Week 3 done

And so ends a pretty great diet week. Held on for the last two days, exactly as planned. Then onto cheat day. It really does turn things upside down, even if it doesn't seem that crazy bad. Feel any bit hungry, have a snack. Want some beers, it's OK today. Had some chicken and chips for lunch, which was amazingly good, and some Thai take away for dinner, which was solid as usual, and a couple of slices of left over home made pizza that the kids didn't eat the night before, just to cap it all off. I will say this about diet day though. I spent a decent chunk of it at home (was out all morning, home all afternoon), and snacked/ate when I wanted. Similarily, I spent a large chunk at home Sunday, and also felt like snacking. It only takes one daying of doing like you please to convince your body it's OK to do what you please. I kept going with well timed green teas, which did the job of distracting me, but it was much harder the day after cheat day funnily enough, when you think you'd be over anything bad. But I kept my head and had a good diet day, even restricted myself to the two red wines Sunday night, so very pleased with that.

I have more stuff to fill in here. A bit about guilt, a bit about snacks, a bit about diet slips, but I just can't compose myself right now. I could just blabber some stuff out there, but without at least some clues about the answers, or even all the questions, I won't bother putting it out there. I'll think a little more about it and get out of there.

Onto normal diet news. Got through the weekend fine as mentioned, and did my weekly weigh in before cheat day, and did manage to just weigh myself that one time over the last week. 105kgs, which is lower than previous weeks. While it's not a record low by any means, I feel that's about my stupid eating weight aleready dropped off. I guess I'm saying at some point I'm expecting slow gains, and I always drop weight quickly at start and then hit a wall. That wall (on most diets) is probably pretty close right now, which is why it's really important to not focus on the scales too much. I can handle not losing weight 1 week, but checking 7-9 times a week will just make that all the more depressing.

As for this week, I feel I did really well last week, so don't know any other goals to set for this week other than keep it up. No guilt is the obvious side of any decisions I make. Perhaps I have to work something out around the weekend, as I have a birthday Friday, which almost certainly means a couple of nice things, perhaps not on normal cheat day. I'll work that out soon.
