So far, so good

After my weigh in on Tuesday night, I made the decision to stop. Take a breath. Look at what I was doing. I did just that, and I made the decision to get back on plan. I’m two days back to it, and so far, so good. Actually, it’s a bit more than that. It’s hard to kick a sugary habit, and sometimes it can be really hard to say “no”. As I mentioned in my last post, it was my colleague’s last day and even more cake was wheeled in for the occasion.

The depleted cake cupboard

On the shelves of the cake cupboard are:

Cadbury Flake Cake (14.5 syns per portion)
Flapjack bites (3.5 syns per bite for the Tesco ones, 4 syns for the Sainsbury ones – we have both)
Ring doughnuts (approximately 11 syns each)
Mini brownie bites (2.5 syns for the Tesco ones)

We have also had Viennese Whirls, Cadbury Cake Bars, Mr Kipling Cake Slices and probably some more that I forgot.

Have I touched any of them? Nope. Not in the last two days. It was quite hard yesterday, though I made sure I had plenty of fruit to snack on. Today hasn’t been quite as bad as I haven’t been feeling brilliant. It started when I was out for the goodbye drinks and meal last night (I chose a ploughmans, ate the salad, pickled onion and cheddar, and donated the stilton and bread to other people). I went straight to bed when I got home.

When I woke up this morning, I still didn’t feel brilliant, and by 9:30am, I had lost my voice. I haven’t much felt like eating really as my throat and ears have been very sore. Thankfully I have now regained my voice following a good coughing fit.

We cracked a couple more of the wedding presents out this evening, and made chicken in a smoky tomato sauce with broccoli and rice. It filled a hole and I was quite pleased with it, given it was a throw together. I polished it off with a couple of truffles that we had as a gift from work.
