30/06/09: Food

I had to leave early for work today because it was our department's away day. We did quite a few different things but none of it was really what you'd call physical (apart from a 3 minute bike trial and a bit of walking around). I still hoovered food up during lunch time. As a matter of fact, I ate so much food I actually don't remember what I ate... but I remember eating a lot. In other words, I've royally cocked up my point counting today. This morning wasn't so bad, I ate breakfast; 40g Fruit 'n' Fibre, had around 1/4 pint of skimmed milk, and 25g of mixed fruits and nuts on the coach. Lunch time was a whole different story and I vaguely remember eating at least:

• 3 chicken wings (w/ skin)
• 3 mini chicken satay type things
• 1 onion bhaji
• 1 chicken skewer type thing
• 1 large handful of wedges
• a few other assorted chicken type things in different forms
• 1 weird small canape type thing with soft cheese and red onions
• 2 small profiteroles

Can I just add that these were all probably deep fried or shallow fried in oil and there was NO, and I seriously mean this, NO salad bar or fruits unless you counted the pineapple that came with the cheese (eww) or the floppy cucumber that came on a mountain of tuna mayo on white bread. Shocking.

Then after the whole away day, some of us (including yours truly) went off to the pub and I must say sloe gin and lemonade is now my favourite drink - so I drank 5 of that...

Yes, I screwed up WW wise today and I feel shit about it. I could've been a more careful with the food like taking the skin off the chicken wings or not eating those profiteroles, but I had a very very weak moment and I will pay for it. I wouldn't be surprised if I actually see my first gain on Friday's WI. I just hope I can do enough between now and then to at least scrape a STS (stay the same). I can't dwell on it too much as what's been done has been done. I'll just be extra good for the rest of my WW week! Plus, I'm still so full that I'll go to bed without eating dinner 'cause I might just throw up. Lovely.

On a small positive note, I was totally able to drink 1.5 litres of water from the sheer fact that it was absolutely boiling today! I probably drank a little bit more than that in fact. Mind you, all that alcohol I drank later must have dehydrated me anyway... damn it!
