Yesterday was a weird day. During these past two weeks I have grown so accustomed to keeping my food diary that taking a break from the habit felt odd. I missed it. I missed knowing exactly how much I have eaten and how much I could still eat. I guess that goes to show that I lack the ability to approximate the amount of energy I get from my daily meals. That’s something I eventually need to work on.
Anyhow, yesterday was not recorded in my food diary because my friend and I went out for lunch. I’m a perfectionist and since I wouldn’t have been able to be entirely sure of the nutritional contents of the food, I decided not to write it down at all. So, we headed to one of the oh-so-many Chinese restaurants in town and filled ourselves with noodles, shrimp, bananas and ice cream. Fried noodles of course. And fried bananas. Heck, in that place they probably fry everything – including napkins.
All in all, yesterday wasn’t too bad. I woke up so late that I only had time for a very light breakfast before lunch and after the final spoonful of fried bananas I was full for the day and didn’t even resort to snacks during the evening. What I did do instead was drink water. The food at the Chinese place was MUCH saltier than the food I have gotten used to so my body was in desperate need of water. That is to say that I’ve probably managed to gather at least some amount of fluids into my body during the past day or so.
Anyhow, my final weigh in for this week:
74.2 kg
