Hi guys, hope you are all well.

My week wasn't brilliant, in fact, on Wednesday I had a melt down. I ate healthily for a few hours, but then I fancied something nice.  Recognising the danger signs I ate some strawberries and some apples which didn't work. 

I was craving big time, so I ate a couple of snack a jacks and some pink and whites, but no, I still wasn't satisfied. Then suddenly, I had a brain freeze and forgot that sweets, cakes and biscuits are ok in moderation but not when you eat:

A Crunchie bar

A chocolate ice-cream

Biscuits

A piece of coffee cake 

Another crunchie ( because they were under 200

                                calories each, I thought that 

                                 was cool.)

All in ten minutes or less.

You're joking I hear you say, and I'll reply by saying NO I'M NOT! 

You might then ask, did I feel guilty and I will say boldly. NO! NO! NO! Which really means, yes a bit, but it's too late, it happened and I had to move on. 

So, I started back on my healthy eating plan, hoping that only being naughty for one day, I mean ten minutes, wouldn't mean I'd ruined it for the week.

I expect you realise I'm a bit miffed

As you can imagine, when I got up this morning, I was hoping that I would at least stay the same weight. 

It was a great meeting at Slimming Club this morning, we had a good laugh and we all left a  part of us in the room. We got to know each other a little better which is cool. That's the good thing about going to a meeting, we're all in the same postion and we all understand how hard it is to stay on plan. 

Now, what I'm about to divulge to you may not seem important to many people, but for me, a couch potato, it is. I've decided to do at least ten minutes exercise a day. Which means, I'll be walking around the house for ten minutes. I'm giggling now because I realise how silly that sounds. lol

If I go shopping, I'll count walking around the shops as the ten minutes. 

After a couple of weeks of that, I might start walking up and down the stairs more often. I SAID I MIGHT!

Ok, and now for the important bit.

Weight last week: 13 stone and five pounds.

Weight this week: 13 stone and four pounds

Weight loss:             1 pound. YES. YES. YES.

Total loss:              One stone and nine pounds or

                               23 pounds.

This is equivalent to:

The amount of pizza an average American eats in a year. 

348 roses, not sure if that's just the petals or the whole plant lol.

4 Chihuahua's

Just over 2 gallons of paint.

Tip of the week

If you have a bad day, get back on your healthy eating plan and it may not be as bad as you think. If it is, it's not the end of the world, forget it and start afresh the next day. After all, we're only human. 

Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you all have a really healthy week and if you have to have an ice-cream, take a look at the sins and calories and try and make the right decision.

A Fab lolly is 82 calories or 4 sins.

A Magnum is 11-13 sins or 275 calories.

( other ice-creams available)

You can in fact include either of these ice-creams in your diet. It's up to you how many of your calories or sins you want to use. We can still choose what we want to eat.
