Trying....

Thanks for all your comments last night, I am spurred on this week to be as good as gold. I always have a fear when I have a big loss that it's some freak of the scales and it'll all be back on the following week, so I NEED to be good. I'm now back at 50 lbs in total lost, only 2 more to go to match my lowest weight in recent history and then it's unknown territory.

Today is trying my ability to be good. Up early this morning, 3 mile walk done, 3 BP's earnt. Bosh. 2 packs of Granola Nibbles and 1 pack of Fruity Bits with skimmed milk for breakfast (4.5). Bosh.

Text message from friend who I am visiting tonight to say she is cooking Salmon En Croute with Veg for dinner. Bosh and Aaarrrggghhhhh. Have you seen the points in this? 10 at perhaps the very least (presuming I get an average Salmon Fillet and a sheet of ready made pastry), but more likely around 14-16. Ok, no panic, will have a simple salad for lunch and life will be sweet.

And then... completely forgot I'd arranged to meet another friend for a pub lunch and she called me at 12 to find out if I was on my way as she was there already. Whoooops. So I flew out of the office, Eating Out Guide in hand so I can be super prepared and pick something for 4-5 points at the most.

Well thanks Brewer's Fayre, you have indeed made that tricky. Chicken and Bacon Salad perhaps? 7.5 points. Tomato and Roast Vegetable Pasta perhaps? 12 points. Tandoori Vegetable Curry perhaps? 13 points. Why is it everything you think sounds fairly good, is not? So, a portion of Onion Rings for lunch it was - 3.5 points. I won't mention that I am about to chew my arm off within 90 minutes of eating them. I just hope my friend has dinner ready the minute I walk in her door tonight.
