Hi All
So after my fairly 'wrist-slashing' blog on Saturday afternoon - I've just re-read it and realised how low I sounded and felt - I had a really nice FB chat with an old friend (well my sister's friend but I'm borrowing her for the moment) who is also a SW trainer and was my very first SW consultant - in the days when a satsuma was 2 sins!!!!
She guided me to the support section of the SW website which I can highly recommend if you are struggling - I can't honestly say I used any of the tools there but reading through some information really helped me regain a bit of perspective and I'm feeling much more motivated now :)
Saturday evening we went to see Star Wars episode 1 in 3D - my first (& probably last) 3D experience. It was great to see the movie again on a big screen - Andrew is the Star Wars geek in our house but I too love the film - but wearing the special glasses over my glasses was very uncomfortable & gave me a whacking headache :(
We decided not to go out to eat (probably a good move because I'd not have been in the mood to be sensible) so I just had a black coffee and a banana whilst watching the movie.
Sunday, I went to the gym & amazingly I was looking forward to going - I'd missed it!!
Came home & then went for coffee with A's parents. We went to the really nice cafe in Pinner Park - more black coffee for me while they all had panninis, scones etc. In truth I didn't want anything as I'd eaten some chicken and fruit on the way home from Curves - I'm always ravenous after my circuit.
The rest of the day was pretty quiet and as Dom went out for dinner with friends I didn't cook a meal. Just nibbled throughout the day to be honest which was fine because............
I lost 2lbs on Monday - HOORAY :0)
Can't tell you what a relief it was to finally shift a couple of pounds after virtually a month of nothing. I know it's been down to my lack of effort but that doesn't take away the bad feeling - in fact it makes it worse.
I'm sure it was in big part to the major increase in water/squash etc this week and the focus on berries & green veg. Also I felt that I was probably eating too much so started to put some fruit in a bowl (no not a bucket!!) to nosh through rather than just grabbing a bag of cherries or box of strawberries and chomping my way through.
Yesterday & today I've been pretty good but tomorrow will be tricky as I'm taking Dom on his Uni visit to Nottingham - past experience says that the chips look better than the salads!! - but I'll do my best.
Got to go now as dinner (breast of lamb -stuffed with rice & mushrooms with sugar snaps & broccoli) needs finishing.
Happy Valentines Day to all.
Love
Lxx
