Do a little dance!
Hello All,
Sorry not been around - in London all week at Earls Court and only just now had a minute to log on personally.
Okay....so on week 2...and Monday night I bought myself pre-made salad and a pack of pre-cooked chicken, some no fat salad vinegarette and a sweet pepper to make my dinner. Have had these all but last night (and may I say SCRUMMY!)
So last night am invited out with my bosses boss with some of her ex-colleagues to a pub in Hammersmith.
I order that chicken salad after asking what was in it, and thinking I could eat around the tomatoes and onions and have the mixed leaves and spinach.
NO. They didn't mention the grated carrot, beetroot, red onion that were so mixed in that you couldn't even SEE any kind of leaf!
So...I have it. It was late, I was basically stuck until my boss wanted to go (as I am skint and had no money for a taxi - which we ended up getting at 1am!).
I just need some comfirmation that it isn't the end of the world!
I kind of did it myself last night by getting in and having my yoghurt and jelly as I had planned earlier in the day. I thought it was too late to have my last pack..but I wanted to have the jelly to say to myself that it was okay and I will not put on 4 stone after having carrot and beetroot 3 weeks early...but please just help reinforce it.
Plus...I think due to the fact I put on half a pound in week one, I'm terrified that I've effed up week two as well...and even though its my FIRST time out of the rules its an indicator that I haven't learnt anything.
I've spent years saying I was just meant to be fat..and I'm terrified now that maybe I was right. Crooked thinking? ME THINKS SO!
Also - I had about 3 pints of diet coke there *hangs head in shame*. There was peer pressure there...as I would have probably had one and then water - but these were city boys that drunk 7 pints in 3 hours and already looked down on me for not drinking alcohol. This is something I HAVE TO WORK ON..but I am awatre! I know there are people on here that hate the stuff, and think its the devil, but when I am out I SOMETIMES want something different to water, and I didn't have my fruits of the forest. YES I'm giving excuses...but the good news is after having 3 I now don't want it a great deal...I will MOSTLY just stick with water and have possibly one a week at my pubs quiz because I would like to.
Hmmm.
On the plus I've been on my feet all week...walked a mile every day to my hotel and back, and also before the fateful salad last night I have walked from South Kensington to Hammersmith...not sure how far but still a distance.
Thanks guys!
