Well, it could have all gone horribly pear shaped today, as after realising I had forgotten to organise the on-line shopping yet again, and we had little in the way of grub in the house, I soldiered on starting with a healthy breakfast of porridge, and packed an apple, a banana and some watermelon for snacks. I was thinking that as a one off, I could go to the cafe below my office, and nab a baked potato with some beans all allowed on SW.Anyhoo, at 1.30pm, after a morning of number crunching (when did I go back to working in an accounts department?), I decided to take a breather to go and grab my much looked forward to spud, when a reminder popped up on my calendar, telling me I needed to be half an hour away .........NOW!
I rushed over to the office, sat in a meeting, with nothing much but food on my mind (and obviously the very interesting and informative meeting if you're reading Lauren :-) ). Unfortunately when I'm on any type of 'the D word' or healthy eating plan, I am always looking forward to the next meal, because I have planned it, and it's how I get through the day. So when I didn't get it, I kind of panicked. Panic usually leads to vending machines stocked with crisps and chocolate in my experience.
I ate one sweet at the meeting (normally would tread the fine line between stuffing them down my neck, and eating what is acceptable in polite company), and then I drove past McDonalds and went to Tesco's to get a salad and some chicken. I ate it like I was starved ........I was, I'm not used to that gnawing feeling in my belly....what's that you say? Ohhhhhhh, that's what hunger feels like!
Anyway crisis averted, I came home, did a bit of work, then made a healthy pasta creation, so that I am prepared for tomorrow, and any senior type moments I may have!
Am really hoping for at least 1.5lbs loss this week, that will take me over the 1/2 stone mark then, fingers crossed folks. x
