I'm Doing This For Me, Because I'm Worth It

[KP the nut]

Week one went well. I didn't blow it all on a Friday night blow out as I have done in the past. Yes, I had wine, pizza and a mini magnum but in much smaller quantities. Only a couple of slices of pizza.

I weighed myself for the first time this morning and OK it is bad, but not as bad as I thought. Now I just need to continue doing more of the same.

I've started doing a 2 mile walking/exercise tape. I'm shooting for 5 days a week.

I am watching what I eat one bite at a time. I have to do something.

I watched H have 2 muffin rolls for lunch. A couple of weeks ago, I would have matched him, bite for bite. Today, I only ate one :angelic:.

I am going to have a glass of wine soon, but not too much. H is cooking supper and then we will have a glass together.

I'm glad your doing well KP. Little by little.:tup::tup:

I've cut out sweet cereals and am now only having a small quantity of whole grain stuff.

Lunch was Warberton's Thins (Lovely low call bread, give it a try KP). I had a bit of goats cheese and chutney with salad and it was yummy! I have also discovered, thanks to my sister, Laughing Cow Blue Cheese Spread, it's low fat! I just have half a triangle on a cracker or sandwich and it's great!

Evening meal was a smoked salmon fishcake on a small portion of rice with some beetroot and some home cooked parsnip crisps (chips). I also had half a glass of wine.;)

Treats: apple mid afternoon. 1 Belvita biscuit after tea.

I don't feel at all hungry. Tomorrow I'm making low fat meatballs in a tomato sauce. :tup:

I'm glad you are doing well. They say small changes can make a big difference. One nice thing about knowing where you are starting from is as you make progress you can see it happen, on the scale and you know just how far you've come. :tup:

I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 1.2 kg (almost a bag of flour):angelic:.

Now to keep going.

Wow KP! Well done! :tup:

Inspirational.

I've been so good but tonight I'm 'NOT doing this for me' LOL

It is Bonfire (Guy Fawks) Night and I have baked spiced cookies and made treacle toffee so I will have 1 cookie and a few nibbles later when favourite eldest sets the fireworks off (with a glass of mulled cider) and then back to being good tomorrow!

I taking the attitude that we are allowed some nights off. Problem was, I was taking every night off;)

 

[CraftyCath]

...And I'm still eating treacle toffee!:oops: Oh well.:D

Save some for H, he loves the stuff.

I'm so proud of how I am doing. I'm almost through week 2 and I feel healthier.
