Survived another night out without too much of a slip up.....

So I had a copy of this fat picture in my wallet so everytime I bought a drink I saw Mrs Blobby. I also took my car to avoid the lure of real ale. My other plans went slightly wrong but it wasn't my fault guv.

PLAN A - HAVE CLEAR SOUP FOR STARTER WHILST OTHERS HAVING GREASY PRAWN TOAST ETC - PLAN FAILED. Failed as this buffet did not have soup lol. Instead made a tiny weeny duck pancake last by packing it out with lots of strips of cucumber. Entered into witty banter with my dinner friends whilst I put down my knife and fork down and enjoyed each mouthful.

PLAN B - ONLY GO TO BUFFET ONCE. unfortunately the queueing part was one of the most sociable bits; we were a large party and it was the only time you got to speak to other people around the table. So I used a side plate and each time I went up I just had a spoonful of one meal....and looked for teh none battered one. I also asked for a small portion of boiled rice as I was on a low fat diet and they obliged quite happily.

there was also a chocolate fountain ......which again was a social focus....ARRRRGGGHHHH





But I was good...one marshmallow dipped in choc to join in general hilarity whilst people trying to work out how to use fountain and then just had the fruit and did not dip it :o). No one noticed.

My diet Saboteur was also present and true to form all the way through I had 'oh tell me you are not dieting tonight...its only one night, you look fine as you are'...... 'oh glad to see you are not dieting ooo you should have one of these great big fried mushrooms ' but the little portions and frequent visits to buffet bar had her fooled lol.

she also berated me for bringing my car and not drinking but was ever so grateful for the lift home lol. Why do friends do this ??????

Keep the faith folks we can do this :o)

Today I am mainly loving the scales :o)

Well I have been to fat club and am thouroughly chuffed with myself lol.

I have, if you haven't already read my posts on FB lost andother lb and a half...so that is 10lbs total since 21st December. I am so happy I could yell from the highest mountain lol.

So I am eating better and exercising a little more, and don't tell anyone but at the moment I am not finding it too difficult.

I am enjoying eating different food, and my ww friends are helping me with my exercise making me go out walking in the dark after work *chuckle*. Mind you at least it gives us chance to have a gossip. Tonight I am digging out my exercise DVDs including good old mr motivator 10 min workouts...my plan is to try and slip some exercise in every other day even if its only 10 minutes (and with my schedule at the moment it probably will be only ten minutes.)

So now all that is sorted........ my only worry is ........excess skin lol.

These boots were made for walking ........

well its the 3rd weigh in of the new year tomorrow.....and tonight I have been walking with two of my weightwatchers pals :o)

4.9 miles in 90 minutes.....it wasn't too bad pounding the streets but now I have been at home a bit my legs definately feel like they have been walking for an hour and a half. Catching up with the girls for a gossip was good. Normally we only see each other at weigh in and as we are all clerks at the meeting, it can be harding really finding out what is happening for everyone. Its got me thinking about thhis exercise lark though.

As I walked back to sues where I had left my car, yes I felt a bit tired but most of all I felt exhilirated. The appointment for a walk had ensured I left work at a reasonable time, the fresh air had woken me up , and I hadn't swapped my PC at work for my PC at home so I had given my eyes and my hands a break. :o).

Well time for a well earned bath and earlyish night....weigh in tomorrow night...hope I at least STS but really want a lb loss if at all possible ....

Friends, family and boyfriends :o)

I am so lucky :o)

This week Keith has managed to renovate my bathroom and fit my stair carpet, I have spent a great weekend with my family going to the theatre and to see anton and erin in their 'stepping out' show. It was a great weekend!!! And my friends are just amazing as always :o)

Food this week has been a little erratic although I am getting better at tracking online. This weekend I was at home so a bit out of control as my mum was cooking for me, but bless her she realises I am really trying with my losses so she made weightwatchers oriental salmon and asked about portion sizes.

I managed my eating at the theatre too.....I had one humbug at the dancing , I was mesmorised by the sparkly outfits...you know me and shiny things lol. THe woman in black was one of those scary things you just eat without realising but I pointed a portion controlled bag of sports mixtures so it was all good.

I pulled up some fat pics from my folks computer from my holiday in spetember to scare me into staying on track.

Essay demons

Today I have started on fast start. The food has been great and really tasty.
The only prblem is I have essay crisis and this is when I get the nibblies... I am chopping up veg and stuff so I have no point options but the draw of choc from the corner shop is so strong....what with that and the diet coke calling and I keep thinking to myself it is bad for my health to drink diet coke......arrrrggghhhh demons :o)

I keep staring at a blank page thinking gtime is running out but I just can't get my bottom in gear and keep dreaming of chocolate lol.

Anyway I have managed to be good. The photo above is from the trip Keith and I took to london at the weekend, we went to see Sister act :o) it was great, but my weight increase meant that my knees were killing me by the end of the day (we left at 5am and we got home at 10pm!!! so bonus points there then). Keith is being really supportive of my decision to lose weight again.

Well best get back to the essay not writing itself. :o)
