Just time for a quick catch up - hope everyone's weight loss ambitions are going as well as possible - I think mine are but I am just incredibly hungry all the time & it is hard to THINK each time you put something in your mouth rather than just do it!
Last couple of days have been very busy - hence no blog & for the sceptics among you I haven't been hiding away from you I really have been very busy. In fact on Thursday, I had a small re-breakthrough moment. I call it a re-breakthrough because of course it isn't the first time Ive had it but I recognised it as one :)
Anyway back to my moment...........
I got up in enough time to have breakfast AND make my lunch to eat at work. It really doesn't take long to do and it means I can forestall the temptation to pop in somewhere on the way to work, buy lunch and, of course, some little (very fattening) extras!
I also took loads of fruit because I had an evening meeting on Thursday and wasn't sure what the food was.
This was a good move because by the time I arrived the vegetarian option was gone and all that was left was cous-cous with some decidedly uninteresting salads and, of course, the pudding (chocolate cake or cheesecake). You'll be impressed (& surprised) to know that I stuck with the uninteresting salad a cup of coffee & found someone to chat to - distracting tactics are the successful dieters secret weapon :-))
Yesterday, I went to Curves, M&S Food, the deli & back home all by 11am, as I had to get home to get dinner ready - we had visitors. Menu was designed to be SW friendly so I could eat everything so had Chicken Soup (made on Wednesday), chopped liver (fried with Fry-Light not fat), Egg & Onion (made with LF mayo), roast chicken, dry roast potatoes, cabbage, asparagus & mushrooms. All followed by fruit platter (see below) & home made ice-cream (I didn't eat that!)
Then out to collect Toby from gym & Dom from tennis (so wish he hurries up and passes his driving test!) and finally back home to lay table etc & 'breathe'
Had lovely evening with our friends - food all eaten and appreciated which is always a good sign :)
Today I've been to shul with Dom, tidied up from last night - which funnily enough Tobz & Andrew didn't find time to do do while we were out :-(
And now I'm writing to you dear friends.
I hope you are all having a good weekend - the forecast is for better weather tomorrow but I'm not holding my breath. BUT if it is nice I think we might have a BBQ or at least sit in the garden.
Bye for now
Lxx
