I thought I'd start the New Year as I mean to go on by blogging even when I feel blah. For some reason despite the limited alcohol (3 glasses of wine) I feel a bit flunky today so cooking is of the agenda today and a chinese has been ordered (may go over my syns a bit now). Nevertheless my home scales are showing a loss for tomorrow so I will be happy with that. I am also back to work tomorrow which I find easier as don't have time to snack or get obsessed about bad food. It's amazing how hard it is to battle the demon when he/she wants junk food. I don't think its a battle I will ever win fully but I aim to get a handle on it this year.
So new year fresh start, I faffed so much with the plan in my first year so I have decided to use my new book to log my weigh in's and getting back into the exercise routine which again will be easier as I have a 20 minute walk twice a day to and from the car and work and then walk Doug when I get home. I also think I need a bit of a batch cook session soon so when the deadly lazyitus strikes we have stuff that involves no thought.
So onto the food for the past two days, I forgot to take a picture of my breakfast yesterday morning and I remembered once I had eaten everything and you don't want to see an empty plate! I had a linda mccartney rosemary and red onion sausage with my little pony spaghetti shapes and mushrooms....a lot of mushrooms!
I was doing extra easy yesterday and this may have been why I snacked on rubbish as the day wore on as I didn't have my double healthy extras to assist. For lunch I had leek and potato soup with two slices of nimble followed by fruit and yoghurt.
Me and Rich had planned to have a nice dinner of steak and chips whilst watching comedy DVD's we watched the glorious Michael McIntyre and Sarah Millican which was good entertainment.
The next pictures will show you where it started to change.....
Onto today, we woke up at 10 but other then letting Doug out we were being lazy and I stayed wrapped up watching the rest of the smallville season finale before I decided to get up and be productive. I cleaned up the kitchen and dyed my hair before I even thought about food. I started with a coffee until I decided whether I was hungry.
So with 2012 done and dusted and a desire to actually succeed on slimming world I need to refocus my head and make sure I don't let little slips escalate. This has just been posted up on facebook and is very appropriate
well done on drawing a line under 2012, Im with ya on focusing on half a stone at a time.
ReplyDeleteIm with you in drawing that line Karen :)
ReplyDeleteI do EE every day, and i must say i do find it extra easy. I eat what i want when i want. For example, rather than have a freddo and a mini mars, you'd actually be better off having a full on English brekkie as it can all be free on EE (provided you cut off the fat from the bacon, no butter etc).
Also, you can make your own crisps! Simply use a potato peeler to get extra thin potato slices (or use carrots or other veg if you like veggie crips), spray with fry light and roast on low for a good 20-25 minutes or until crisp and golden - that way you can have as much as you like and can be free on EE. simply flavour with some dry herbs, salt or even use the BBQ fry light!
This is a new year, and now you have drawn a line under 2012 can be the start of a new you! See you later, Katie xXx
Thanks for your comments girls xx
