Day 39- OMG today was hard....really hard...., really, really hard

Tired

Have gained a couple of pounds back despite staying completely 'on message'

And was starving today as my veggie shake was grim (too much gloopy Kale) and I rushed out of the house with barely anything on my tummy to do a really hard gig.

I was launching my first big research project to a crowd of potentially terrifying participants, and though it went really well, the leached me of energy!!

The food we had laid on for them was the big problem. In the morning, coffee, tea, pastries, muffins, smoothies......and there I am standing there with s stick of celery and a small tub of a bad batch of red pepper hummus I had made. I was famished and nearly fell off the waggon, telling myself I deserved a day off and the rest of the rubbish you tell yourself at these times.

But I persevered and at lunch time, the wheat free lunch I had ordered turned out to be full of pasta and dressing (??!!) which I rejected. The plates of wraps and sandwiches were screaming at me as the glycogen seeped out of my system, as were the slices of walnut cake.

I resisted and tucked into my dry, unappealing and hastily prepared 'plan B' lunch of spinach leaves, chicken and seeds.

But I did it. My head was banging as it has started to do on low carb days, but I did it. So hurrah!!

Have just made a chicken biryani using Quinoa instead of rice with a fresh veg curry sauce....lovely.

Lord knows where these pounds keep rebounding from.....my weight really is a bugger to shift!!!

Catch you tomorrow
