“Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.” Confucius
I
survived my day out with the kids on track, we went to the Cineworld cinema to
see Smurfs2 which we all enjoyed, I resisted the popcorn 8pp for small, 15pp
for medium and 35 for large, ouch as nice as it is, this week it isn’t worth
not getting a weight loss! The kids
wanted to eat at the Hungry Horse (I mean the name says it all doesn’t it!), I
found the nutritional information online and checked a couple of options, ended
with Chicken Diane which was okay but it needed much more vegetables to make it
filling and really enjoyable, when will eateries realise healthy and low
calorie food doesn’t have to mean a small half empty plate!
I
knew I was going to be exhausted by the time I got home so picked up a ready
meal I actually wanted to eat whilst we were out.
The
temptations out there though are beyond counting, something as simple as
billboards everywhere to the cinema counter goodies, the menu at the pub which
included things such as a “Megasaurus Meal” to the ridiculously tempting dessert
counter which was going round and round and round so you got to see all of the
desserts!
Yes
it is difficult to stay within your daily allowance on a day out, I’m so glad I
still had my weeklies intact and also that I had earned some too because a day
on 26 when you can’t get anything less than 13 in the pub which isn’t really filling
either is going to make staying on track difficult.
Next
time I’m off out I think I’ll opt for a filling and healthy day, steak or
gammon would have been perfect.
Today
will mostly be quiet, I’ve got some work to catch up on then I’m chilling,
might potter in the garden and I’ll walk Alfie of course.
Have
you thought about how you’re going to survive the weekend? I think the more regular you do it the easier
it gets because it becomes a habit. I
haven’t drunk alcohol all week and it hasn’t bothered me, I really enjoyed my
Becks last night and I’ve realised it’s the drinking of lager I particularly enjoy
rather than effects it has on me, it’s not the lager nor the wine that chills
me out when I sit down in front of the tele on a Friday night, it’s the fact I’ve
actually sat down and stopped and relaxed that chills me out!
What
habits have you got that you might be able to change?
So
yesterday looked like this;
Breakfast
40g
Bran flakes – 4pp
½
pint milk – 3pp
Lunch
Chicken
Diane – 13pp
Beck
Blue Shandy – 1pp (they didn’t have diet lemonade so I had 7up, left it was
vile)
Tea
Sainsbury’s
My Goodness! Creamed haddock Risotto
Becks
Blue – 2pp
Pedometer
Activity ProPoints – 2pp
Left
for week, 49 weeklies & 5 Activity ProPoints left till Monday night J Next week I’ll
set it to use my weeklies first I think.
Here’s to another successful, enjoyable day of an
Eat Gorgeous and BeYOUtiful mentality!
Enjoy yours, I know I will xx
