Ok, this is my weekend so far,
Saturday 5.30am , eat breakfast and go to work, determined to stay on plan considering Friday was the first day i had stayed within points since WI.
8.00 am, colleague turns up and the conversation somehow turns to Maccy Ds , not hard when you consider we both used to have them for breakfast every day pre ww, but we resist....
10am and 4 hrs work later my resolve is weakening and no sooner than we mention it again i am over the road buying 3 breakfasts for us and another weak minded colleague!
Ok, not the end of the world points wise, i can make that up can't i?
Well i could if i didn't then leave off at 12 and go for a coffee with the same colleague, the coffee turned into a hot chocolate and in for a penny, i also had a slice of Banana Cake AND Cream...
Oh dear,
So i get home and try to point it all up somehow, by this time i am thinking, 'oh forget it' and eat a Crunchie!
So with all this in mind and the fact it is hubby's birthday this weekend and my daughter is away so we have the house to ourselves i decide i might as well have the weekend off.....
So he texts me to say he is on his way home from work, at that point i decide we might as well go out for dinner.
We drive out to a lovely little pub and i have sirloin steak, chips, mushrooms soaked in oil, onion rings and peas , i of course then need a desert so follow it up with Apple Pie and Ice Cream!
I have to say it was lovely and i didn't feel guilty!
Waking up this morning and wishing him a Happy Birthday i thought it would be cruel to stress about getting back on the wagon and ruining his day worrying about points so i decide to have today off too.....
Lunch was,
2 rather yummy crusty rolls with ham and cheese, a mini pork pie, a scotch egg and REAL walkers crisps, followed by not one but TWO doughnuts!
By 2.30 i am asleep on the sofa, something i haven't done for absolutely months and months but i felt awful, i was so lethargic that waking up at 4pm i decided the only thing to do was go for a bike ride.
So 10 miles and an hour of cycling later something has clicked again, i have slapped myself hard and realised i was kidding myself, i haven't had a weekend off, i have just made myself ILL!
So as i am typing this i am sat with a bottle of cold water and a packet of Rennie Deflatine's, i am so full i can't even contemplate a cup of tea so let this be a lesson to myself, treats might be nice at the time but i ultimately pay the price and i just hope i remember this next time i am tempted!

How i did it!
So many people ask me how i lost 100lb in just
over a year so i am going to tell you how here as it also makes it easier than
typing it out everytime someone asks :o)
I planned in advance, shopped
with meal plans in mind and never veered.
I tracked 100%, you have to be
honest or you are only cheating yourself.
I learnt to cook healthy family
meals so we could all eat our favourites but much healthier versions, that way i
was only cooking one meal for the family and not relying on processed
rubbish.
I started walking, not easy at the start but it gets better, a
little more than yesterday and a little less than tomorrow, before you know it,
walking is a doddle and second nature like it should be and you wonder why you
ever caught the bus/got a taxi, took the car!
I went(and still do) to
meetings every week without fail and stayed for the talk, it was 'my' time and i
still do enjoy it.
If on the rare occasion i went over my points, which was
in all honesty not ever very many, i always clawed them back, and as for events
like xmas/party's/my wedding, i got back on the wagon straight away and went
back to class to face the music, better to know than pretend you will do
something before (that rarely works)
Oh and lastly, know your weak spots,
mine was and will always be chocolate, so i pointed in a crunchie or curly
wurly, that way i had something to look forward to in the evenings.
This
is all may seem very boring and focused but it's how i did it, you only get out
what you put in, make enough changes and treat it as a way of life as opposed to
a diet and it surprisingly becomes very easy.
