Enough food to sink a battle ship

I really need to do a proper post to capture the weekend as it was pretty Rock and Roll, but until I figure out how to get the photos off our new camera, you'll have to wait!

What I will mention though is the amount of crap I consumed at the weekend.

Wispa Duo
M&S Ham and Mustard Sandwich
Half a giant bag of fake Frazzles
Giant bag of Cheesy Puff type crisps
3/4 bag of Cadburys Caramel Nibbles
1 x small tin Macaroni Cheese
1 x Festival Burger
4 x Festival 'not so dinky' donuts with about a bag of sugar on each
1 x Pint of Wine (I'm so classy)
2 x Jager Shots
At least 6 beers (though may have been more)
Service Station Fry up (1 rasher bacon, 2 sausages, 2 hash browns, mushrooms, egg, beans)
BBQ'd homemade Lamb Burger (this probably wasn't so bad as it was homemade, but it was in a white bun)
Beef Burger in White bun
Sausage in White bun
1 Slice of Key Lime Pie
1 Chocolate Cupcake
2 Slices of Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake
....And a partridge in a pear tree

What I think is most shocking when looking back at all the awful food I ate, is how empty it made me feel. Even after eating the donuts, filling myself with beer and eating a burger and stacks of crisps I still fancied chips. Luckily for me, I'd got so hungry I was pissed off so when we went to find a chip van and couldn't find one without walking all the way back to the arena I stropped off to bed!

Now you want to know the even crazier thing? Well since my official monthly weigh in, I've been feeling pretty skinny. I don't often feel skinny, but for the last few days I have. So I stepped on the scales this morning. 9 stone on the nose. Now I know that weight does fluctuate day by day, but seriously?! How can I get away with eating ALL THAT FOOD and not gain any weight - in fact actually lose some? Thats just not right. The scary thing is that if I was to run 10k today, I'd tip under 9st.

In order that I don't finish August massively underweight, I'm going to monitor my weight a bit more frequently, probably only with an extra weigh in mid-month, but I don't want to finish August having lost lots of weight.

I have a few more things to mention...

1) Physio is going great! I can now lift my arm above my head - this probably seems quite pathetic, but it's a major step for my subluxed shoulder! Got another appointment with my consultant later this month and I'm hopeful that I'll be making enough progress to not have surgery, squeee!

2) My regular porridge mix of 30g Jumbo Oats, 1 tsp G&B Cocoa Powder, 1 tsp Flax, 2 tsp Sweetener with 150ml Skimmed Milk has been further improved by the addition of 1 tsp Dessicated Coconut. It's seriously yum.

3) After 2 days suffering from the most random knee/hip pain, I'm back on form this morning and looking forward to hitting the gym at lunchtime.
