why I didn't gym on Friday, but I do find it discouraging knowing a work colleague is there at the same time. I thought it'd be motivating. Darn!

Friday night, too lazy to cook, we ordered pizza - I had a small one and no starter, so not too bad. Did feel very full, but also felt sleepy. I seem to have less energy the days I don't gym. Another reason to go! We went out, and I only had one glass of wine, glad to see I can either take or leave the wine.

Today I really meant to get some exercise in. I guess its still not too late, but not very likely. The weather forecast was bad so I had intended to do lots of energetic housework, but it was nice. So I walked into town and had a huge slice of cake in a cafe.

The cake was too much, but I ate it all coz I'd paid. I think that's my downfall, at home I can stop but if I've paid for food I can't. Anyway, I got home at about 12 and wasn't hungry (cake bloat) and then fell asleep through lunch time til nearly 4pm.

I woke tired and tetchy, I think the lack of food was the problem. Immediately had an oatcake and a banana but I guess I'd thrown my body outta sync. It's got used to regular feeds. We had a healthy pasta dinner, lots of veg and not much cheese, but I don't feel full. Craving sweet, I know we have lots of sweet, and I'm thinking about more wine.

Might persuade hubby to come for a walk later. Hmmm.

At least I know now that taking a 'days' break from the gym is not wise coz. So, tomorrow I must go, although I'm not positive I will. Monday morning I'll definitely be back on the treadmill.

It's one month past FitFarms, if I could get the time off work I'd be back like a shot, shame I can't. I don't know how long I can be disciplined. I need to up my exercises as portion control alone won't get me where I wanna get to.

Still, at least I won't go back up for a while. I hope!
