Where is everyone this week. I really had a bit of a crisis this week so not been good
Last Monday evening I phoned where I work privately on a Tuesday to see what patients were booked in to be told that they are shutting in 2 weeks time!!!! I have clinics booked, all my cards have the shop number on it so my home visits also phone them. I have no days off in the week to try and sort it out - popped there today to try and sort things out only to find a notice on the door saying now shut on Saturdays so can't access anything. I know its a rubbish excuse re the unhealthy diet but along with still visiting the 2 relatives not made time to plan meals.
I need to stop making excuses and get eating healthily.
Oh no, clinics shutting...not good! More challenges for super Diane to deal with. Dont worry about your diet, you find your way because you're always conscious of it (be it good or not as good as it should be, you finds your way!). But regardless of life challenges, eating well and healthily helps deal with them...perhaps think of it that way at least. Getting all your main vitamins and minerals, charges our brain to deal with anything thrown at us.
I too am struggling to eat at the right times, remember the days I used to advice split the meals throughout the day...that still stands always will (unless we evolve into a camel)...just a shame I'm not practising what I used to preach, lol. I dont have any excuses though, I can split those meals if I put my mind to it, so I better do that.
About splitting meals...it does wonders for losing fat for several reasons. 1. it increases the body metabolism, so you burn fat easier and quicker. 2. Cuts the cravings for sweet stuff. 4-5 meals a day (not more calories, just smaller meals. Try pack lunching and dip in at intervals)
My personal progress this week has been continued failure to win a game at the start of the week but my last two games, I finally found my winning ways on both occasion and amazingly enough to survive from being delegated to division 3. So I remain in Div 2, yay...well, small yay. Now to work my way up through the division to div 1. Have set myself a new fitness phase program tomorrow. I have much body fat to lose so it will be a high reps, low weights phase for me in the next 4-5 weeks, mixture of circuits and traditional gym work with my usual squash and cricket net sessions.
Diet wise...well today, I went to an Avenged Sevenfold concert at the o2...had two beers and a hotdog. Way to set an example! But its Saturday, it was a great rock concert and I did eat relatively healthy during the week so its fine.
Hope everyone is well. Eat healthy as much as you can, cover those vitamins and irons in the form of diverse colour vegetables (fruits too but remember fruits have sugar, vegs has same nutrients but without the calories). But also enjoy your treats, just do so in moderation and perhaps as a reward on weekends.
I've given myself a stiff talking to, and have resolved to make much healthier food choices going forward. I'm stocking up on fish, salady stuff and vegetables and have resolved to cook my meals from fresh. I am going to be using a smaller plate to eat off as well.
