Hey girls,
Yesterday went so well. It was a lovely send off for a lovely man, and the weather was beautiful
My Gramps would have been proud.
I have found comfort in the fact that my Gramps is no longer in pain, and is finally with my Nana xxx
Diet wise - WELL!!!
I stuck too plan ALL day long, as soon as we got to the pub I had my bar and 1 coke zero, this was at 12.30 in the afternoon! I thought we would have left the pub by 4pm latest, that didn't happen!! I was surrounded by free alcohol and a huge buffet of all sorts of snacks and didn't touch a single thing. As the hours went by, I watched everyone get merry, and eating. Then it got to 6pm and I was STARVING!! I kept telling my Mum I wanted/needed too leave, but by this point she was drunk as well as everyone else in the family! Then it got to 7pm and I was moody!! All day people had been telling me to have a drink/ have something to eat and I hadn't, but oh my life I was starving!! My Godmother said she wanted to take me and my Mum for a meal, obviously I was reluctant, but she carried on. Finally got my Mum into a cab at nearly 8pm, and she agree's with my Godmother that they should go for a meal to end the day off nicely.....
We ended up stopping in Waterloo and going into this Italian restaurant! Oh my life, the food in there was so expensive and looked divine!!
Soooooo, because I was starving ( half hearted excuse ) I decided too eat something!!! Ahhhhh I could slap myself!! All I could think was - I've sat in that pub all day long, not had a drink, nor picked from the buffet, why couldn't I wait an extra 20 mins too get in and have a shake!!
Now, hear comes the food part....
My Mum and Irene ( Godmother ) ordered their starters - 2 prawn cocktails!! I didn't have a starter, I had half a slice of soda bread with a bit of butter. Then had a couple of my Mum's prawns!!
Main course - They ordered veil, which came with Vegatables.
I had a chicken breast, with avocado and bacon! I Got through about half of the chicken breast and couldn't eat another thing!! I did order a glass of rose - but didn't drink it!! I just left it on the table.
They had deserts, I didn't!
So that was me!! I broke my diet!! I don't feel too bad for it, my Mum and Irene kept praising me and saying how well I had done so far and that I shouldn't beat myself up about it. I think they are right!! I do feel a little guilty, but there's no point moaning about it because it's done!! The whole meal came too over £150 - I couldn't believe it!!
I decided too walk home, to try and repair some of the damage!! Walked into a shop on the way back to grab a water and stood looking at the crisp and chocolate and just thought - no way!! I was stuffed and didn't want them! That's a break through for me, for sure!! 8 weeks ago, i would have walked out the shop with a bag full of crisps and chocolate - even after just having been for a meal. So was quite proud of myself for that
Anyway, weighed myself this morning and i am 2lbs up - Back too 11st 1lb!! Not too fussed! I have been cleaning and hoovering all day long, hoping too repair some of the damage!
I am fully back on plan now without a second thought! I have decided to have 3 shakes today, so I sort of have an extra bar - I've stuck that in my bag and will keep it in there in case of emergency!!
Lesson learnt the hard way, but definitely felt like I have accomplished something when I didn't go for the crisps and chocolate in the shop!
Right, I'm off to do my 2nd shake of the day!! No more slip ups now. Hopefully those 2lbs plus maybe an extra 1lb will be gone by saturday - here's too hoping anyway!!
