Ok so I only lost a 1/4lb this week, but even though that is the smallest loss I can record I am, for the first time, actually happy with it! Why? Because I was sure I was going to put on.
I had a really good week right up until Friday when we decided to go to the Cinema.
Instead of planning ahead and getting some portion controlled, diet friendly snacks, what did I do? I got pick and mix from the cinema! I was like a kid in a sweet shop. Bit of this, a few of those, ooh what's that, still some space, lets top it up with some smarties!
Lord knows how many calories that £3.50 cup contained. I did exercise some self control. When I was feeling slightly overloaded I did stop!
This was the first time that I have bought sweets in a cinema for years and I blame my other half. He was having popcorn, which I can't stand, and it actually cost more! He did pay for mine though, he's thoughtful like that (so I let him have a few, it's only right).
The next day I went ahead with FitSteps (which I blogged about last) but when I got back that cup was on the side and the little voice in my head was telling me 'go on, you just did a crazy 15min flat out work out in front of the whole city, you deserve them!' So I polished them off :-(
I knew I shouldn't. I knew it would ruin my weight loss, but what can I say? I love food and I won't be doing that again for a very long time, buying pick and mix that is, sweets and cinema are still on the menu, just more portion controlled! This week I will do better. Menu planned, food ordered and sweets capped.
By the way, if you are wondering what we watched, it was Lucy. I really enjoyed it, even though it was a bit odd towards the end!
