Stayed at home yesterday as my little one wasnt feeling to great so that brought about a bit of change to the old routine, i started the the day by making up half a sachet of the cappucino shake with a spoon of coffee! but watered it down so it tasted very much like a normal milky coffee.
i have family in kenya and with a couple of other family members going over the xmas period i decided to send some home made indian sweets with them as a suprise! spent the morning making rose flavoured sweets, orange and almond and peppermint flavoured one oh and a mixed fruit and nut fudge!! i feel quite proud cuz not only did the sweets turn out fab but the best thing is i didnt feel the need to even try a bit!! maybe as my taste buds are not craving sugar right now i dont know!! but i told myself if i was painting a picture i wouldnt eat the paints "just to try it" so why would i eat my ingredients!! half the supply of sweets packed and ready to be flown off to my in laws in kenya and the rest to my mum and dad!! (if there are any left once my son and hubby see them)
lunch time - made my self mushrooms sauteed in a bit frylight and a spinach omlette, i added a bit of tobasco and boy it hit the spot!! i'm seriously considering making this change of routine a more permanent thing!! after lunch i did feel i needed anything for hours on end!! i kept sipping green tea and warm water whilst chilling with my boy cuddled up on the sofa!! - had the other half of my shake at about 4ish!! while my son had his hot chocolate!!
my creative flare has come out, having made all them sweets i did some research into making home made chocolates and truffles!! will be making a few of them over xmas as gifts to give away!! there's a real feeling of... i dunno feeling light maybe?? knowing that actually i can control my urges- it still needs work i admit but it feels like a step in the right direction!!
had a porridge for dinner cleaned, tidied and sorted the laundry and went to bed!! realised when i woke up that i hadnt had my 3 shakes!! must remember to have all 3!!
today: killed half a litre of green tea plus another large mug at work - colleague has gone to make me a 2nd one!! looks like green tea is going out of fashion or something lol!! i'm doing more xmas shopping today!! last min bits and bobs!!
will have my choc tetra in a bit, porridge for lunch and another choc tetra while i'm out shopping, i also have my weigh in today!! my scales are showing 11.8but i know my CDC's scales will show more than that!!
onwards and downwards - nicked that from someone elses diary!
also noticed my bra feels too loose!! hubby will not be happy with that!!
