Let's talk about yesterday!

I find Thursdays challenging. It's the day after weigh in and the beginning of a new week. That means to me either 'I have a new week to try hard to stick to plan and get a good weight loss' or 'well, I have a whole week, so I might as well let up on myself for one day as I can catch up for the rest of the week!' I teeter between the two and to be honest I don't always make the right choice! Yesterday was a 'teetering' kind of start, especially as I had put on half a pound.

With little voices in my head pulling against each other I resolved to try my best to stick to plan. Have you heard those voices? "Go on, treat yourself. It won't make much difference." "No, be good. Stick to plan. You know it's right". And so on. On the way to work I thought I would treat myself by stopping off at the supermarket for some bits and cashing in on the free coffee with my loyalty card. I love it - a huge cup of rich black  coffee! Did my shopping and arrived at the machine to find a huge "DO NOT USE. Cleaning in progress" sign. Humphhhh! I so very nearly fell at the first hurdle!
Decided though to buy an expensive jar of coffee to make my own!

Breakfast when I got to work looked like this:

Surprisingly filling, I have to say.

Lunch was a bit of a thrown together affair but tasty nonetheless. Bacon, onion, apple and potato salad with a tablespoon of Mayo (1 syn)

Working late at a governors meeting so I bought a box of shortbread for everyone. I managed to steer clear though and had a HiFi bar myself. How self righteous?! (6syns). When I arrived home just before 9.00 pm those little voices were back! It would be all to easy to go off the rails by grazing and snacking. The voices didn't win because this is what I had:

The roll was my HEb. I also had a bowl of fresh berries.

Those voices so often pop up in my head. It's about 50/50 to date who wins but I am trying to tip the balance. I ended the day with a hot chocolate (HEa) and another HiFi to go with it, so another 8 syns in total. A heavy day for syns but it was better than losing to those damned voices.
