Bloody Brazil Nuts

Very quick post today, as doing this on the way into work on my phone, so please excuse typos.

Yesterday was horrible. I hated every second of it - I ate barely anything as there was nothing I wanted, I was "on the run" most of the day so not in a position to pack the very few meals that are acceptable, and I am sick to death of protein shakes and bloody brazil nuts.  I am not craving anything, I just feel hungry and bored and extremely irritable.

MB is being very sweet and patient with me - it must be frustrating for him hearing me complaining constantly but I am trying, I really am.  The initial "this is great" is now firmly in the past, I hate it.

If I'm honest, when this little experiment is over (which frankly looks like it will be earlier than I had originally anticipated) there are elements that I will take forward as a lifestyle change.  I will not be having carbs with every meal (I haven’t actually missed them that much) and I will certainly eat more protein.  I will be making better use of beans and pulses, which I have quite enjoyed (just not three times a day) and I will continue with the increased intake of vegetables and salads, which has been nice rather than always having pasta and rice accompaniments.

I am not going to weigh myself now until the weekend as I am having such a bad week if I get on the scales and there is no movement I will most certainly quit as this is no fun and if it is not working then there is no point.

BTW - breakfast this morning - boiled egg. Gipping.
