Who else has put on weight? I thought so.
Before Easter, I made a deal with myself. I'll avoid chocolate, if I can knowingly eat as many hot cross buns as I can cram into my mouth until Easter Monday, then it's back to business. So cram my face I did. I have eaten probably a total of 25 hot cross buns in about 2.5 weeks.
Spread out of course, that's not so much. 1-2 a day? That, of course, is not how I consumed them. In fact, I'm quite sure there was one or two days where I would eat two mini hot cross buns for every meal throughout the day.
It was not my proudest moment. But who am I to resist the Easter bun?
Long story short, as expected, I've stacked on 2kg and approximately 2% body fat.
I have a rough plan of a bit of a vegetarian detox. However, I don't get paid until Friday, and the usual food in this house rarely comes in fresh and organic.
Still, my metabolism has been sky high the last four days or so which is both a good and bad sign (great for metabolising fat etc, not so great given our bare cupboards void of actual food).
Today's diet thus far has been the last hot cross bun and a few mouthful's of yoghurt - my final goodbye to hot cross buns for another year. I was alright until about lunchtime when I decided I needed to eat everything. So I poured half a bag of frozen broccoli into the pan to fry up with some garlic and threw in a tomato for good measure.
The result was a delicious vegetarian mess.
For some reason, despite the protein high veggies I became absolutely ravenous afterwards. After half an hour I had another few spoonfuls of yoghurt.
I briefly did some weights too, but don't really feel like my heart was in it. I'll dig out my old exercise physiology notes tomorrow and go for a 15 minute run - if I can - based on very specific interval training to help burn off all this fat.
With my body, it's a miracle to hope for that I can shed 2kg/2% body fat in 2 weeks, but hey, let's give it a try.
