Not Sticking To My Diet Plan

I’m having a very bad day on my diet today, I woke up this morning and the sun was shining so me and my girlfriend decided that it would be a good idea to go out for Sunday lunch. It sounded like a good idea at the time because I said to myself I will be good and choose food off the menu which is healthy and low in calories. We decided to go to one of our favorites pubs were the food is absolutely delicious. For starters we tucked into the combo for two, which contain spicy chicken wings, onion rings, spring rolls, garlic bread and other delicious tasting foods which are very high in calories. It’s come out on quite a big plate because it is meant for two people.

You can guess what happened next the girlfriend hardly ate a thing from the plate leaving me to look at all this delicious food. I couldn’t resist it and I really tucked into the combo starter and probably ate around two thirds of it all on my own. For my main meal I had the massive mixed grill with chips. Which contains an 8 ounce chicken breast, an 8 ounce steak and 8 ounces of gammon, I managed to polish all that off as well.

The only good thing about it was, I was too full up at this point to even entertain a desert. So I left the pub feeling rather full and a little bit upset with myself once I had demolished all the food. I’ve just done a one hour weight training session in my home gym which should help to burn off some of the excess calories I have consumed today. I’m not finished there yet though I plan on doing a 30 minutes high intensity interval training session on my exercise bike to burn even more calories.

If you are going to over eat you need to make sure that you can lose the excess calories and at the moment I’m losing mine through exercise. The biggest problem with doing lots of exercise is, it makes you extremely hungry. It really does gives you the munchies, I’m been chewing on some gum for the last 30 minutes to try and reduce my cravings slightly. One bad day won’t hurt my progress though to be honest it will probably help me. I always said from day one that I would allow myself the odd blowout day were I would go wild and give into my cravings. I’ve got till Friday morning for my next weight in so I’m going to hit the gym hard this week and stick to my diet plan to make sure that I see another loss in my body fat percentage this week.
