It sets my whole day off on the wrong footing. It doesn’t really help that I wasn’t sure which foot I was going to set my day off on either. To say I’m at a cross roads is an understatement. This weekend I took time out to relax despite only getting back on track last week.

I will admit now it was the wrong decision, I would of done better trying to stick to with it, but still allow myself to relax a little bit within the confines of my eating plan -2 x a day- however I didn’t and boy did I go all out. It wasn’t so much as the junk food or takeaways it was once again the constant grazing.

The constant need to be eating when I am relaxing and not doing much. The relaxing  side of it was great I had a proper family weekend, we went to a christening on Saturday and then Sunday we had family over for a game of mousetrap and some food of course. Ah the food cheese flan and salad, followed by strawberries and cream.

If only I had stopped there and not eaten the minstrels or the cooked breakfast, the Danish and even a left over cupcake. Yep that is all on the one day! Don’t even ask about Saturday with the hog roast, best sausage rolls ever and gateaux’s as far as the eye can see.

So why then if I ate all that over the weekend have I woken up hungry with a big hankering for a sticky bun?  That is even after seeing the scales have gone up 3lbs that’s the two I really struggled to lose last week and plus one!

I think that’s the thing the problem isn’t what I ate over the weekend, hell we’re all allowed some time out to enjoy ourselves with family and friends.  I think it’s last week where the problem lies at the beginning of the weekend I was saying to a friend maybe it’s because  I am eating later why I’m struggling to lose.

But then I really don’t want to stop eating with Steve when he gets home from work it’s our only quiet time of the day. What I think might be contributing is the fact we go and sit on the sofa afterwards and basically mong out before we go to bed. So this week I am thinking rather than sitting there watching TV most nights.

I’m going to shake it up a bit and maybe do some surfing or even play a game on the PlayStation we do have the move after all. Or even take the dogs out for wander around the field (if the weather is nice of course, we don’t get many nice summer evenings nowadays) basically I want to stop eating dinner and then passing out in front of TV.

Still no coughs from the beautiful beasts in my life, so this week I will also be bringing them back into work. Which will hopefully help me lose some pounds.
