Day 5 Going Well

So thats the weekend out of the way.

I did have some drinkies over the weekend, but Gin and Tonics. I noticed that I drank far more gin and tonic than I would have liked. It just goes down too easily. So someone suggested I look into San Mig Light. Well, the results are in:-

• Gin and tonic (2 ounces gin, 4 ounces tonic water): 21 carb grams, 178 calories

• 12-ounce light beer has 5 carb grams and 100 calories. (2 of these is slightly more than 1 Large one here in Thailand (And San Mig specifically is 98calories per small bottle, and only 3.5 carb grams).

So, as Im watching the carbs, and because I drink far more Gin Tonic in the same period of time I would drink a San Mig Light - Im switching to the beer. Suits me better, and will work out at less calories, and much less carbs.

For food over the weekend, I just continued with the norm. Chicken Breasts, Eggs, some veggies, salad, Tuna, with small snacks consisting of salted peanuts, or sundried beef. I had a treat yseterday, as Nokk had bought me a nice bit of Beef from Rimping.

I didn't excercise over the weekend. I was always going to have Sunday off, but on Saturday when I was gearing up to go to the pool, I realised it would be full of those children things, so I decided against it.

Today, been up from 5.30am, and I've had a couple of scrambled eggs and water. Im off to the pool in an hour for my 54 lengths! Then off to Tesco to get something for lunch and dinner and my Coke Zero fix.

3 days till the first weigh in since the start! Fingers crossed! Hoping for better than 1 kg, but we will see.
