Friday (26)

Today was not so great... Let me explain. So my Friday started off normally. Kind of. I ate a little cake thing in the morning from a co-worker along with my clean egg muffins. I wasn't really worried because I had a run scheduled for the afternoon you know? 

Lunch was amazing. They had pumpkin soup which I LOVE along with bread but I did not eat the bread and instead ate two servings of the soup. I proabbly shouldn't have done that considering that the soup was creamy and I don't really know how many calories are actually in it. Whatever I said, I had a run in the afternoon it would balance out.

So, I ran. 5.5km. It was a good run you know?

And then dinner time came. UGH. So my housemate has gotten into the habit of having these parties at my house every friday. It's not necessarily a bad thing but it makes life much much harder for me. So that night they were having breaded pork and rice. I ate some with a huge portion of lettuce so I was actually pretty proud of myself. But the drinking got so, so out of hand. I drank about three glasses of wine a shot of tequila and two other mixed drinks. Literally over 1000 calories. For what? I had fun yes. I wasn't hung over yes. But I am ruining my hard work. My sweat and pain. It was not a good day.

Saturday (27)

I woke up really early Saturday and I didn't have much sleep. I'm going to say I got about 5 bad hours?

I slept on the floor because I had my friends stay over and I kind of made her stay over so I felt bad letting her sleep on the floor. I woke up fine. No hang over or anything. If anything I looked in the mirror that morning and thought damn I look good. It wasn't any specific thing but I felt tighter, more put together, I don't know how to put it really. I got some tea, spoke to my parents, it was a good morning.

I felt so good in fact that I got a banana chocolate crepe to start my morning. I thought a treat wouldn't be so bad because I was going to run a 10 k. haha, what was I thinking? ESPECIALLY because I was supposed to go to a friends house for brunch and guess what I was in charge of? Mimosas. SIGH. More alcohol. I drank 3 glasses of mimosas. And a lot of food. Like a lot. But I kept on telling myself its okay because you are going to run it off. I left early in order to avoid eating more and get on with my day.

I went grocery shopping and did some meal prep. It was getting later and I knew I had to go out to run. So I drank some coffee got my shit together and did my run. I thought it was going to be worse honestly but I really enjoyed my run. The weather was BEAUTIFUL! And I beat my fastest 10k by 10 MINUTES!!! GO ME! I was really proud of myself for that. After taking a shower and drinking a ton of water I wasn’t really hungry but I figured I needed to eat something to at least refuel my body. So I ate a cup of greek yogurt with jam. That was good. Then I slept.

Sunday (28)

Today I went on a hike!! I climbed up a mountain called Mikamiyama in Yasu city. It was great!!! I think that I could really learn to love hiking and it’s a fun way to get active. Because I’ve never really been hiking before I looked online to see what kind of breakfast was optimal to ensure a good hiking experience and it mentioned that eating a breakfast of mostly carbs would allow it to digest easily without trouble while climibing. I gladly followed those instructions. Like I ate 600 calories worth of carbs… It gets worse.

The climb was awesome of course but the people I was climbing with literally prepared a fest for when we reached the top. We ate so much. So so much. And it was so salty. Japanese food is really good and fresh and what not but it is so salty!!! I knew as I was eating it that this would really ruin my progress. It was simply too much salt.

We got down the mountain and they wanted to go to a café. There we got cake and coffee. Again I could have made a better choice here but I didn’t. I got home a couple of hours later and made some steak with spinach. No carbs. I had more than enough of my share of carbs for two days im sure. But anyway I kind of ended it better. But I knew there were going to be consequences come Monday. This morning I weighed in at 84.1. That was very disappointing for me because I knew I put in a lot of hard work these past four weeks and my weight doesn’t reflect that. I don’t want to lose this dietbet. It’s not fair to myself. So this week I am being really strict with myself. The only calories that will be iffy are my lunch. Besides that everything will be measured and I will stay well within my limits. I want to see what my body can really do. What a week of following a meal plan can really do for me.
