OH I love Sundays! It’s my only day off gym, no cardio either, just rest and growing 🙂 And this is a high carb day, too, which means I’m gonna be off for some shopping, then some cleaning, maybe even a walk if it’s not raining, and some rest. Need to get my food prepared for next week, too. So far my high carb days have always been on Sundays but with the new plan I’ll have a high carb day every 4th day, which means that I will get to train on a high carb day, too and I really look forward to that! It’s gonna be nice to have some energy finally when I get to the gym! 🙂
Just making some Angus burgers with salad in the George Foreman, i really love some different taste. Different as in from chicken/tuna and rice. For breakfast I had a roll and egg whites, not the usual porridge and protein. Only 3 weeks to go, which is not a lot to say: 3 WEEKS, but when you think about 21 DAYS…. that’s still a lot to go, so I need to make some different varieties in food so that I don’t get fed up with it before the big day!
I have placed an order at Avidlite for sugarfree sweets. I have used them before but I thought that off season it’s actually ‘healthier’ to eat proper sweets because you never know what’s in these ‘healthier’ options. No sugar, no this, no that, but they must put something in it so that it tastes like that…
I’ve spoken to my friend John, who has been training with me and going through all this with me – well, whenever he’s around and I can’t even blame him for not being around a lot lately lol In the next week or so I will prepare a list what I would like to eat after the competition and I asked him to get them, hide them and take them with us to Wales, and once I’m done just give them to me so that I can snack… I really miss fruits from my diet. I remember off season I used to get an apple or a banana between meals when I felt hungry, but I haven’t had any fruits for 11 weeks now, which is a long time. When I pass a green-grocers I always look at the strawberries, grapes, cherries… My favourite ‘shake’ was a protein smoothie before bed, made with frozen fruits, water and strawberry or vanilla protein mixed together. It was like ice cream! I think I’m gonna make something similar from the 2 bananas that i’m allowed to have today… You see, the little nice things of life… 🙂
Apparently most of you guys who read my blog get here through Facebook… why don’t you leave me a message or a feedback on here so that I know who you are and what you think of my blog?
I know I have really low tolerance for bullshit nowadays that’s why I don’t really go to Facebook that much anymore. Sometimes I check in to see what’s new, but I dont’ want to read any silly things and I’m not interested in anybody else… sorry guys, I know I’m being selfish now but that’s the thing: I have to so that I don’t get distracted. I get far too many messages on FB telling me that they have something to say, new announcement on their walls etc etc Sorry guys, I don’t send anyone a message saying: oh it’s only so and so days to go. I think these people haven’t got a life, maybe this is what they need.
And the other thing that drives me up the wall is the amount of people cannot spell on Facebook – yet they all put up their stupid statuses on their walls. Is it only me or does that annoy anybody else, too? I mean, is it that difficult to check it with a spell checker before you put it up?
Anyway, moaning time is over. That’s the low carbs lol sorry about that.
I’m back at work tomorrow. It will be a bit difficult especially as I’m in the office so I won’t be able to take a nap if I get really tired. When I’m out and about visiting clients sometimes I nod off for 15-20 mins in the car between appointments if i need that to keep me going. Shhh, don’t tell my boss 🙂
Days are quite different and I don’t usually know what makes a difference. Sometimes I’m really tired and lethargic, even after a meal, and on other days I’m fine the whole day, even without resting. Our body is so strange and wonderful at the same time, and so unpredictable. Even though i’m having a high carb day I gotta say I feel tired so probably i will take a nap shortly.
Anyway, enough of rumbling on. Back to business tomorrow, I just can’t wait for the days to pass and get closer to the 11th September. It’s like waiting for Christmas 🙂
Have a good day everyone x
