Today marks two weeks. Tomorrow I have another weigh in. I don't know how I will fare. I know my belt has moved quite a bit, but beyond that I don't know. I was hoping for a big loss again this week but we'll see.

It's been a lazy day and I've got so much on at the moment but it was really good to have a bit more of chilled out day.

I got down to the gym which makes 7 days in a row which was a pretty good achievement. Getting to the gym at odd off-peak times is nice as it's a bit more of a low key kind of vibe. Peak time (just before and after work) is always a bit more of a business like vibe. All 4 tv's in the weights area had been retuned to the football by enterprising gym folks using those step up blocks. Crafty old blokes.

I also managed a completely alcohol free weekend which was good - several opportunities to enjoy a glass of wine slipped by and I kept my resolve. I'm headed up to Melbourne next weekend and I will try and keep it pretty low key, but it's good to know I was able to do this weekend without anything extra to drink (and hence no extra empty kilojoules for no particular reason).

We slept in a little this morning and made eggy breakfast/lunch which was nice. If I didn't know I had nothing to drink I would have characterised myself as hungover this morning. Just tired I guess.

Egg breakfast this morning wasn't terribly healthy I know, but the worst thing was the bacon, which I trimmed the fat off. Still felt bloated afterwards. I've noticed that since eating more healthily and working out, whenever I eat anything slightly dodgy I feel pretty average afterwards. Like yesterday's bratwurst. Normally I would eat something like that and not have a problem at all. I can tell my body is reacting a bit more to crappy food. Eating better quality food is a full time job and probably a lot more important than I realised. This would also demonstrate the value of recording what you eat faithfully each day as it helps you realise exactly what you are eating.

Stuff I did:

Walked around 5km (to shops and back and to gym and back)

Weights Session 35mins

Stuff I ate:

Breakfast/Lunch: 3 slices of fancy bread, 2 poached eggs, bacon and relish.
Afternoon Tea: Granny Smith Apple (200kj) + 2 cups of earl gray tea with milk (125kj)
Dinner: Lavosh Crackers and hand made Beetroot Dip (No nutrition info on beetroot dip, but maybe ~1500kj including the crackers) (I bloody love Lavosh crackers they're brilliant). Sweet Potato, Coriander & Ginger Soup (~1500kj)

Mood: Rested. For like the first time in weeks.
