Wow, what a week

Haven't posted for a while as been sooo busy but a lot has happened *cue exciting music*

Monday was a good day for me food and exercise wise. I got up at 6am and ran / walked to the horses, fed them and then went the long way home running 1 minute and walking 1 minute and I didn't stay within my calorie allowance for the day in spite of the running as I had a binge in the evening. Gutted. I did binge on healthy stuff tho but a calorie is a calorie whether it's good stuff or a snickers bar (I dream) .

Tuesday - I have found a lot of things in my handbag but never what I found Tuesday morning. Funny because when I picked it up and put my purse in it I thought I could smell something then when we got in the car daughter said "I can smell something funny" *cue interesting music*. I dropped daughter off and started removing various objects from my handbag, sunglasses, purse, cheque book, dead mouse, keys, lipstick .... what?!?! dead f***ing mouse? Where did that come from? WTF??? I couldn't care less whether I got done for littering that little bugger was going out the car window! No exercise today and only went over my calories by 45 but that still didn't help me try and claw back Monday's binge of 550 calories ... uh oh.

Wednesday - I was going really well with my calorie allowance. I can manage on 1100 calories by eating my sugar free alpen, fruit and yoghurt in the morning, having either a small wholemeal sandwich or wrap with some raw veg and then a sensible tea, just today I felt really hungry after my lunch and though I'd have a milkshake to fill me up. The ones that say no artificial colours, low fat, you know those. Anyway when I went to put it into WLR database it said it was 350 calories!! I'd already drank it so couldn't not have it then! Really disappointed with that as that left me with only 200 calories for my tea. Couple that with trying to claw back some calories from Monday I was losing before I began. This just reinforced the fact that I need to put things in my diary BEFORE I eat them. I wasn't going to eat nothing for my tea or I may have another binge like Monday. Calories were over by 400 today. Oh dear. Mind you, still beneath my maintenance calories (what I need to eat to stay the same) so may lose some this week.

Thursday - Horse of the Year Show today with daughter and Lilly. We got up early, had my normal breakfast and made a small wholemeal sandwich, took 2 apples, plenty of water and crisps for daughter. We bathed Lilly (who was, as ever a star) and got up to the show in plenty of time. We saw the lady we bought Lilly from 3 years ago (yes 3 years) which was nice.

Daughter came home with 2 firsts and a second, I was so pleased for her. They looked lovely and it was even better as Lilly's previous owners were there. Hopefully they'll be some nice professional photo's to buy. I will go Saturday and have a look.

I didn't eat anything all day! I didn't realise I was that hungry until I got home at 5.30pm so we decided to have a take-away (oh dear). Bugger it, I was starving and tired and couldn't be bothered to cook. I had, from Crabby Jacks, a club sandwich and garlic bread with cheese. I popped it all in my food diary and came up with 500 calories over. Not too bad really. I haven't put any exercise in either but was on my feet and walking a lot of today.

Still within maintenance for the week so have decided this week I won't get upset if I don't lose any weight and will be very happy if I stay the same. I've still got 3 days left before weigh in so I must be good those days and make sure i do some exercise as I haven't done any since Monday. No excuse but I have been uber busy this week!

Oh and non of this "I feel guilty for eating takeaway" or "I felt bloated and awful afterwards", I bloody well enjoyed every mouthful and would do it again tomorrow if I didn't want to lose weight so much!!
