Good evening guys
Well I thought today was going to be hard as I was bored out of my mind! However I have been on track all day and feel great.
No gym today as it was try to let my body recover
Went out to the local farm shop for lunch in their beautiful tea room.
B- 2 lean rashers of bacon with some tinned tomatoes on 1 slice of multiseed toast
(no morning snack as I had an early lunch)
L- homemade chicken broth and half a white bread bun with a smidging of butter
S- 2 apricot and almond cookies
D- prawn and mango salad with sweet chills and line dressing
S- 35g nakd bar
Pretty good day really probably slightly higher GL then usual but not overly high
Achievements
Only having half that bun and resisting the amazing fruit scones they had on offer
Saying no to mum wanting to buy peanut butter flap jack
Nearly finishing my next assignment to avoid Pigging out or total utter boredom

Well guys had a bad day yesterday!!! In the afternoon I pigged out god knows how many calories or how high the gi was and i didn't even enjoy it!
Anyway I did a gym session so hoping my metabolism was working super speed and getting rid off it. Think i went all out cos I have been very good the whole time and lost another 2lbs this week and needed some kind of break!!!
So onwards today and back on plan!!!
B- porridge with apricots and walnuts
S- small banana and 2 Nairns fruit and spice oat biscuits
L- innocent sweet potato chilli veg pot and 2 multigrain crackers
Did an early gym session about 1 hour
Washed my car by hand
I'll post the rest of the day later

Paleo maintenance rocks!
Today's looking good Lauren and you're doing so well with your goals! We all have the odd bad day but you've done absolutely the right thing by not beating yourself up too much about it - I'm sure you're right about your metabolism - and getting right back on the horse.

Food looks good, and I agree with what Plum says. We all have our odd day or days, and that's fine. We are dealing with the real world, and if we don't give into to our cravings here and there, we'd completely fall off the horse for good.
Keep up the good work, and today is a new day

Thanks for the encouragement Cali!
You do all keep me on track!
It is pouring down with rain and all I can think about is sitting down and doing nothing!!! However I need to tidy up before I can find a seat!
Ahh how nice a magic wand would be right now... I'd magic away my last 10/12 lbs (haven't decided properly yet) and tidy up the house so it is sparkly then magic myself all new clothes!

Can I borrow the magic wand? I would so love to use it on the house, and on losing weight I promise to return it
