According to Everyday Health, I burned 727 calories just by walking yesterday. Admittedly I walked for over three hours in the blazing heat from one side of West London to the other, all in the name of finding sushi. I found said sushi, and it was worth it. For about five seconds, until I realised how much food I'd consumed, stepped on the scale and saw 167.8 flash up at me a bunch of times.
For the record, I was 162 this morning, so I didn't actually gain. But I never want to see a number higher than 165 on my scales ever again. Seriously.
In some lights, this is very good news. 2000 calories of vegan food, and a couple of hours walking, and I've maintained. Even a month ago, that amount would have been weight-gain territory. So this, in its own little way, makes me happy.
Today I've eaten 3 bananas with peanut butter, an iced soy latte, 3 vegetable samosas with pakora dip, a full fat Coke (sugar craving, don't ask), a huge plate of steamed baby new potatoes with some sriracha ketchup and mustard (completely blanked on checking the calories, but I feel like it was probably a lot as I ate the whole bag - F U reduced Sainsbury's fruit and veg...), and a bag of banana chips. Then at 2 a.m., at some point during or maybe before I started crying on Skype to Lina about our relationship, I devoured most of a cinnamon-raisin bagel with peanut butter and Marmite. So yeah, I definitely hit around 2000 calories again today, but to make matters worse I didn't exercise. I just smoked a lot and felt like a sweaty pig dying somewhere in the Sudan.
More tomorrow...
