Dreaming of this dress!
My god, did it rain last night! Haven't been down to the allotment on account of this, as I know it will be all muddy, and as I left my wellies at school I wouldn't be able to do any digging. My back and legs are killing me as well from all the digging yesterday, so I guess I might as well take it easy today.
My friend cancelled on me anyway (we are rescheduling for later in the week) so at least I don't have to worry about the pub lunch!
Have had half a pot of fat free strawberry yogurt for brekkie, with a cheese toastie (which felt very naughty first thing but I was hungry) which I made in my new panini maker. The bread was my HEXB and the cheese my HEXA so that's OK.
I've just written on the Wednesday weigh in thread about one of my downfalls (after alcohol and cheese) being portion size, and that really made me think. Why do I struggle with portion size so much? And without trying to pass blame (I'm really not), the only thing I can think of is that I come from the sort of family where Mum is a trained chef, and if you did not have second helpings of everything she would start questioning her cooking. Like, literally 'what is wrong with my food, why are you not eating' kind of thing.
So I guess for an easy life we used to stuff ourselves, which was fine growing up, as I played lots of sports, and was a very active girl, but then I injured my knee (playing football) and that was pretty much the end of running and lots of sports.
Then I met my OH, and the rest is probably a familiar story. Get comfortable, eat take-aways, drink too much etc. He is the kind of bloke who can eat and drink whatever he wants without putting on any weight (*******), and he does not understand why I am not the same! I kept secretly hoping this would all change once he turned into his 40s, so that he would 'get it', but he is now 48 and is, sadly, as skinny as ever!!! It's so unfair!! If I was on his diet for even a month I would put on about 4 stone, I just know it.
Anyway, the sun is shining now, so I might go down to the allotment and have a look later, to see if it has dried up, at least I might be able to carry on cutting down some of the long grass, even if I don't get to dig today.
Here's to a great day!!
