Hi All
Having put on half a pound this week I've made a pledge with myself that this week will be different - and so far it is :)
Yesterday after class I had loads to do - IT problem to sort for Dom (oldest son who rarely gets a mention because he's less problematic on the whole!!), present buying for my dad to give my mum on her birthday, present buying for Jo & I to give my mum on her birthday (next week), and present for Toby (birthday next week) - phew!! After that lot no money for chocolate!!
I also had a mooch around Lakeland (one of my favourite shops) but didn't buy anything although, as usual, built up a major wish list in my head.
Then off home and out again to collect Tobz and take him to band practise in Barkingside :0)
I did pause at home for about 30mins and grabbed a smoked salmon and Quark parcel with a couple of tomatoes and some grapes - black grapes (the best in my view!!)
On the way to band we picked up some takeaway for Tobz (schwarma, chips and salad) - I had one chip and a couple of pieces of schwarma (yummy!!).
Once I'd dropped Tobz and his friend I went to see my mum and dad - a mid-week treat for them and me - my mummy cooked me dinner :))))
We had roast lamb with boiled potatoes, cabbage and a courgette & tomato 'thing', followed buy some mixed berries. Such a treat not to have to make a meal on a week night - also no clearing away as I had to leave as soon as we'd eaten!!! And of course I did enjoy the opportunity to spend some time with my mum & dad.
When I got home I had a drink and went to bed feeling full but not bloated and it's a long time since I've been able to say that on a Monday for a while!
And today is Tuesday.........................
In my new 'determined not to cock up' mood I got up a bit earlier to make sure I had breakfast and to get my lunch ready to take to work (such a good girl!)
I also thought it might be a good idea to try something different this week and have my 'Healthy Extras' at a different time of day - this of course does require thought at 6:30am - not necessarily easy - so I reheated a portion of SW rice pudding and mixed in a banana and a strawberry yogurt. It was delicious and very filling.
I took a bottle of flavoured fizzy water to work as well as my 'food parcel' consisting of leftovers from Sunday's dinner (turkey roll with mushroom rice, broccoli and roasted veg), an orange, pack of pomegranate seeds and a box of blackberries.
I was really busy at work and had to go out to a meeting in the middle of the day, so the pom seeds & orange stayed in the fridge for tomorrow but I ate everything else and together with the water (about half the bottle) and plenty of black coffee I was stuffed (to be honest).
Tonight for dinner we had beef ribs (roasted on a grid so all fat drained off - told you I was being good) with runner beans and broccoli with vegetable rice.
Interestingly (well to me at least!!), I've had about 3 sins so far today and no HEs and I'm actually full now and other than more to drink I'm not going to have anything else to eat today.
For the last few weeks I've spent Mon/.Tues/Wed & often Thurs pseudo-dieting then being ultra good for the rest of the week which certainly accounts for my lack of progress. Today I know I've been in control of myself for two days and it feels good.
Tomorrow I'm working which will be fine and tomorrow night I'm going to see the Osmonds to relive a bit of my youth so I'll need to make sure I have something to eat before I go out - I can do this it's all in the planning :)
Will let you know how I get on - and, as always thanks for your support, comments and stamina involved in keeping on reading my meanderings - it helps more than you'll ever know :)
Love
Lxx
