First, a summary of yesterday (Tuesday) :
Calories : 2144. Not good.
Exercise : 50 mins on bike. Just got home as it started to rain.
Dunno what happened yesterday but I had my snout in the icecream tub again. Fortunately there was not much left and now it will not be a problem for today ..
Otherwise I have been generally satisfied with progress compared to recent weeks. Snacking is not so much a problem these days. The secret ? Have no snacks in the house - not ones I like anyway. So a multi-pack of cheese and onion crisps (yuck !) is not of the slightest interest to me. Marmite crisps on the other hand ... so we do not get these anymore.
The real danger is a gnawing hunger after a run around the woods and murdering a sandwich (2 slices !) which can be easily 250 cals and guaranteed to have bust the calorie budget by the end of the day. So I am now tending to time my runs etc. so that they finish closer to meal times. Not always successfully, mind. It depends what else is on the agenda for the day. Oddly enough, a really long run has me totally disinterested in food for quite some time. Thirsty, yes; but not hungry really. Not until some four hours or so later ...
Yes, I am still learning.
Gotta dash.
