Monday Blues...

Last night, I enjoyed a wonderful Thai takeaway. After losing a stone, I felt like I really  deserved it. I was careful though. We bought our own rice with the lowest cal intake, and I was careful that any started that were shared, were portioned larger for my partner. However, I know I could have done better! Then this morning I had breakfast made for me, bacon and egg sandwich. So the weekend didn't start off too great for a diet! However, I did make sure to do 2 workouts on Saturday as I was feeling a little guilty. 

On Sunday I was working, travelling around the countryside, so I was good with my fruit snacks and breakfast, but when I got home, we had roast pork dinner, and quite late in the evening too. So again, not a great day. However in the evening, I did do some more research on health foods. Unfortunately, I didn't find much more than what I already knew. There are these super foods, that may have fat but healthy fats in them, and tonnes of energy. But the majority of those I already have anyway. Other than that, most forums I was reading didn't have anything new that I could try out. So I've put a few pics of some super foods i will aim to eat more of.

So after a lovely relaxing weekends, I was pretty confident I hadn't lost weight, so stepping on the scales this morning I wasn't surprised to find I had put on a pound. I shrugged my shoulders at this, unsurprised, although I tiny bit disappointed. But I reminded myself what this is called. A 365 day diet. There is a reason for that. I am likely to go up here and there, maybe due to life situations. Most of the time, if I had lost a stone and put on a pound, I would give up there and think "well, I lost a stone". This time, I don't feel like that at all. I know that I'm going to keep going, and I don't feel downhearted at all. 

How ever I have noted that I have got lazy in my evening meals, having larger portions again, because I just don't want two salads in a day. So I'm going to play with this a little, and at lunch, not put lettuce in my lunch box, just carrots, celery, cucumber and tomato. It feels more like a snack but likely to still have enough energy in it to keep me going through the day, particularly with my snacks too.  Then, I can encourage myself to fill up on salad in the evening. 

I was very good yesterday, only having veg and humous for tea, and a piece of toast and peanut butter at Around 7pm as I was peckish. I took a sneaky peek at the scales this morning and it looks like my little detox brought me back to my original weight from Friday, plus another pound lost!! But... This doesn't count. It's not weigh in day. So I'll aim to be very good with portions all week this week and see if it makes a difference by Friday!
