Indeed. Tuesday this week was the day after a food day, and although I didn't stuff my face or eat lots of rubbish, it was all fairly stodgy and there was quite a lot of bread eaten. I thought about weighing in on Wednesday morning instead but in the end decided not to. The reasoning was that as I was 19 stone 1 on the nose last week, weighing in and still seeing 19 stone something (which seemed a possibility after Monday's consumption) rather than 18 stone something would have been thoroughly irritating and may have triggered a protracted sulk.
So, here I am, now on week six of the protein waters and still pretty much sticking to it. Mind you, I ate an orange this evening rather than have one of the PWs. I was starving! I bought some casein protein on Monday in the BX and it just doesn't seem to satisfy me as much as the whey protein I've been using. I tried alternating Designer Whey and this Optimum Nutrition stuff but it hasn't really helped. It might just be a hungry time of month, although I am only around mid-cycle so I shouldn't yet be feeling too terribly hungry. I thoroughly enjoyed that orange, for what it's worth.
Himself is off work this week. We're supposed to be sorting out the garage but haven't done too much as of yet. There has been some stuff removed, but really only additional stuff that I'd put in there (a few bags of stuff out the old camper and a couple of rugs - we've clearly got a mouse problem in the garage!), a folding bed. I've put the bikes in the back garden under a tarpaulin for now to get them out the way. Plan is to make room then assemble the tool bench and bring the personally owned tools down from his work so they can be stored until we move. The problem is going to be making room.
Today I went to the DIY store and bought twenty packing boxes and more bubble wrap. I have three big rolls of bubble wrap now, the theory being you can never have too much bubble wrap. I'm thinking given all the blankets, quilts and clothes we have that I may go back to the BX and get some of the storage bags you vacuum all the air out of to make them much smaller, which will help cut down on the amount of space all of that takes up. Tomorrow I will likely start packing up the spare bedroom which has most of my stuff in it, as I know what's what in there and what can be kept and what thrown out.
When Himself goes back to work next week I can start on the living room - if I get the back room sorted out before then, I may start on the basement. Oh, that will be so much fun.
I'm feeling pretty good weight wise today. I hate the fact that it is such a slog to get the weight off, but there you go - realistically I've been losing at a pretty good rate over the last few weeks so I can't be too annoyed about it. And I have only got five weeks under my belt! It's odd that I should be feeling so bouncy about it because I had a bit of a splurge last night. Had a tuna Subway for lunch/dinner in late afternoon and had three or four pieces of dark chocolate Toblerone and a large (not huge) bag of Cheetos (Flaming Hot, thanks, if you're buying) over the course of about six hours in the evening. Very enjoyable!
I don't often eat that sort of thing, but I don't tend to deny myself if that's what I feel like eating. Tomorrow will be probably steak and salad for dinner; Sunday I think I will be making a Danish dish involving sliced pork belly, potatoes and parsley sauce. I'm going to have a big omelette with bacon, peppers, spinach, onion and mushroom for breakfast tomorrow. I can't bloody wait!
