Beating Back The Beast -one week five days

Did the Beast win?. I didn't train today but instead of conceding a win to the Beast I am taking today as a rest day, a day for the body to heal.

The Beast did have a play in my decision but I had already been concerned I had not had a rest day in over a week. It is crucial to allow the body a day off. For muscle tissue to be allowed to heal, so although I may have had a dodgy tummy today, and that may have been because I have not been consistent with my diet (something the Beast punishes me for severely) I am taking a rest day!

I need to be more consistent with my nutrition but the thing is I hate cooking. I used to love to bake but that is now off the table. I have never really enjoyed cooking, and the fact that the foods I now get to eat are not even close to being on my favourite lists of foods doesn't help. I have actually come to the sad conclusion if it tastes like poop then it will be good for me, if it tastes good and I really like it it's guaranteed to have an adverse reaction on my body. Terrible attitude but the Beast has taught me well with its punishing ways.

So I continue to hate my food and have an intense dislike for cooking. This is not helpful as I will take shortcuts and I will not eat properly to avoid my two pet hates. This leads to days like today. Sigh I am my own worst enemy. But today is a rest day and tomorrow Scarlet...tomorrow!

Kumara (sweet potato) Fries, cabbage, kale, spring onion coleslaw and Beef and pork patties.
