Every day brings its own challenge.......




Yay its saturday!!!!!


I am very tired today but I have loads to do :(.










There are lessons to be learnt tho, yesterday despite staying within my points I ate rubbish (hence feeling yuk today !!!! I don't think I ate any real food yesterday just convenience snacks and a handful of strawberries and grapes!!! I will not be doing that again, I have a snack hangover.
















This morning I have to be a domestic goddess and reclaim my house for the arrival of Mr S.I also need to go shopping and buy some food as my fridge is bare (apart from two half bottles of wine and a pack of half fat butter!!)




This afternoon I am going to hit the books and do more of my essay ...this is beginning to feel like walking up mount everest carrying the entirity of my ww class....nigh on impossible !!!





Then Mr S arrives :). We are going to go and see HP the last one......CINEMA arrrgghhhh scary expensive place with lots of lovely temptations such as ice cream, popcorn, chocolate, pick and mix sweets...the list is endless. What to do ??? Think I may give Mr S the money for my ticket and leave my wallet at home to avoid the temptation of the snack bar.









How does anyone else survive the cinema?? I may have to put a fat bride pic in my wallet to help me avoid temptation my old fat pic used to work.

New experiences and walking tall......





Well yesterday went well pointing wise.



I had a new experience with Sushi ( not the raw fish kind, the vegetable and tuna kind lol). I really liked it but I was surprised how many points it was when I finally got around to pointing it. Mind you I also was pleasanty surprised how full I was afterwards. My work colleagues and I talked about going to a sushi bar in Leeds to try sushi for real (rather than the Tescos version we had consumed) the weird thing is, normally I would have anxiety butterflies with any talk of eating out, but yesterday I just felt calm and composed and thought, yeah sushi isn't bad as an eating out choice.



I also earnt 6 activity points yesterday, just from walking. Within my day I walked to the local shop and back, where I would normally have used my car. The shop is of the distance where it is convenient to use the car but likewise it is walkable if you have the time and can be bothered. I am going to try and keep up this type of 'hidden exercise'.




I am also keeping up with listening to my weight loss CD, (welll last night I only listened to one half of it before dropping off) not sure it is working as I am still snacking on naughty stuff (pointed tho) at work, but on the other hand, walked around supermarket last and put no naughties in my basket...so maybe it is....watch this space.




I am not particularly liking this muggy weather ( although it is making me drink proper amounts of water). I am really tired all the time, and having to push myself to do anything, but what I am doing is pushing myself to incorporate at least 1 activity point a day. I am also doing my 5 day week this week at work...shock to the system ( I work a 9 day fortnight and in term time I only work 4 long days a week. ). Anyway must get off to work......
