The 'staying at home' syndrome
So after my succsess yesterday, I decided a little treat was in order and got myself a chinese that was within my WW points. However as a sufferer of IBS (or potentially IBD) it was a fatal mistake- and I was up all night with cramps and vomiting..NICE!
So after taking the day off working, and sleeping it off I woke up at 1pm HUNGRY! So i did the right thing, and had breakfast which was:
Breakfast: Small bowl of cheerios, muller light yogurt, muller vitality drink and special k mini breaks, for a filling 6.5 points.
I decided to spend my day sitting down and doing an assignment- instead of the gym as i was a little sore from the previous night. BIG MISTAKE, this is how my day went down!
Lunch:
270g of strawberries, with soya skimmed cream = 5 points
6 lowfat cream crackers = 3 points
1 digestive biscuit = 1 point
1 kit kat orange = 2.5 points
and 2 teaspoons of sugar in my coffee = 0.5 point
Total for my "Lunch" = 13 points
OUCH
So, this left me with just 6.5 points for my dinner...I've decided to play it safe, dinner is going to be a Quorn lasagne, with 3 pieces of garlic bread and a WWFH caramel dessert- enough to fill me up, however this results in 8 points, and for those on the ball math wise, makes me 1.5 points over the daily limit.
However I'm going to look on the positives, it could be a lot worse..i could have just said 'screw it' and ordered a chinese, or some chips however I've recognised where I've gone wrong and i'm going to rectify it. Secondly those 1.5 points can be saved by walking up some stairs tomorrow, or going for a walk..even cutting down over the next few days, so it's not the end of the world.
On another note, my beautiful dress and shoes arrived today. Only to find the clasp on the back was non-existant, there was a thread tear in the overlay and the shoes didn't fit well and were too high than they looked. Will have to return them tomorrow. We were discussing in class yesterday about setting realistic goals, I don't think a size 14 dress..is realisitc. So, I'm going to settle to find a nice size 16 dress, and make the size 14 my christmas goal!
