Fit to burst!

I think that if days were to have themes, the one for today, for me, would have to be food. I have eaten non-stop since lunchtime. I couldn’t say that I have eaten a lot (…), I certainly couldn’t say that I have eaten the healthiest of menus today, and I categorically couldn’t say that I will never eat ever again – but right at this moment in time I certainly could (but not the healthy option!).

I am so full, I can hardly breathe. I’m managing to do so, which is always a blessing in itself, but it is taking an extra effort. I can’t be bothered walking anywhere, so I am just blobbing around, like a useless lump right now. I am getting some things done, and I am typing this post, but without any energy.

I’ve been nibbling all afternoon. ‘Healthy’ oven roasted potato chips (the packets say), and I suppose they are healthy if you eat say a couple of the chips, or one bag at the most. I ate four. Packets, not crisps. In quick succession. Well, they were moreish. I always thought the ‘healthy’ varieties somehow lacked flavour, but these didn’t.

After my second pack, I ate three Carvery Ham and salad sandwiches – healthy in themselves, but not during four packets of crisps. Then, I ‘nibbled’ on a Hot cross Bun, followed by two slices of toasted Hot Cross Bun Loaf. After all of this indulgence, I drifted off to sleep. I use the term ‘drifted off’ in the vaguest sense possible – it was probably more like me zoning out immediately. I had a lovely sleep, and then woke up to eat a lovely hot dog and fried onions with Southern Fries. Followed by fresh strawberries, red grapes and vanilla ice cream.

After writing that, I feel as though I have eaten it all again.

Not only did I manage to fit all of that in, I did so on what was probably the hottest day of the year so far. I’m sure it was the heat that sent me to sleep earlier – it wasn’t as though I’d eaten a heavy meal or anything beforehand…

I must watch my food intake though. All the hard work that I put myself through last year when I swam all of those miles will be for nothing if I was to put the weight back on. And besides, I will be starting back swimming soon, so I may as well go (for one year at least) looking as though I don’t really need to go. I usually only go when I need to lose weight – this year will be the first of many exceptions to the rule! Honest!

I’ve just heard some rumbling outside. I can’t say it was a ‘rumble in the jungle’ since the majority of the trees mysteriously vanished last year, so it can only be one thing. Thunder!

April showers are on their way – forecast for tomorrow in fact, and they will probably bring some thunder and lightning with them. I love a good thunderstorm! Only time will tell…

All in all, a great day. Not very productive. Not very stimulating. Not very creative. But relaxing, warm and enjoyable. Just as Sundays should be. Yes I feel full, but I also feel good. I’m grateful for any opportunity to feel good, so no complaints here.
