Oh Dear! Need to get back on track.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday were terrible, a combination of Aunt Flo, laziness and being cold and bored. I don't even really remember everything I ate and I didn't write any of it in my notebook. I did have some SW friendly meals mostly pasta based and with as much superfree as I could get my hands on but I also ate fish and chips from the chip shop, a enchilada from the canteen, some green and blacks dark chocolate, and a glass of white wine. Found myself snacking on things I'm not even that keen on like rice cakes. I didn't do any exercise apart from snow fun and I can really tell the difference feel sluggish and tired (not helped by the fact that Grace was awake a lot last night though.)
Anyway I'm drawing a line under that now. Sorted my head out yesterday and I'm back in the game. Stayed up late planning a week's worth of meals..
We also have a huge food shop coming....basically bankrupt me but it'll be so good to have good stuff in the cupboards.
I've got everything I need to stay on plan today
Breakfast: Alpen light bar (1/2 HexB), muller light and apple.
Lunch: Carrot, sweet potato and pepper soup, 2 ryvita (Half HexB) and some veggie sticks and cherry tomatoes.
Dinner: Beef brisket, carrot and swede mash and white cabbage.
Snacks: Clementines, Banana and Muller Light, Milk for HexA in tea and some for a yummy highlight hot choc this evening (2 syns).
Hoping I can keep my sins really low today and tomorrow so that Wednesday morning isn't too horrible. Plus I'll be getting in the exercise bike this evening no matter what!
I'm not sure if you are supposed to split your healthy extras but it adds a bit of variety, so going to give it a try. Quite often I don't get through my whole days milk allowance and I wouldn't want to eat say 5 laughing cow triangles so this way I should still get the nutrients I need and keep it fresh.
Aside from the bad eating I had a lovely weekend with Grace, it was so nice not to be rushing to get somewhere and to just have time to play with her.
I do however, have a huge list of home 'to do's' that I wonder if I'll ever get time for. Things like clearing out the outhouse, cleaning inside the kitchen cupboards, staining the work tops, putting the Christmas decorations back in the loft, on top of one day having time to shave my legs, moisturise and paint my toenails. I'm really struggling balancing everything at the moment and the house looks like a tip and only the bits of me that are on show are partially acceptable to look at (I haven't had a hair cut for nearly 3 months and my eyebrows look like caterpillars). Maybe it's just hormones but being a Mum and working full time feels pretty hard at the moment.
since the microwave is sooooo far away) and then either a roll or some salad as well as plenty of fruit. Haven't felt the need to visit the canteen or vending machine at all.
