I have to admit I was a little disappointed when I got on the scales. 1.5lbs off. I think I was hoping for 4lbs.
However I soon got over it when I put it into perspective. I had lost, that's good! Also, if I lost a pound every week before we go to Orlando that's 2 stone! So that's half a pound banked for Christmas excesses...
I should say my loss really spurred me on today, well it did to a point. It started well. Shake for breakfast, cycled to work, shake for lunch, fruit snacks, cycled home, then I opened the front door and that's when it happened. On the mat was an envelope, a slightly weighty envelope. It contained a bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk!
Some time ago I filled out a survey and as a thank you they said they would send chocolate. They had my full attention, I'll do anything for chocolate. I have to admit I ate it. I'd just cycled home, I deserved it right?! In my defence it was only a child's 110g bar so only just over for my 3rd snack!
Now for another confession... I had a piece of chocolate birthday cake this evening too. I should have just said no thanks but my willpower still needs some work as you can tell. But I did have a healthy evening meal!
So back to it tomorrow. No more chocolate or cake, unless it is fewer than 100cals and I can count it as a snack!
I might just do some more Orlando research to spur me on for another 1.5lbs loss!
