5 & 6 done and dusted

Yeap boring titles I know but am sure that they will change as the year goes on....

Right days 5 & 6 - all went ok especially given that I have got my period (sorry if to much info)!  Have recently come off the pill (and no it is NOT so I can get pregnant but for other reasons) and boy I haven't had a period like this for a long time!  Friday I was hanging out for chocolate or anything sweet but I worked my way through it and was very proud of myself!!! 

Saturday, had to face my first social outing as we had a family BBQ lunch in Masterton as my niece Alex was out from the UK.  I survived and did really well but boy oh boy sitting at the table with my wee salad and piece of steak (which I had taken with me but got it cooked on the BBQ) was real hard when there so many yummy foods on the table (sausages, chicken kebabs, scrumptious looking salads and fresh bread rolls) so after I had eaten mine, I excused myself and went & sat inside while the others finished their meals as I was getting tempted.... I know the others wouldn't have let me have anything but it was having them all sitting there in front of me and the smell etc!  I did treat myself to a diet coke to take over there but only had about a third of the bottle!

Will be doing measurements/photos tonight and then weighing in tomorrow!  Am pretty happy with the scales so far!  Officially they only like you to weigh in once a month, however they do realise that a lot of people that do the program are "serial dieters" so accept that some people do weigh daily/weekly.  I am still checking in daily but hoping to wean myself off that to weekly slowly.  I know I could put the scales away but no, I just need to trust myself!

Right off to work - bugger but that is life!

That's fantastic work Karen. Social situations can be very hard to cope with, especially with alcohol and sweets and just how most gatherings have a lot of food to tempt us. Give yourself a pat on the back, well done.
