arrrrggghhhh….frustrated with myself for messing up….i WILL get back on track though, NOW!!
ok, so I messed up today…..after doing SO well all week. And i have weigh in Monday morning to I wait till Saturday to mess up and therefore I might not lose Monday….oh why do I sabotage my weight loss success…and theres no-one to blame but myself…lol!!
Oh well, I had been doing so well, even did well not eating too much during my night shift last night (thanks for all the tips people, I did well!).Got home at 7am this morning, and had a very small bowl of cornflakes with fat free milk. went to bed till 2pm and then met a friend for lunch. No idea how many calories, could have been good , good have been bad, lol! it was nice though! went to the market and got a portion of ‘Kitchiri’ (sp) from the Hare Krishna food stall…was good, think its rice and mung beans and veg all in a curry type thing. Anyway, was nice. I counted it as 500 calories for the portion but i don’t have a clue! then we wandered around the shops (got new jeans and a new cute cardigan for 8 euro altogether! I shop in the charity shops!) and we stopped off for a chocolate, ooops! I cannot resist Leonidas chocolate shops though (do u have them in the US?), had one vanilla cream chocolate sweet….mmm…so good! and yes, just one!! counted it as 100 cals but again no idea! So then myself and my flatmate CLEANED our apartment, it was a mess!, and then i chilled out listening to music, had two glasses of wine and then I opened a BIG bag of crisps (chips)….I mean they have been in the flat for probably over 2 months and I had forgotten they were there! why today! why did I open them! anyway, I ate most of them…they were good. again, no idea….500 cals?? more?! oh well….as i’ve written it down here I’ve mellowed and don’t feel as bad about it as I did before (yay for blogging!). So I will hopefully get a good sleep tonight (I find this helps my weight loss!) and I will be back on track tomorrow and WILL get some exercise in! It will all be ok!
ok, rant over. Am feeling good about things at the moment, feeling positive and optimistic and feeling that I CAN do this healthy life thing….hands. out. of. the. crisp. packet……lol!
good luck everyone….:)

You should probably look up the calorie amounts online, I use www.calorieking.com

Everyone has off days. The trick is to make them happen rarely and to recover quickly. It looks to me like you are doing that, so you are still on the road to real success!
You’re doing fine. Keep up the great work.
Thanks….I usually use the About.com calorie counter…but I like that calorieking one…I’ll use it from now on!

Unfortunately everything I had ‘guessed’, well I think I was pretty right with it…so I did go over. well, not much i can do about it now!
Yep I AM recovering quickly. Had a good sleep, a healthy breakfast (at 1pm, lol!) and going to go out for a long walk before work at 6pm.
So tomorrows weigh in may not be as impressive as I’d have liked but once again I must resign myself to the fact that my body will only lose 1-2 pounds per week, and I should be happy with that!!
Thanks everyone
