MoreTeaMimi's daily check in
Hello all. I've gone from yesterday, feeling miserable about my appearance and gluttony, to an overwhelming feeling of positivity. I read about this way of eating elsewhere on line and it seemed to fit me immediately. I know snacking is my downfall, not helped by the fact that I run the family restaurant, and am surrounded by delicious lovelies at all time! I am going away for a long weekend, which will heavily feature wine and nibbles, but I'd rather start now, and recover from the weekend, than to wait until I'm back. I have a lot of weight to lose, and every day counts.
So for my first day: Crumpets with lime curd for breakfast, a cheese and ham sarnie for lunch, and I've not yet had dinner, but I think I'll go for a baked haddock salad. I've stuck to tea or americano coffee, as I'm prone to choosing a cappuccino too often otherwise. I know that's ok, but when you have them on tap I'm not sure its a good idea!
The day started with a 3 mile walk with the dog. I hate the days I start work early and I don't get to take her, especially when its quiet and I move less in work.

Success - ish. All day was great, toast for brekkie, a toastie for lunch (I am aware I rely too much on bread) and duck with veg for dinner. The only blip has been that chef asked me to try the sticky toffee pudding. It was only a tiny piece, so I'm not going to kick myself about it, but am happy to report that it was lovely and I'm happy to sell it. It would be very easy to have a bigger piece, but I can say no.

Success - a straight three meals today. Granted, lunch was bigger than I would usually have, but at dinner I didn't even feel a pang saying no to the cheesecake my mother in law brought round. The scales show a loss already, but I don't dare hope that that's more than normal variation. Well, I'm hoping, but you knowwhat I mean.

Back to business after a long weekend of fun and Christmas movies! It was seriously the most strange weekend though. Apart from wine, of which I partook freely, I was most restrained. I ended up bringing back the mince pies which I'd bought thinking I'd eat the lot. I just didn't feel like eating fur the sake of it. My dad is now in possession of them, and I have had a great success day to get back into the swing of it. I haven't gone on the scales yet, but have high hopes for this diet on the long term.

I think today is a success. I had a delicious breakfast of porridge with grated apple and cinnamon, but then got so wrapped up in the christmas decorations, and cleaning up afterwards, I forgot to have lunch. To be fair, I wasn't at all hungry. I got to work at 5 and had a fabulous dinner of apricot stuffed chicken with mash, and am pleasantly full now. Extra points for not having any of the sweeties that the girls have littering the place!

Well, I've not been updating, but have had a successful week. I am however, absolutely wiped out after this week, and feel like I deserve a medal for the rstraint I've shown. I cannot wait until tomorrow so I can enjoy 1 or 10 mini stollen bites without guilt. Roll on S day fun. PLus I get a lie in, which will help!

So my weekend was full of mini stollen, and not much good stuff. I actually felt rubbish for it, and didn't get to allow myself to feel ok about my choices. I was very stressed and nothing was going well for me, but this week is ok so far. Yesterday was a big birthday for my mum, so in addition to the main meal, there was bread, olives and cake. I did hold off on the wine though, so that was good. Back on track today, ready fpor a good week. It is our staff party on Friday night, and I'm on holiday next week, so if I can maintain until after Christmas I'll be happy.
