Drove out the driveway this morning, heard a tink-tink-tink noise in time with the wheel rotation. Uh-oh.
I'd gotten a screw in the tyre.
I drove back home (20m), texted my boss to say I'd be late, changed to the temp tyre on my driveway (ugh lugnuts), and took it in to the place where I'd gotten the tyres. They plugged the hole and everything and I was only 90 minutes late to work.
*sigh*
It could have been worse - an entirely new tyre costs $300, and plugging the hole only cost $40...
While waiting for the tyre fix, I ended up having brekky at Maccas. Okay, so my food choices were not going to be great this morning since I couldn't be bothered making my fruit smoothie and was going to pick something up on the way to work anyway. I was planning to do the same at lunch, actually.
Plus, because I ate the McMuffin and hash brown relatively fast (as you do with fast food), I am presently feeling a little over-full. Not uncomfortable, just not entirely pleasant either.
The phrase that my cleanse diet coach has been using is "honouring fullness" which I find is a really good way to look at it. I tend to eat more than my body needs, and that often happens because I'm listening to my mouth and my brain ("I want flavour!" "I'm bored!") more than I'm listening to my stomach ("Oh, no, we're full. No room at the inn!")
The cleanse diet is pretty much done, but a lot of it is just working out your metabolism and how various foods make your body feel, which I think has been pretty successful.
Gluten and dairy tend to make me feel bloated - at least in the quantities and at the speed that I consume them. Maybe if I slowed down a lot, I might not feel so over-full afterwards.
I didn't notice a problem with strawberries, tomatoes, or meat - although meat (beef, pork, etc.) may come under the same issue of quantity and speed of consumption. If I slowed down and listened to my body's fullness levels, it might not be so bad.
Did I lose weight? I don't think so. (I didn't weigh myself, and my clothes don't feel any lighter.) But I stopped feeling so bloated all the time, and weight loss was a tertiary goal at best. First goal was to work out my metabolism, second was to be healthier in my food choices.
I didn't watch the Oscars, didn't pay attention to them. But I'm not exactly surprised anymore.
