I bought some Weight Watchers Gingernut Biscuits last week and put them in my drawer so that I could nibble on those instead of the other biscuits that are at work. Unfortunately I had a bit of a blow-out on them, so now there's none left!
I needed a nap after I'd picked Alana up from School and done the shopping, and then slept right through till morning, so I missed dinner!

Well I thought I was doing okay until I re-read the Weight Watchers Magazine and realised that the Light meal was in fact lunch!! Why didn't they just write the word lunch instead of confusing me!!
Anyway I totally slipped up when I got home. I did only put a small portion of pasta on my plate, but I'd bought some bread rolls for my daughter and they were very fresh and smelt very yummy, so I succumbed to one.
Have no idea how many points I've done today. Can anyone help me out?

It felt really good running today. I wasn't sure how long I could run for as I haven't done it for over a week, so being able to run 50 mins in one go was great.
So do I make today the start of my WW plan, or do I wait until my friends from the UK leave (on Monday) and then start afresh. I'm off to Grape Grazing on Saturday, so I know that copious amounts of alcohol will be drunk, and I'm also going to the footy on Sunday evening to see Essendon destroy Carlton, so more alcohol me thinks!!

Lunch: Iced Coffee BOOST Smoothie, Strawberry Crumble Yoghurt
Dinner: 2 x Home Made Mini Hawaiian Pizzas, Grapes
Okay I've decided to look at Weight Watchers. I actually bought the latest WW Magazine today and the 7 day plan looked really good, and seems to be very easy to follow (easy is my middle name!!).
I've also had a quick look at the website and there are alot of nice looking menus to choose from, so I'm going to write out a 7 day plan that suits my taste as I'm very fussy when it comes to food - see here for more info on how fussy I really am.
Hopefully by sticking to a plan and knowing how many "Points" I'm supposed to be eating will keep my eating habits in line. I really want to lose this 6kg of excess, and I've seen so many amazing results with people using WW that I'm hoping that it works for me too. Let's see shall we!!

While I was doing my weights at the gym this morning, I was looking in the mirrors (like you do!) and decided that I looked quite slim. Then once back home, after shower, I put my clothes on, look in the mirror and looked frumpy and podgy!! Why is this? Are the mirrors in the gym modified somehow to make us look slimmer?
Still can't stop eating. I'm considering going back to Low Carbing. At least I pretty much stuck to that type of eating, knowing that if I ate anything off plan, it would hit me straight away. Just not sure if I can give up the Pasta and Bread again!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!
I tried desparately not to eat biscuits today, but my body just craved sweet stuff. I was really full after lunch but an hour or so later I just wanted to eat food again. All that was available was biscuits! If I'd had anything else to hand, I would have eaten that too!
Dinner was lovely apart from the Kit Kat. I've tried all the different varieties and just wanted to find out what this one tasted like. At least I only ate half of it (hubby ate the other half).

Still have this raging appetite. Not sure what to do about it as it's really playing havoc with my thought process (and my weight). Can't seem to stop the urge to put food in my mouth.
Has anyone tried taking an appetite suppressant pill? Do they work? Are they worth the money?

I think there's something wrong with me!! I cannot say no to Alcohol. I get asked if I want a drink, and the answer is always YES!! That's not to say I'm an alcoholic, as I don't have to have a drink every day, but when asked, I always want one!.....maybe not at 8.30 in the morning though!
Food - not too good, apart from the pizzas which were delish - found the recipe in this month's Women's Fitness magazine. Really easy to make and not that bad on calorie/fat intake.

Feeling very lethargic today, even though I got a full 7 hours sleep. Berocca may help.
I know it's probably the food that I'm eating that's making me feel lethargic and I've got to look at planning my meals better and having them made up and frozen so that I have something quick and easy to eat, otherwise I just go for the easy junky option (mainly bread!) and I really want to cut down on that if I can. Need to add more veggies to my meals too. It's never easy is it!!

Morning Tea: Grapes, Banana Chips
Lunch: Iced Coffee BOOST Smoothie, Packet Choc Bullets
Dinner: Chicken Carbonara with Bacon Tortolleni, Small Serve Herb Foccacia, 2 Glasses Champagne, 1 JD & Diet Coke, King Size Cherry Ripe
How is that I can have a real boozy weekend with tons of food and no exercise and only put on a kilo, yet when I get back to eating and exercising normally (apart from the Bullets) I keep adding on weight?
I have a horrible suspicion that it's the Jack Daniels that's doing it. I only drank champagne on the weekend yet I've been drinking JD this week. Okay, that's enough of that then!
Spoke too soon!! Went out for dinner at a lovely Pub near Mt Evelyn. Belly very full when I walked out (or waddled out!!). JD handed to me when I got into the house...how could I say no??
Another downfall....once I've had a couple of drinks I get the munchies. Cherry Ripe looked good! Not good on already full belly!

I had a crap nights sleep last night, so I had no real motivation at the gym this morning. I really wanted to run but didn't have enough energy, so ended up lifting some weights instead. Muscles now feeling it!
Okay, I've had enough BBQ stuff now. Really fancy something plain like Spag Bol or Soup, but when you've got guests staying it's not very hostessy if I offered them soup and bread!! And they are low carb people too so everything they eat is fatty!!

Did not want to get out of bed this morning, but my body is now so used to getting up at 5.45 that it didn't take too much arguing with myself to get out of the bed! Just had to remind myself of the amount of food and alcohol that I consumed over the weekend....that did it!
But then I go and stuff just as much food into my gob today!!

Dinner: 1 piece of Low Fat Cheese, 2 Glasses JD & Diet Coke
Felt really lethargic all day....my own fault! The pasta was lovely but I can't remember what it was! The muffin was just what I needed on the 54th Floor of the Rialto (great view too).
No more alcohol...no more alcohol - will keep repeating this until it sinks in!!

That was a great night out, but unfortunately the food wasn't part of my diet intake (alcohol probably not either!!).
I had the munchies really badly on the way back from the Casino, so we stopped at McDonalds and I got a McFlurry (heaven). Amazing how many people were in McD's at that time of the morning!

Another big day with food and alcohol. I could have had the Chicken Ceaser Salad at Sofias, but I decided on the pizza (I was starving). Eyes definitely bigger than belly!! (although the belly's pretty big too).

Yes, Yes, Yes. I'm under 10 stone....so it's probably only because I'm dehydrated from the amount of alcohol I drank yesterday, but I'ts still put a smile on my face!!
My friends are over from England so I'm not really bothering with what I'm eating (or drinking) at the moment.
I'm going to try and carry on going to the gym while they're here to counteract at least a little bit of the overindulgances!!
