Day 73 – Lazy Day!

I got to bed last night at 4.ooam (well its really this morning isn’t it?), I just wasn’t very tired and before you ask yes I had a lot of coffee yesterday.

Funnily enough I crawled out of be at 9.30am, I immediately put on my tracksuit and trainers and bolted out the door. I started with a very fast walk and then started jogging which then had me running like I was being chased. I lasted 29 minutes of actual running which is better than yesterday. I don’t understand how only taking a few days off from exercise (stuck pooh) can bring me so back in my exercise regime?

Then Elvis decided that he would go and rub himself all over what I thought was grass and it ended up being dog pooh. The smell was out of this world and had me gagging…it reeked!!!

We got home and I have bathed and bathed him and sprayed his doggy perfume on him and he smells sooo delish…now.

Food wise, I had a V8 juice for breakfast and a cup of coffee about 2 hours later and for lunch I ate organic oatmeal and I sprinkled the oatmeal with honey, almonds and walnuts (very nice) and dinner will be Moroccan Chickpea Salad with some tuna. Water has been hard to drink today but I will persevere and keep sip, sip, sipping.

I had a bulimic moment last night, which was frustrating. I decided that I would eat some of the potato salad from the Organic Supermarket with a piece of steamed fish. I ate my fish first as it is really important to get protein down first with the lap band and then I took the tiniest bite of the potato salad. The potato had the skin on it and I think this was the reason for my spewage.

I got up and made it to the toilet (for once) and POP everything and I mean everything came out of me. The pain was intense and it hurt like fuck. I came back into the dining room and was so turned off my meal. I sort of let it get to me and burst into tears out of sheer frustration.

I know, I know, I know its all about trial and error and I need to work out what I can and cant eat but the more “experimental” I am becoming the more frustration is setting in. I have said it before and I will say it again it IS all about trial and error.

Anyway I spent the day doing laundry and tidying up my back yard and verandah (I have no back garden).

It’s just been a very mellow day for me. I feel a nap coming on.

Hope everyone’s weekend has been a fabulous one!!!
