Oh, well I’m not sure what happened and although it’s by no means a disaster I still put on half a pound this week.

Why?  Now that is a good question.  Could it be that I finished off those Christmas chocs?  Yes, guilty, and the ridiculous thing is…. I don’t have a sweet tooth!  I’d much prefer to munch on a bag of crisps or a chunk of cheese.  What else have I done?  I did have a bit more alcohol this week.  Had a pig of a day on Monday, a horrid stressful incident involving a weirdo and the police and then I had a job interview so all in all I did have a few glasses of the old vino which if you’ve ever seen my wine glasses actually amount to a bottle of wine!  Not good for the waist line!

It’s a great excuse isn’t it?  Having a bad day, stress, etc etc.  Making excuses like this though really doesn’t help and doesn’t empower you at all.  At the end of the day you always have a choice.  Sadly I chose to put the chocolates and wine into my mouth and sadly that means a weight gain.  In times of temptation I must just ask myself…”How much do I really want to be slim and get fit?”  If I still put stuff in my mouth then that must mean I don’t want it as much as I thought.  Maybe now I have lost nearly 2 stones and am feeling great that the urgency has died down?  I will ponder on this some more and question how I am really feeling.

So this week I will be good.  I hope.  Nope, no “I hope”…..I will!

Hope you have a good one.

OK so the Christmas and the New Year celebrations are over and life has returned to normality!

I’ve had a good week.  Didn’t struggle sticking to my plan and so things went well! 3 pounds off WOO HOO!!!

I wonder if a couple of weeks of being naughty helped?  I mean, and I know this may sound ridiculous as I have had consistently good weightlosses each week on the whole, could it be that your body actually gets used to eating certain foods and then when you have something naughty for a short period and then change back again your body freaks outs at the naughty stuff and says hey lets get rid of that crap?  It would be nice to think that!

I actually think that psychologically we need a bit of a blow out from time to time too.  Whenever I start to feel deprived of something I start to focus on it more and more and then like clockwork the Law of Attraction kicks in and hey ho you’ve got what you asked for…..thinking fatty food or chocolate leads to eating it, leads to weight gain.  So my advice is to not feel deprived.  Have a little of what you fancy from time to time and most importantly be happy!

The more weight I shed, the happier I am!  How about you?

Thanks for being there.
