Beating Back The Beast - four weeks, five days.

Fell off the wagon! Yesterday I  ate a small chocolate bar. It didn't taste as I remembered it, it seems to have lost its flavour. What it did do though was turn me into the energiser bunny. My poor students. Just as well my Japanese student wasn't there. he struggles to understand English at the best of times and last night I was speaking so fast I am not sure my English speaking students could understand me. It did mean my work out was also done at high speed.

The chocolate bar yesterday did though reinforce what I know about myself, I reach for sugar in times of stress. Something to watch for in the future. The workout last night was a good destresser  and I am hoping that as my body allows me to train more I will need to reach for the sugar less and less.

I am still disappointed on a daily basis that I am not losing any weight at all. It seems I eat very little and i am increasing my activity levels but weight loss is elusive. I am trying not to let this affect my motivation to stay off the chocolate. The Beast whispers , but it isn't making a difference and look how much energy you had last night. I yell back at the Beast, LOOK AT HOW GOOD I HAVE BEEN FEELING, LOOK AT MY RUN TIME!

The Beast continues to whisper but I did not have chocolate today.
