Stomach bug

Down with a stomach bug - had to miss Saturday's workout and still not feeling 100% right. Hope I feel good enough to hit Tuesday's workout.

Overeating at lunch

Another first - overate at lunchtime. That too once the healthy, light nice lunch was over, gorged on chana of all things. It's been a while since I did this and it didn't feel great. Not a serious thing really, but have to watch the unusual appetite pangs when the schedule is not all hunky dory while the IPL is on. Keep eating small frequent meals. Can't get simpler than that, can it?

Impulse carb eating at night!

The stress is starting to have its effect and cloud the thinking. Okay, so got back home after a stressful day and felt hungry despite the customary yogurt. Should have had the watermelon lying in the fridge. But went for comfort carbs instead and ended up having half a jar of raagi chips.

It's okay as a one time treat only - don't let it happen again! Comfort yourself by all means, but try fruit. Or a small portion of chips with a glass of milk.

Unmeasured breakfast before workouts

A couple of slip ups creeping in. Just had a huge cereal breakfast, which is okay before a workout, but had it in many small helpings as I was eating my first portion. Ended up not knowing the portions that I finally had. Bad habit eating. Eat, by all means. But measure the portions and keep tabs. Not arbitrarily dumping small portions and adding milk because you are tempted with the sugar in the cereal!
