Charley, my food isn't interesting lol. I have battles between eating things that speed up my metabolism and keeping the family happy. Somedays you justy can't beat a pasta n sauce and that's what I love about this diet, you can have lazy days or you can cook a lovely sw recipe.

Your diary is looking good.

was decorating all day and then had to to ikea and matalan which are a good drive away from us in the evening so didnt actually sit down and eat anything until 11pm in the evening..by then had completley gone past wanting food at all, everywere was covered in wet paint and shouting at children to stop touching the said paint so was not in the mood for cooking anything so just had 2 alpen lights and a bag of ryvita minis!!..
terrible day food wise and drink wise as i only had 1 pint of nas squash and 3 coffees..

Tuesday 3rd January 2012

well my absence since last week should speak volumes about the way ive eaten since thursday night..shocking can only describe it really1!
we have had 2 family parties and a few late nights and it just included lots of food, drink and snacks.. i have eaten like a crazy women and i seemed to have put on about 6 lbs
i am not going to beat myself up .. whats done is done all i can do now is rectify the damage... and start afresh as of today..
ive also decided to not drink any alchohol for atleast a month as i find that the minute i have a drink i get the munchies and all self control goes out of the window!!..and i think my poor liver needs some time to restore itself as well!!..
so im going to have my syns daily instead of saving a load up for the weekend, to walk a lot more and to drink a lot more water.. i tend to have about 3 pints im going to try and increase that to about 5 pints..
