Smiley face

Well, I did it - managed to stay pretty focussed on healthy eating for the week despite having visitors for 3 days - and of course hospitality and socialising and alcohol go hand in hand. But I 've counted every point and finished off the week breaking even. Well you ask - what did the scales say - 1kg down on Monday morning. Didn't that put a smile on my face. So 1.1kgs in 2 weeks - not exactly falling off me but moving in the right direction. Have also been trying to walk as often as possible - managed to walk five days out of seven last week. Three more weigh ins before I go to NZ - would really like to have 4kgs off in total by then - but even 3 would be good. Had hoped this week would be easier to stay off alcohol - not that I want to cut if out completely but I'm trying to stay off on 'school nights' and just have a few on the weekend. But.... came home from the beautician's last night and Bloss tells me that we're having tea with B & H tonight - we get on so well and they drink just as much as us! Thinking I'll try and just have Diet Pepsi till we have dinner then have a couple of glasses of wine. Then another night out on Friday night - one of my guys is leaving so we're having a team get together to farewell him at a local restaurant. Oh well I'll just have to manage it. Guess what's different these days with watching my weight is that I'm trying to manage it within my 'normal' lifestyle. Can't see the point of going on the wagon till I lose what I want then turning on the tap again - I'll just be back to where I started in no time. So as they say it's all about moderation and making the right choices!! Stay with the fish and chicken and get the sauce/dressing served on the side. Talk soon.
