Monday:
D&D was moved to last night this week, instead of Tuesday. Lately we've been mainly snacking on fruit plus chocolate, but last night -- whether because it was the weekend or because we were all taking a break from our diets or something -- just about everyone turned up with junk. Raspberry chocolate muffins, cheesy crackers, chips, chocolate, alcoholic cider. We all gorged. It felt great at the time. I'd almost forgotten how great that overstuffed stomach can feel. Until it stops feeling great.
Up during the night with upset stomach. Like I was last Tuesday after D&D. Hmm, coincidence?
Did some dancing today as my exercise. I unlocked an alternate version of "You're just too good to be true" that featured a man in a pro-wresting outfit (purple tights and hood) doing an extremely effeminate dance. It was hilarious and dancing along was a really enjoyable few minutes. I was smiling all over my face. So exercise doesn't have to suck.
On the other hand ... off to bed so I can get up early for my running session. At least it hasn't rained for a few days so I won't be wading through soggy muddy grass!

Full not stuffed
Saturday:
I'm trying to work on portion sizes. In my quest to have healthy yet delicious and interesting lunches (with no wheat or processed food), I've been ending up with fairly elaborate meals that are as large as I would have at dinner time. Some say you should have the majority of your calories earlier in the day anyway, but since I like to have a big dinner I shouldn't eat so much at lunch time. Today I had a much smaller serve and was very satisfied: full but not stuffed. I feel much better -- sort of cleaner and more virtuous -- and hopefully won't get so sleepy in the afternoon.
Missed Parkrun again today but deliberately this time. As well as being a stinking hot day (although it probably wasn't too bad at 8 am) I am super busy getting an editing job finished and preparing for my sister-in-law's baby shower tomorrow.
I'll avoid all the cupcakes and gingerbread. I'll make sure to take some fruit so there is something I can eat and enjoy.
Back to work.
