DAY 72 - MEALS

MEAL 1 - Eggs x3 with plaice, coconut oil and tommy bobblehat

It seems getting changed in to my training gear ready for Olympic lifting class in a few hours tricked my brain in to thinking food quantities were for a 'training' day, so meal 2 has only 75g of meat for protein instead of the 145g I should have eaten... oopsie. And why change so early? Well my Canterbury trousers (same size I've been wearing for training since about 2008) have quite literally started falling off and sliding down when I train, and so I have made the rather challenging decision to try wearing my black leggings (that I hate and only bought for the body composition photos) for class tonight. It sounds like such a simple thing doesn't it, but to me I feel like far too much is on show only wearing them around the house. I suspect it might be comparable to wearing a bikini for most people - and sure lots of people have no trouble wearing a bikini, but training in one? Well that's what it feels like at the moment, hence I hoped allowing myself some time to 'adjust' to the idea of wearing them training might help. I suspect Coach SG will have a fit, as he's been battling to get me out of my layers and huge trousers so he can actually see what my knees are doing for ages. (I will still probably pack the trousers in a bag, just incase my head explodes and I bottle it at the last minute).

MEAL 2 - Roast chicken (75g - oops) with coconut oil and curry powder, tommy bobblehat, kale and onion.
(I will increase Meals 3 and 4 by 35g each, so 180g to try and balance out the miscalculation)

I actually got so nervous about going training in my leggings... that my stomach became a walnut and I couldn't eat meal 3 due to feeling too sick.

MEAL 4 - Steak and prawns (180g) leeks, tenderstem broccoli, kale and onion (all veg cooked in coconut oil)
(I had two more plates full of veg, and was still bloody hungry afterwards - and might have nibbled a few brazil nuts too)
(also many thanks to bear chef)
