Thoughts & Feelings

* Lunch date today and with evening plans uncertain, I opted to fill up at lunch time. It's still healthy and the carbs are relatively early in the day. I did feel a little guilty about the extra coke but, hey, I paid for it (in a it-came-free-with-the-offer kind of way). Bottom line is that this is my main meal of the day so no regrets.

* The lunch time plans also meant no exercise, which is unfortunate but not a disaster.

* Forgot my apple, which is a bit annoying but it's absence is made up for my the extra salad in my Subway.

* No headache today. Some residual neck and shoulder pain but I have taken opportunities to move around and stretch, which seems to be helping.

* I actually feel pretty good today. I managed to comfortably fit into a polo shirt that I had long since abandoned for being too tight. I have been wearing my 36insch trousers, purely because they were the first ones I found but with the belt now on the final notch and my trousers still too loose, I think it is time for a permanent switch down to the 34's.

* I am actually looking forward to the weigh in this weekend. But whatever the scales say, I can feel the difference which at the end of the day, is more important than an arbitrary number.

* After my big lunch, I felt a little bloated. Rather pathetically, slightly self conscious in my (still somewhat) tight fitting, recently rediscovered polo shirt, I caught myself sucking my gut in a bit to hold up the pretence that I had a slim line, svelte figure.

* It remains noticeable how quickly I become agitated. I go from 0 to 100 with the girls almost instantly, and just as quickly regret the outburst. I have moments of genuine concern when I worry if I am causing them psychological damage or ruining my time with them during their most important, formative years.

* In a slightly different vein, I become anxious over the thought that I had overpaid for a round of drinks, the thought consuming me for about 30 minutes. I was conscious of it, which helped me to rationalise it, deal with it and ultimately forget about it and I am able to see the progress I have made by this act.
