[HPSaucy]

Yuck! Still have a hangover! Have felt so rough all day, dread to think how many syns in alcohol I consumed yesterday and then today I got to work and was persuaded to have a full fat coke.. Lots of syns but it seemed to work, the shakes seemed to go!

I also always say no to take aways when people have them in the office but today I decided I would have Nando's but I tried to keep syns down by not having chips or coleslaw. It was yummy though.

I do think that the lack of sleep hasn't helped the hangover, by the time I fell into a drunken stupor I had had 4 hours sleep in 43 hours!!

I've just walked past the vending machine on the way to the toilets and the chocolate was calling my name!! I didn't resist, I stayed strong but it was really hard!

 

[HPSaucy]

Really cross with myself that I gave in to a takeaway on my Night shift, I said no originally and then kept being asked, I then said is the chicken just grilled chicken? I was told yes so said I'd have one, I figured when theirs smelt good I'd still be having something all be it a bit more SW friendly, when it turned up it looked like blimin KFC! My face must have said it all as he kept asking if it was ok but I didn't have the heart to tell him no! So what do I do? Sabotage my diet by eating it, felt guilty all night so then decided to blow it again by having a twix when I got home!! I thought I was getting out of my bad habits but I can slip back quite easily.

Thing is I could have got into a slippery slope as yesterday all I wanted to do was pick at the chocolate biscuits and cakes in the office but I didn't.
