It sure has been lovely having a long weekend for us in Wellington.... but back to work and back to reality tomorrow. Poor Stephan has been off work for 4 weeks and tomorrow is his first day back so it will be a shock to the system for him. And I am starting to dread getting Rachel all ready to be out of the house by 7.20am each morning again. She is going to Steph's mums for 2 days and then to a friends place for 2 days this week.
I weighed myself yesterday morning and I was up 400gms so not sure what this week's official weigh in on Wednesday morning will hold.... I think overall I am doing rather well and am impressed with myself and the changes that I am making however I know I can do better and I know I will do better over more time. I had a Nutrimetrics Hand Pamper session at my place last night and provided a light supper of cheese/pate and crackers and some choccie biscuits. The chocolate ones didn't appeal to me at all... but boy oh boy the smoked salmon pate (with crackers) was amazing!!! Went a wee bit overboard with that! And the 3.5 glasses of wine that I had was rather nice too!
Today, we caught up with friends that we hadn't seen for ages.... indoor bbq lunch due to the wind but I definitely ate to much and felt the after effects quite fast! I kicked myself afterwards for eating to much and not stopping when I was full! Hadn't had breakfast and think my eyes were bigger than my belly (and that's saying something)!! Dinner was a yummy roast pork with new spuds from the garden (only had 1 medium one) and lots of veggies.
I think the saying is that it takes 3 weeks to break/form a habit.... well this is my 3rd week and tomorrow the bakery near work reopens again - this is the bakery that I went to almost every morning and got a sausage roll and a V.... I am drawling at the thought of them again but I know I have to be real strong - walk around the block so I don't go past it... I CAN DO THIS!!!!

Mmm.... yes I think it does take a long time to break a habit and please, please just break the bakery habit!! I never go near one now and have no desire to but the secret is not feeling hunger. I realise your body will be much different from mine as I didn't eat much cake/sugar at all anyway (yet was still prediabetic!!). Make sure you have protein at breakfast, even if it is left over dinner from the night before.
Also think of the long term consequences - think of Rachel. You want to be around to see her grow up and I'm not joking here... your health is the most important thing you have and now is the time to change.
Not sure about those choccie biscuits. I hope you will keep on though and keep the changes that you make then make more and more.
