*DOUBLE POST* Day Five & Six | REFEED

Sorry everyone, I completely forgot to post yesterday because I just didn't plan my day out properly and didn't have time....

So I am back at it with another double diary post. I am going to keep it very short and sweet as I have been at work all day, I have food prep to do, I feel knackered and I need sleep.

Day 6 (Today)

Back on the grind again today. I think re-feed/cheat meals set me on the straight and narrow as they never usually spike my cravings and encourage me to eat more of the wrong foods the next day. Unfortunately I haven't been able to go to the gym and this will be the same for tomorrow as my gym closes at 4pm on a Saturday and 1pm on a Sunday, and I will be at work yet again tomorrow. 

 I have definitely not drank as much water as I should have because work has rushed me off my feet and been so busy but this is something I am going to try and make more time for tomorrow. The only issue being is that I can't constantly keep sneaking off to the toilet when we are busy serving.

Day 5

So I brought my refeed day forward by two days because I listened to my body, but remained disciplined in the fact that I didn't engulf a load of sh*tty carbs throughout the day. I stayed on track and then treated myself during the evening meal. I also did my 'basic bitch' leg workout (basically how I refer to any gym day when I am not lifting heavy, it is a joke I have with myself). I also did A LOT of walking and running around everywhere doing errands. But yeah, my refeed meal was disgustingly carb-y, my stomach wasn't loving me for it and I slipped into a deep food coma. 

 My stomach was just generally uncomfortable today and without being too graphic (I mean, you're here reading about my experience so I may as well be honest)  I believe the intense pain came from digestive problems and constipation, as that is what a restriction in carbs is known for causing as well as fatigue and nausea.
