Thinking it over - back to basics

After my initial strop last night (I think tears made an appearance) and a lot of WTF's, I've been mulling it all over and trying to work out exactly how I got it so wrong.

Realistically, I know I cannot have put on half a stone of fat in such a small period of time. It's likely to be a bit of fat and a lot of water and a lot of bread, but I am hopeful it will come off fairly soon.

I've thought again about my weekend away as I've another weekend away coming up and then a week's holiday so I need to sort this out. I managed a 2 week holiday in the US and lost 2.5 pounds, so something is not going right here.

So whilst in Spain I did the below which I thought would help:

• Had eggs on toast for breakfast instead of the Full English the rest of the party ordered
• Skipped lunch
• Avoided Chips at dinner and asked for Jacket Spud or Salad
• Drank a load of water
• Stuck to Vodka and Soda in the bars
• Ordered Falafel with Salad instead of a Kebab when drunk :)
• Walked home (at least 30 mins) instead of taking a taxi

But, I seem to have conveniently forgotten this:

• Skipped lunch but shared a few large bags of crisps with the girls
• Drank shots while out
• Drank wine with Dinner
• Drank a lot of Diet Coke
• Had a pizza slice on the plane over
• Ordered food when drunk having already had dinner

So, clearly, I made some good choices, but I also made a lot of bad ones, including yesterday when I ate my bodyweight in bread.

Back to basics today. I am weighing everything, I am photographing everything and I am going to do Jillian every day (done this morning, ouch!).

I'll be back later with my food diary to try and keep me on the straight and narrow.
