I'm back Had a really cool time at Crufts again this year. Next year we're definitely going for two days
Food wise I think I was quite good. I made a huge tuna pasta salad to take with me, so I didn't have to buy sandwiches while I was there and I had fruit, yogurt, and toast for breakfast on the train. For our meals out we chose Wagamama's over a Chinese buffet and a Japanese restaurant (we had Bento boxes!!) over a Pizza Hut buffet. Ok, I did have a few naughty things-a flapjack, a Tiffin slice, and some Fox's sweeties, but I think overall I did pretty well while away. Plus we did a hell of a lot of walking and carrying heavy things.
Yesterday however I was feeling really down and just desperately wanted pizza And I'm ashamed to admit it, but I caved in and I made a pizza buffet for me and my sister. We had pizza, pasta and sauce, chips, salad, and garlic bread. I did eat far too much and I had some beer and cider, but I really did enjoy it and I hadn't had a meal like that since Xmas/New Year. I know I'm almost certain to have a bit of a gain this week, but I hope it's not too bad. And I did have a very healthy lunch of fruit salad, yogurt, and Alpen Light bars
Today I'm not gonna count syns, but for lunch I had Weetabix, banana, blueberries, raisins, and honey. Tonight will be Quorn steak with roasties, gravy, and lots of veg. And a slice of Mother's Day chocolate cake.
Will definitely be fully back on the SW wagon from tomorrow. I even bought a new notebook while I was away for my written syn and Healthy Extra diary I like to keep

ETA: Exercise for today was two dog walks.
35mins with Ellie. And 1hr15mins with Davey. Walking up and down lots of hills with Dave!

Had a bit of a jolt to the brain today. My friend has told me we will be shopping for my bridesmaid dress in January. Eeeeeeeeeeep!!! Really not sure I can get to my target by then as I'm such a slow loser and no doubt Christmas, New Year and my birthday will pile a few pounds on again :cry: I think it will help to jump-start my motivation. Not that I've been too bad lately, but I could do with adding in a bit more exercise. I know I do a hell of a lot of walking, but I could do with trying to fit in some Wii Fit and Just Dance again. Hope I can do it! I really, really don't want to be a fat bridesmaid
