Days 113 -120 (2012) - still struggling

Hi All

Well I don't know if it's the constant rain, the fat gene, the trials of being a Leeds United fan or my general lack of willpower but another week has gone by and I'm pretty certain that the result will be the same - lack of progress & definitely 'could do better' if not 'MUST do better'.

I started off really well.
Went to weigh on Monday & put on half - was about right - I did the weighing at class which I really enjoyed, even though I got told off for talking too much (surprised???) and actually left feeling really motivated. Got through the day without my 'post weigh in splurge' and restricted myself to 15 syns.

Tuesday, had lots of meetings & was in and out of the office.....

Have to say just been out for a walk with Andrew - avoided the rain & walked 2.5k in 33 mins (good for me) in prep for my sponsored 5k on 20th May. Really pleased as don't feel too puffed out & I went to Curves this morning too :0)

So back to Tuesday - I had a quick Mug Shot for lunch but I also had several very small (but very calorific) Millionaire Shortbreads that my work colleague brought in cos it was her birthday. This demonstrates my extreme lack of self control - I'm not even sure I like them that much.
In the evening I went to see mum & dad and to see a friend who's dad died. Mum made me dinner - roast beef, roast onions, new pots and broccoli - dessert was defrosted frozen cherries. Completely tasteless so wouldn't recommend them!!

Wednesday I had a conference - was as good as possible. Avoided pastries, cakes, creamy desserts etc all day drank lots of water & black coffee. Went out in evening but grilled lamb chops with crushed new potatoes and green beans for dinner first.

Thursday I was in the office no day - no meetings - so I took leftovers from dinner to reheat as well as plenty of fruit & water and.........the remaining millionaires shortbread (at least they'll be none left on Tuesday!). And it went downhill from there - filled up car with petrol & me with chocolate. To be honest I ate so much so fast I cant remember what I had but I felt really sick afterwards - STUPID GIRL
Thursday night I didn't eat dinner (felt sick) so drank lots of water - also did lots of cooking for visitors on Friday.

Friday I went to Curves & worked very hard as I did my advantage workout - just means someone counted & recorded my reps. So good as I worked really hard & I now have a little card which tells me how many I need to do.
Had coffee & a pear at a friend, did some paperwork at home & generally got ready for evening meal.
We had chopped liver (all frying done with fry light so syn free) and egg & onion (light mayo so about 1.5syn per portion), followed by chicken soup with lots of veg and lokshen, kneidel and kreplach (pasta with mince), then roast chicken, dry roast potatoes, ratatouille and broccoli. Huge fruit platter for dessert (homemade choc mousse and/or honey & banana ice cream for guests)
I didn't do too badly but I did lick the chocolate mousse serving spoon while I was clearing up - dread to think how many syns were on it!!!

Yesterday, I was very good all day - no slip ups & in the evening went to 'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen' - lovely film, highly recommend it :)

Today I've been to Curves and burned 483 cals (most ever!) as well as my walk (see above) and have been good but tonight we are going to Cafe Rouge to eat with A's parents (just back from their holiday) - hate going out to eat on Sunday night but I'll have to do my best.

I'm sure I've put on again this week & I deserve to.

I must re-start blogging more often because I used to be more conscious about what I was eating as I'd have to blog it and you'd know so that will be this week's target - 3 or more blogs - hope you wont get bored although please don't feel obliged to read as my lack of progress must be very frustrating - it certainly frustrates me :)

Hope you've had a good weekend.

Love to all
