Post-Burger, Guilt-Energized Workout
1 x ten minutes of procrastination to gear poor old moping heart into workout mode
1 x 5 - minutes warm-up cardio
1 x bicep set with strong, experienced forearms et al doing their thang
1 x tricep set with worryingly wobbly arms
1 x core excercises that i'm almost positive aren't doing anything
1 x last five minutes of uber fat burning cardio
...which actually all felt really good, though there was a break in the middle where i had to write a quick list for dad to remember my deli-turkey, lest my snacks tomorrow grow pale and uninteresting. i was proud in a small way that i did end up doing the workout, even though i really felt like i could just sit and watch the simpsons as i usually do, with a cigarette and a cup of strong tea. and it'll be good to stick to the workout excercise regime to the letter this week, instead of buggering up like i did last week.
Best Bit: being in the middle of the workout and feeling happy to be working off burger-lbs
Worst Bit: feeling indifferent towards the simpsons

Burger And A Beer - Oh Dear.
Coco V Burger With Cheese
1 x tasty tasty coco v burger
1 x helping of mozzy cheese (not half fat, not by a long shot)
1 x small portion of fat crispy chips
0 x salad (as if)
2 x diet cokes
1 x pint kronenberg
so... so sue me. i'll work it off tonight, have another healthy 5-factor meal, and be right on track for the rest of the week.
does it sound like i'm trying to convince myself? then maybe i shouldn't be eyeing up the twixes in the fridge.
Guilt Caused By: Fatty Tasty Goodness (FTG)
Guilt assuaged* By: knowing it was a total one-off which i'll be more prepared for next time. maybe i'll rearrange my normal cheat day, it's easier that way.
Guilt Re-Inforced By: recurring panicky feeling

Busy Weekend Of Nothing
Happily Cheated, Happily Back
well, i had my cheat day yesterday in which i found that i am happier living in a state of diet. So i'm back to weetabix, turkey rashers and ry/i/vita.
Though not all at once - three hour intervals still apply, tsk tsk.
Best Movie Watched Of The Day: Elf
Best Movie Duet Watched Yesterday: Evolution and Ghostbusters - an Ivan Reitman festival of shenanigannery
Diet Anxiety: tomorrow's meeting with work people over business lunch (i feel a second cheat day coming on)

Week One Over
A Bit Of A Catch-up, You Know
Well this is week one pretty much over (though tomorrow is really the 7th day), but it's my first "cheat day" today, so it feels like i've got to the end of a small, quietly meaningful mile.
It's not been a dreadfully hard week, but it's been challenging at times - so it's felt like a i'm makin' a change that needed a-makin'. The excercise has been the hardest regime to fit around living with other (often grumpy) people, as i don't live in a mansion (or even have access to a big enough room) to work out in. so that's something to work on - i do think it's the most important part of the dieting process for a work-at-home computer geek bordering easily on the plump side.
Possible Weight Lost But Could Be Completely Wrong Due To Shoddy Scales: 2lb
Cheat-binge Tally At Time Of Publishing:
2 x toast with butter and beef spread
1 x mars bar
2 x weetabix (gasp!)
General Diet Mood: amiable & encouraged

1 x bunch of chicken left from the beginning of the week (thoroughly examined for offness)

Favourite Implement Of The Meal: brand new pyrex dish. great!
Quaint Comedy Of The Evening: the armstrong & miller show (though not to be viewed near parental support unit, it's a bit blue)

The Lie-In King
Mini Quesadilla Extravaganza
1 x mini fillet o chicken diced to within an inch of its life
1 x soft, floury, wholesome Old El Paso tortilla
1 x handful half-fat mozzy cheese
spice mixture with extra spice: cumin, paprika, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic salt
1 x mini dash extra virgin olive oil, spread expertly around the pan with my new pastry brush
2 x glob of salsa - one to cook in, one for smearing purposes
1/3 bag of Tilda brown rice - seems such a waste, but dad wouldn't be pressed on the matter so the rest went in the bin...
handful of water to stop the cooking part going very dry and icky
1 x smell of burning chicken
...in which beth realizes her full wok-hypocrisy and burns her own pan. Really must find another lunch-time treat, though(never! ha! i love quesadillas!). Preparing self mentally for the half-fat curry tonight with veggies.
Love: pre-grated half-fat mozzy cheese
Hate: cooking the same thing every day out of simplicity and a desire to find the archetype of half-fat quesadillas
Ambivalent State: incurred by beans today
