Week 2: Weekend from Hell.
Friday night, I hopped in the car and hot footed it down to Oxford to see a friend for the evening. A few sweeties were passed around the car. Get to Oxford starving to death, can of Carling. Get to Bella Italia, large glass of wine, 1/4 of a sharing platter, a whole red pesto pizza (minus the crust) and half a chocolate brownie pudding. 3 jack daniels and diet coke.
Saturday: Skip breakfast and have a burger and chips for lunch. Head back to Nottingham, do a food shop, then head out for celebratory meal at favourite restaurant in the whole world. Pointing wasn’t going to come into it, I was going to enjoy every second. And half a bottle of wine. And Churros. And two cocktails.
Sunday: Got up at 8am to start the clean you do before family members arrive. Bake a carrot cake (healthiest cake option I could find), and smartie cookies.Didn’t get time for food, probably ate 4 cookies and 2 slices of carrot cake. Had homemade Beef Dhansak, half a glass of wines and a bottle of lager to finish a thoroughly lovely weekend.
I knew in my heart of hearts that the damage had been done, and had already decided to stick to my 31 daily points, get 40ish exercise points to ‘bank’ against the debt and write off my weekly points.
So blow me if the scales didn’t show a 1.2lb loss this morning! My body works in weird and wonderful ways!
Have drawn the line and will spend the week being more virtuous. I know I want to do this properly, and as soon as my current Pilates course finishes, I think I’m going to jack online in and start going to meetings instead.
