"Hi, can you stop at the shop please?"
"Okay..."
"And get some wine?"
"Okay......"
"And a bottle of cider?"
"Okay..........."
"And some chocolate. Fruit 'n' nut. One of the big bars."
"Okay.................."
So there I am, on a Friday evening after a long week, walking down the alcohol aisle of Sainsbury's selecting wine and cider, and then down the confectionery aisle picking up big bars of chocolate. I could smell it. It smelt good. But I knew I couldn't have any of it. Friday night torture. Thanks, wife.
My Friday night treat from Sainsbury's, sitting in the basket amongst all that tempting alcohol and yummy chocolate? A piece of yellow fin tuna and a bottle of diet Pepsi (rather than diet Coca-Cola, for a change; I like to mix it up a bit).
I've now just got back from the gym where I did a back workout, a stomach workout and a gruelling 30 minutes on the exercise bike. How my Friday nights have changed. Mind you, that little devil is really nowhere to be seen right now. I think I might have exorcised him.
Now it's the weekend, I'm starting to get excited about my weigh-in on Sunday. The Sunday weigh-in works for me psychologically, as rather than wanting to eat more as it's the weekend - which has been the case most of my life - I actually want to make sure I continue losing weight right up to Sunday afternoon. Bargain.
Double-exercise for me tomorrow, as will be off to the gym in the morning for a legs workout, and then spending 2-3 hours walking round Bristol tomorrow afternoon dressed as a Zombie, on the Bristol Zombie Walk 2011. Actually, it will be more of a shamble than a walk, but I should still burn off a few calories. No beer for me at the after-party this year though - that will be strange. But at least I won't feel rough in the morning - the last one nearly killed me...
My diet today:
- Breakfast: An apple and a banana
- Lunch: A spicy chicken and couscous salad - made a lovely change from fish!
- Dinner: Yellow fin tuna steak salad, here I come!
