Aha I know exactly what you mean! My usual protocol when I'm in a bad mood is fix myself a gin and tonic and then put a blanket over myself on the sofa and never move. Still, the gym does help once you're there!Mm that soup sounds gorgeous. Not high in calories either for lunch! Well done for doing the gym even after a hard day - I tend to think fuck it if I've had a horrible day at work!
I was knackered yesterday. I think working/going out all of last weekend plus working all of this week caught up with me! Did zilch cleaning. Instead, I drank rum and watched League of Gentlemen with my boyfriend. Good enough for a Friday night. I don't what it is about Fridays that makes me crave alcohol. When I did a dry January a couple of years ago I didn't miss it at all until Friday evenings came along. Something in my brain lights up at around 5pm going 'it's the end of the week, you must reward yourself!'
(as if going home and taking two days off work isn't a reward in itself). Somehow, drinking a pint of orange squash didn't give me the same satisfaction. Once I 'got through' a Friday night, socialising with people who were drinking alcohol for the rest of the weekend didn't bother me. I get to see my house for the second time today. So excited! I have about a million pins on my Pinterest board for decor ideas, so I will finally get a better idea of how it will work in practice. We're also going out for a meal tonight. I have been super organised and have already picked what I'm having, as well as a back-up choice in case they don't have it in for whatever reason.
Here's how yesterday went:
Breakfast
1 sausage, half a tomato and a bit of hummus (279 calories, 3g carbs)
Lunch
Spicy chicken salad (approx 400 calories, 17g carbs)
Dinner
Sea bass madras with bean sprouts (448 calories, 16.4g carbs)
Snacks
A couple of chocolates (70 calories, 15g carbs)
Drinks
3 teas, 1 coffee, 1 pint of orange squash (40 calories, 4g carbs)
2 double rums and Diet Coke (200 calories, 0g carbs)
A can of beer (176 calories, 16.4g carbs)
Total - 1,613 calories, 71.8g carbs
A bit high on the calorie front because of the alcohol, but I am happy with those carbs. Would give myself about a 5 out of 10.
