I can officially say I am back into my normal routine. I had a very busy day yesterday with plenty of work to get done for our company website, suppliers to call, things to check with our pick and pack company, not to mention preparing for my meetings late in the afternoon. I felt very productive, and like I had accomplished at lot, but I was completely exhausted at the end of it (probably because I was still sending e-mails at 9pm).
Yet for all that it was a much better day all around on the diet front because I was back into my routine of eating my normal foods at the right times. I managed to have just under 1800 calories, plenty of fibre, enough fruit and veg and good proportions of protein, carbohydrates and fats. Actually I was pleasantly surprised that I managed to get as much protein as I did given lunch was a vegetarian bean stew. Though that created a different set of problems – belly bloating and wind. Having beans for every meal yesterday was not well thought out! Plus I know my body is no longer used to a high fibre diet, which makes the problem worse.
I also think that one of the reasons I was so exhausted in the evening was I didn’t fuel up properly after my workout. I had planned to have a Recovery Shake but then discovered there was only a dribble of milk left (as I was pouring it into the glass!), so turned to get a Protein Snack bar, only to find we were out of them as well! I was in a hurry so just had a yoghurt pot, thinking it hadn’t been that hard a workout or that long since I ate lunch. Mistake! I was absolutely starving when I got home at 6:30 and really, really tired, with dinner to make and more e-mails to send.
