Not sure what happened to the brilliant sunshine & heat that was forecast for today but at least it means you get to hear from me pre-hospital visit rather than post - in a fairly upbeat mood rather than depressed at leaving dad in hospital for yet another day.
I know he's not well enough even for rehab yet, and most visits he can be a royal pain but he's still my dad and I HATE leaving him on his own.
This feeling has, over the past nine weeks, led me to consume large quantities of chocolate and other miscellaneous c**p at speed on the way home from the hospital. I always binge at speed - probably to 'cover my tracks' and then I can pretend it hasn't happened - but it has as the scales never lie.
I'm not going to tell you that this hasn't happened this week - I'm trying but some days just need it.......
I probably had two 'binge-fests' this week on the way home - not helped by the fact I pass a BP garage with M&S Food forecourt everyday on the way home!! I intend to drive past especially when I don't actually need petrol but somehow the voice in my head saying 'this way to all sorts of yummy things' wins out. Yesterday I had a breakthrough as although the voice was there I bought some cooked salmon and mange slices - still yummy but free-food not millions of Syns.
Over the week I haven't been too bad although I wouldn't like to say perfect. It took me until Friday to have time to do a proper supermarket shop so had some slightly odd meals.
Andrew BBQ'd twice and that was excellent as it was steak & burgers with a big mixed salad - he needs to lose a few pounds so is existing on protein and veg just now - not terribly healthy but then he won't be doing it for long.
However since Friday things have been better & yesterday I had an exemplary day :-) which included my favourite weekend breakfast
Anyway that's all for now.
I'll check in tomorrow after weigh-in to let you know how I got on.
Have a good day
Lisa xx
