Days 218 - 236

There hasn't been any blogging lately because there hasn't really been a diet lately either. I failed to get back on track after my birthday and although I haven't gone food crazy, there has been some weight gain over the past few weeks; around 6lbs, so unfortunately, it puts my B.M.I. back into the 'obese' range again. Part of the problem is that I've started having some problems with my knee again which has stopped me working and put a hold on my new exercise regime but it hasn't stopped me riding my motorcycle thank goodness! I've found myself comfort eating a few times too, I get really miserable really quickly when I can't walk without pain so I've started going out for a motorbike ride more often, usually the very minute I start feeling bored. Not only is it a great distraction but also I need lots of practice for when I go for my full bike license and most importantly, I enjoy it no end.

I've also had some trouble sleeping lately, I find that if I need to turn over in bed instead of just flipping over, I need to actually wake up and lift my leg up, if I don't the pain wakes me up anyway. That's also not helped my diet at all, when I feel tired and lacking in energy, I always feel so hungry and how ever sensibly I try and eat, when I'm tired I make terrible decisions and things go wrong so easily.

Yesterday I managed to calm my eating down quite a lot so I'm going to cut down my carbohydrate intake over the next few days and the plan is to start back on CD this weekend seeing as the boyfriend is going to be away for a couple of days and I'll be left to my own devices. I feel like I've let myself down a bit by taking so long getting back on track, it's especially disappointing seeing as I was over ¾ of the way to my goal, and I've put almost a ½ stone back on again, but I'm determined to get to my goal and I'm not going to let this hiccup get me down.
