Food Amnesia

Here is what happens when you stop religiously tracking what you eat - you gain 1kg in a week. This is despite 6 or 7 intense training sessions - sometimes twice a day. This morning I was in total disbelief when I saw the scales at home that I weighed myself at the gym as well. Yep they were right the first time.

I spent the next hour wondering what was wrong with me - was I not eating enough, or was there actually something medically wrong with my metabolism and it's ability to process the healthy food I had eaten all week and burn fat? Should I go and see a nutritionist again - maybe someone different this time?

Then I saw the light - I have amnesia! I haven't been tracking my food and I have been allowing myself little treats here and there. Afterall, I've been doing so much training, right? WRONG!!! I can't remember exactly what I ate, but I can now tell you that the last week included and apple & custard scroll from Baker's Delight, a block of Lindt Intense Orange dark chocolate, 2 x caramello koalas, pizza for lunch on Friday, a packet of Pods, 1 small packet dinosaur lollies, 2 x skim hot chocolates, french toast cafe style (as in white bread and maple syrup)... I am going to stop now. You get the picture. I think every day last week must have been a treat day.

So the good news is that there is nothing wrong with me - I have just had a week of eating waaaaay to much crap. I now have some work to do.
