To keep my on track and my eye on the prize, I’ve decided this summer, I want to be wearing this from Missoni (only £239.00 from Harrods -_- ) …
Not that ambitious but at least it will help me keep focus. I just want to see some abs… LOL. My bloating situation got worse this week and I blame it on dairy. I’d been having lactose free yoghurt but that doesn’t seem to help with the bloating. At least no gut wrenching pain for 2 hours.
Relaxed a little on food which isn’t so bad but would like to try and keep eating clean for the duration of the program. Still working through my intolerances and will be seeing a naturopath sooner rather than later to help me out. I love my daily and don’t want to miss out on the benefits of dairy. I don’t like the idea of having to buy fortified soy milk and the like. Tofu cheese just isn’t the same.
Today I feel I let myself down a little bit. I think it didn’t help I felt tired and a little bored. Ate really well up till lunch. Normally I’d be fine but today I went a little overboard. I nibbled on the following after lunch:
- Handful of wasabi peas
- 1 carrot
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 wedge of laughing cow light cheese
- 1 mug of soy milk with cocoa powder and teaspoon of honey
- 1 be natural dark chocolate muesli bar
- 1 square of dairy milk chocolate
- 1 small pineapple tart
EURGH. It’s awful I made some good choices and towards the end I just f-ed it all up. Then I got home had the prescribed dinner and dessert and added 3 sour cream and chives rice cake and half a muesli bar. God dammit. All up roughly 860 calories in snacks. OMG… Need to find lower calorie snacks. Still struggling to find high protein snacks I like and can eat. This lactose intolerance thing is a hinderance.
Looks like I need another sit down with myself and also need to look at my fluid intake again. Only 4.5 weeks to go and I shouldn’t blow it now, should I? You would think after last night’s video I would resolve to fix this but I didn’t. Do you think I am being too hard on myself? I did work out hard today to as I do every day. I’m trying to stick to the 80% nutrition, 20% exercise but the way I see it, at the moment I am doing it the other way around.
Got fed and drove down to Southport. Parking NO PROBLEM! Ah, I think it was a great idea they separated the events. We had heaps of time to wander over to the start line and warm up. 7.45am gun fires and we are off. Well… walking pace. Too many people. Stuck in the pack. Weaving through people. I ended up losing Pam at around the 2.5km mark as I get held up by the slower runners. Then BAM. Stitch! Ahhh, I was somewhat relieved it didn’t happen earlier but pissed it even happened because the pace I was at was really good. Anyway, had to slow down a few times and at the 8km mark, I’m looking at my watch, 55mins. Argh RUN FASTER! The moment I did, stitch kicked in again. Tried deep breathing, not working. Annoyed. Keep shuffling and walking. Last KM, picked up the pace and ran through the pain. I see the point to turn in to the finish line. I see the sign, 270m to go. Start running faster and get slowed down AGAIN by the slower runners. Squeeze past and make it to the finish line. AH. I thought I was going to pass out in the last hundred metres because I pushed really hard. I checked my watch. Heartrate was maxed out to187! Amazed. Check time. 1hr 8mins. WOW. I never ran that fast for a 10km run EVER. Best run ever. I think I could’ve been faster if I didn’t have my stitch problem. 
Anyway, after seeing all my friends who did the half doing so well, I feel like I want to do that too but at the same time I am so over running! LOL. Dilemma! Oh well, we will see….
