Sorry haven't blogged for a few days, Thursday I was completely shattered by bed time and yesterday I drove up to the Midlands, so I could see my Nanny in hospital who is not at all well. I hate driving at the best of times, but since having ME it is like climbing mount Everest, driving 180 mile back home and I try to avoid it at all costs. But I knew having the car, would be invaluable up here so a 3 hour journey took twice as long, but at least i'm here. I will worry about the journey home, when I cross that bridge.
Anyway on to the diet, After my very very naughty meal out on Wednesday night, I weighed myself on the Thursday morning and I put on 2lb overnight...YES 2LB...OMG!!!!!
Now I did promise myself that I wasn't going to weigh myself every five mins, but I just wanted to see, how much in fact a heavy, high calorific meal would impact my weight. And to be frank I was horrified by that. All these years of meals out and heavy, high piled on plate meals its a wonder I am not 35 stone let alone 17.11. Just goes to show really, living in ignorance is not the best option, especially where your weight is concerned.
I cant really say I feel any better being on this diet, I cant say my energy levels have improved or I can run up the stairs, without getting so puffed out, because of the fibro and ME really. My energy levels are very low and weight loss isn't going to change that. Weight loss isn't going to help the pain I experience everyday. But I am hoping that a better diet may help and when I am better (we live in hope) I will be nice and thin to jump around town and enjoy clothes shopping again, bowling, dancing and such like.
So anyways, I am not going to list all the food, I have eaten over three days..one, its very hard typing on my little net book, I bring away with me and secondly I don't think you would really want to read it and would be thoroughly bored by knowing what had been swishing round my internal tracts for the last 48 hours!!
But I will list the calories consumed, just really for my benefit.
Thursday......1217
Friday....... 1177
Not bad, I should have 1500 a day. I am trying to have a little less for the rest of the week, just to make up for Wednesday really.
Just a little snippet of information I have just found out, while researching the calories in a pint of cider (which I did participate in last night..only 1 thou)..
With 7 calories per gram, the number of calories in alcohol is second only after fat (9 cals/g).
The calories in alcohol are metabolised first by the body, ahead of burning fat - which is not desirable if on a weight loss diet. (Taken direct from nutra check, weight loss.. website.)
239 calories in a pint of strongbow..WOW. Keep me away from the pub, that's what I say.
