Exhausted

I am exhausted. Strangely yesterday I felt great, the aches in my arms was barely noticeable, I had amazing energy all day and normally I nap for a couple of hours during the day, but the last couple of days I haven't felt the need to nap. I even spent an hour on the treadmill at a gentle pace nothing too strenuous but I still managed a sweat.

I knew that this morning would be difficult getting up for a 6am swim, especially due to the past two days of rain we have had so was not looking forward to getting into the cold pool. It was a chilly 22 degrees this morning (how sad am I?), so as per usual I had to dive in as I am not a toe in at a time person, that just puts me right off.

I only managed 10 laps today. It was really hard going, I took my time and took lots of long breaks in between which I used to stretch out my body which is really feeling it today. Only one week of dieting and exercising and I am wasted. I'm hoping things get better because today I am feeling really nauseous after swimming. I'm wondering if I am taking in too much pool water?

Have noticed that I am eating less too. I can no longer stomach 3 steaks and 3 fried eggs, I'm now down to 1 steak and 2 eggs. So hopefully the weight will start coming down. My standard diet is:-
Breakfast
3 egg omlete beaten up with a little water. Fried in a pan with butter. I then sprinkle in 2 thinly sliced mushrooms, a handful of shredded chicken, a handful of grated cheese and a sprinkling of chopped onions. I do enjoy breakfast.
Lunch
Either a seared chicken classic salad from Macca's or I'll make a chicken, gourmet lettuce, cuccumber and onions wrapped in a large lettuce leaf and I'll eat probably 2 of those. But the Macca's salad is really filling.
Dinner
Large cuts of steak or port cooked in butter and garlic with 3 fried eggs which I am now reducing my meats, and now only having 2 eggs.

I am maintaining my weight which is depressing because those first couple of days I noticed the weight coming down each morning as I weighed my self. So I am feeling confident now that I can reduce the amount I am eating because I am feeling fuller sooner and I am not picking or snacking in between meals which is something that I normally did, but I don't have that craving.

Late at nights are the hard yards for me. That's when I get that sugar crave come on and last night it was the worst it has been. I could smell chocolate even though there is none in the house. I was getting really cranky and annoyed and so I started yelling and it gave the boys a fright till I told them why I was yelling and wanted to hit something as I pounded my fists into the arm rests of the lazy boy I was sitting in. I was trying to keep my mind occupied by watching a funny movie and doing up a newsletter at the same time. Yet still my mind smelt, heard or saw chocolate wherever I looked!!!! Arrrgggghhhhhhh.

Tired now, want to spend the day sleeping. Will go to the video shop, get out the new releases and just relax because next week is weigh in and I am going to have to put in some serious workout sessions and get on top of this eating.
