Motivation, where have you gone??
In Thailand last week I did not remotely stick to the diet. Then when I got back on Monday feeling tired and unwell and grumpy I ended up eating pasta and cake for dinner. I planned to ease my way back into the diet by eating low carb on Tuesday and not worrying about calories, and I just about managed it by the skin of my teeth. But then yesterday felt even harder, and I ate a huge amount of tortilla chips plus way too many calories. And it wasn't like I just said "fuck it" and threw in the towel - it was SO. HARD. yesterday. It's a miracle I didn't eat my way through my entire fridge and pantry.
Low carb food doesn't sound appealing, I can't be bothered cooking, I can't summon enthusiasm for meal planning, I don't want to go grocery shopping, nothing is particularly inspiring. In short, the diet gods are not smiling on me this week. Perhaps partly it's hormonal, partly it's stress/general discontent, but whatever the reason I need to just get over it.
Anyway, on that sunny note, plan for today is smoked salmon for breakfast, chicken and cashew stir fry for dinner, and who knows what for lunch. I think I have to force myself to the supermarket and find something that looks easy and reasonably healthy. And just hope that little motivation switch in my brain comes back online shortly.
