Day 6 - ut-oh! Scale trouble! cream and calories


oh dear! the 'metal monster' has reared its ugly head again.

When will I ever learn? - daily weigh-ins are not good for me.  I hop onto the scales and if I haven't lost anything I am in a right moody for the rest of the day.

So the metal monster in my bathroom has been put out of reach and will only come out once a week in future.  Hey ho, you would have thought that I would not get upset by this stuff any more - but apparently not!

So it's a case of doctor-heal-thyself and I am following the advice I gaily gave out to poor dear Wendy when she was having scale issues.

Other than that a pretty quiet day - I had a bit of an Atkins disaster today - no, I didn't stuff an entire bar of chocolate down my gullet or anything like that - but I went to the supermarket to stock up on eggs and cream.  Put them in the basket on my bike and rode off down the road.  All of a sudden, there was an enormous CRASH as my basket slipped off its clip and scattered its contents all over the pavement.  I broke 6 out of 12 eggs and lost all my cream.  Rather an expensive accident!  The fact I had library books in the same basket made the whole scenario even worse.  I will have to explain to the librarian why Council property is coated in an eggy-cream mix!

I was rescued by a sweet little girl who ran across the road telling me that her mummy asked if I would like a couple of plastic bags.  I gratefully accepted.

I have been religiously filling in my eating on Fitday - and this evening despite feeling completely full, my Fitday tells me that I have only consumed 1,000 calories.  What's going on here?  Believe me, if I had to limit myself to 1,000 calories on any other diet, approaching me would be like treading on the tail of a sabre-toothed tiger. (Beloved will testify to this).  Still feel quite full and its bedtime, so I shall just leave the calories at that for today and see what happens.

Still clean and going strong.
