Asleep for 10 minutes in Hyde Park whilst Will & Kate were saying their vows

Activities: Walked 9 miles

Temptation? Everything in Hyde Park - Fish & chips, hot dogs, crepes, hog roasts, steak baguettes, strawberries & cream, honeycomb ice cream, banoffee pie, waffles, cake cake cake!  Managed to abstain.

Mood: Good

Notes:

Royal wedding, everyone eating and drinking...  Really not fussed about booze at the moment, but seeing all the picnics and take away vans in Hyde Park got me salivating. Went in search of a 'Crussh' for some healthy options but it was closed, so we opted for an Italian.  Also got a delicious fruit smoothie mid-afternoon when my body was crying out for CAKE!!

Getting low on supplies now, well overdue a shop!  People often comment on how expensive it is to eat well.  This is a poor excuse, it's easy to eat well without increasing your food budget.  If you decide to eat organic and use some more exotic ingredients, then ok, it's going to cost you a bit more.  But if you want to look and run more like a sports car and less like a 20 year old banger, then you have to use premium fuel!  Besides, if you undertake a similar eating plan and cut out your weekly spend in the pub & premium coffee shops, you'll find yourself with plenty of spare cash.  Don't devalue the importance of what you put in your body, we're talking about short and long term health, it's everything.
