I am pleased to report that this weight management stuff is getting a bit easier - I still need the props - food diary and pedometer - but happy to lean on those for a little while until I get a bit smarter and I can trust myself more. I do really want to lose weight and I can picture the slimmer Audrey but I realise how easily I could slip back into eating far too many sweet things.
Today was interesting - I sent my apologies to the Friday weigh in session since I was on the site closer to home so I could work from 8 - 12 before my half days leave. So I started the day with toast and on the journey to Buckingham was a bit hungry so started to imagine what food we could eat once we stopped. I resisted the temptation to stop at the services because I just knew I would want a cake! Then when we got to Alex at 2pm we were all hungry and keen to find somewhere to eat. So we went into the town centre and the tea rooms where Robert and Alex had a baked potato and I had soup and bread.....lovely and satisfying. Then I found myself at the cake counter admiring about 10 choices at least of cakes with my favourites there.....I bought one for Alex and one for Robert - victory!!
So this evening we went off to Canary Wharf Nando's and I enjoyed a chicken wrap with pineapple - no chips and no sides - again victory - how nice the chips looked but I was quite satisfied with my wrap. Finally we went into Waitrose which was stacked high with chocolates, eggs, bunnies and everything looked so good - Alex bought chocolates (well I paid for them but she picked them up!!) and I had one at home and counted 80 cals for that treat - today I am under my 1600 calories which is great - finished the evening off with a cider lolly at 60 calories - so after a successful day I intent enjoying tomorrow. I have done 750 steps too despite my time in the car and tomorrow I will make Alex walk with me.
