It was WI this morning, I wasnt holding out much hope, as monday and tuesday went awry. I had fish and chips after the cinema last night, I havent eaten them for at least a year, and you know what.....they were nothing special, I definitely wont be craving them for quite some time. I also ate bread and butter, and other various 'nasties', that should not have passed my lips at any time, let alone the night before WI. Anyway....................I stayed the same, which I can cope with, Im not pleased about it, but I can cope with it.
I am actually getting scared about dealing with eating over christmas. I must be getting obsessed, I do not want to gain a whole load of weight, I really dont. I just need to be able to stop the dreaded demons when they appear. I need a strategy and I need it fast.
On the up side, I finished work today for the christmas holidays, so I am planning a run in the morning, a really lovely walk with the dog, and who knows what else, I would really like to sort out some junk, I have a room which really needs doing!
I am off to yoga in a short while, which I am quite looking forward to, I wasnt this morning, but I am now!
I am back, I am promising to blog more regularly, especially as I finish work on wednesday for christmas, so I will have more time, and also to keep me on the straight and narrow over the festivities. I went out with the girls from work last thursday, so I have feverishly been trying to claw a few calories back by eating lightly and exercising more than I would normally. I will have to wait until wednesdays wi to see if it has worked. I am only about 5lb away from goal, and would love to get there, but with christmas around the corner, I am not going to be overly strict with myself. I do, however, want to make all that I eat, enjoyable, rather than just cramming everything in my mouth, just because I am being easier on myself. I know that doing that would just lead to disaster, I dont mind gaining a couple of pounds, but I dont want a stone escess, and I know I could put that on easily!
I have applied for another job, as a receptionist at a High School, It just seemed right up my street. Applications have to be in for tomorrow, with interviews taking place on thursday, and while it seemed so fast, I took the bull by the horns and am having a go. I may not hear anything, but at least I have tried. I really feel it is time for a change, and it just seemed to be beckoning me, so I will wait and see what happens.
I have just finished my dinner, which I really enjoyed, I had salmon, crushed roasted baby potatoes, and roasted veg, followed by stewed apple. I managed a run this morning and 2 x 30 minute doggie walks! So I am feeling pleased with myself, although I have the awkward part of the evening to get through, as it is between now and 9pm that I can fall into the snacking mode.
There is great ripples on the ww website, with the launch of the new Discovery plan. I dont confess to know much about it, only that it involves counting points, but sways you towards eating more of the foods that are currently listed on the Core plan. Being a hardened Core follower, the idea of measuring, weighing and counting does not appeal to me, so I shall be carrying on as before. I know what I am doing, Iv had great results, so I see no reason to change. I shall wait to discover more, on the discovery plan!!
Work was very quiet today, we had 9 children in, (considering there should be up to 20) and 4 staff.....where were the rest, God only knows, maybe they all went christmas shopping with their families, or illness has taken over, either way..........it was a very quiet morning. Well, I say quiet, but most of the kiddies, seem extra jumpy, no way to keep them still, could this be the morning activity of opening their advent calendars I wonder ? ?
Poor Roxy, my kitten, is feeling very sorry for herself, she was at the vets yesterday to be spayed, and I believe she is feeling a bit sore still. She is not her usual terrorising self, and oh, how I miss it! Never thought i would say that! I want the old Roxy back, pouncing on my feet and launching herself at me.
The eating plan is going well, I havent strayed yet, and it is WI tomoro, so I am hoping for a result at least, any sort of a good result will be welcome. I cant believe I was 2lb away from goal, and blew it. How stupid can I be? I am feeling quite fit at the moment, no back ache, no muscle strain...... just tickety boo.......wonder how long that will last?? I know, I shouldnt be pessimistic but it seems one thing after another at the moment.
Well, I shall go and anticipate weigh in tomorrow..........wish me luck!
