no Kitchen = difficult to prepare food

Posted by andj on December 3, 2007

But I was still pretty good – well not really. there was at least one trip to macca’s this past weekend.  I think that my problem is that I generally don’t care what I eat. As long as it fills me up and is fast. Salad’s annoy me because they take forever to eat and what I love most about lunch time is reading – for as long as I possibly can. Salads cut into my reading time waaay too much. So I would rather have a sandwhich. I think I will go back to having wraps. You can get low carb tortillas or even a whole wheat one would be OK. Fill that up with meat and salad and ouila - 1 fast, easy, yummy, healthy lunch!

Today however, wasn’t so great.

I had no breakfast because I had to catch the train to work and I wasn’t sure how long it wwould take me to drive to the train station.

At 7:30 I had a small apple and a coffee.

At 9:30 I was starving and had a sausage roll and 6 jatz crackers and two pieces of cheese.

That got me through until 1pm – which was lucky because there was a meeting and it went till one pm. After that I had Subway for lunch. I chose a pretty health option though – Wheat bread with Ham and salad and honey mustard dressing. Then I had full fat coke and two cookies!

But it is now 5:30 and I’m not hungry yet!  I don’t know what we will eat for dinner tonight but I’m sure that it won’t be too unhealthy.

So that is probably a good example of a normal day’s food for me lately.  Probably not the best. Most days I will have skinny coke over fat coke and I wouldn’t have the cookies.  When I actually eat breakfast, an apple is sufficient for morning tea.

When I actually do some exercise I am more motivated to be super vigilant with my diet.

 Obviously I haven’t made the decision yet that I am ready to committ to losing weight. I am happy to maintain – but I am not happy with flabby untoned legs.

I realise that it is a lifestyle choice not a diet – I have been on and off this bandwagin for around two years now – and I only weight around 3 kilos less and the same as at the very beggining. My lowest weight in the past 3 years has been 67kg. I have a mental barrier stopping me from getting past there. I will get past the mental barrier and I am working on that part of my personal growth as well. Perhaps I should see a hypnotist!
