I was good but it was oh so hard!

[*jenjen*]

Morning everyone!

How are you all doing? Hope you have had a good weekend and are enjoying your Sunday morning.

Yesterday I went to a BBQ... and I didn't cheat one bit... but oh it was really, really hard! I had a piece of grilled chicken breast that was then put on the BBQ, salad and then a piece of BBQ pineapple. And I resisted the chocolate birthday cake, crips, sausage rolls, BBQ wings... right I'm going to stop now because there was that much good food there, thinking about it again is starting to make my mouth water. I haven't seen so much food!lol

I didn't drink, it helped me stay strong thank goodness. I just drank water - I really upped my water intake yesterday, trying to make myself full to stay away from the food!lol

So I feel good today. Its the first time that I have never cracked on a diet at such a thing. Mainly because I knew that if I did I would have had the dreaded side effects!lol

I'm going to go swimming today For the first time (apart from cool down holiday pool time) in years. xxx

Wow well done you

That was brillant. I love BBQs - to go to one now would kill me lol.

We'll be those beach babes on our hols next year hun

I love BBQ's too - I'm proud of myself!lol

Oh we will be, we definitely will be beach babes!


Just back from swimming - I did 12 laps of the swimming pool, 4 breast stroke, 4 front crawl and 4 backstroke... I'm so pleased with myself, I didn't think I would be able to do it, I didn't think I was that good a swimmer but I got a really nice compliment from another lady who was swimming, she said I made it look really easy.

Its funny how random people, without realising it, and who you don't know and may never meet again, can really make your day.
