The best laid plans stealthily thwarted by mince pies!

by SuburbanHousewife @ 2008-01-08 - 18:09:44

Well I'm not really going to see any difference for my "small portions" (a new year resolution) if I can't stop eating left over Christmas food.

And my other half isn't helping matters by buying cut price party food every time he visits tesco's.

Still no visits to the gym :(

Thanks to Usksider for letting me know how to do this!

How can this be?

Over the last two years I have gone up two dress sizes, and several people have made coded hints such as "wow, you are looking healthy" (code for "when did you get so fat?". But I regularly weigh myself, and over the last three years my weight has only increased by 1 kilo!

How can this be?

Perhaps I am getting shorter?

Progress so far!

1. Have eated small portions all week.
2. No takeaways
3. Trips to the gym: still none :(
4. Took my own shopping bags to town with me yesterday so I could buy veg from themarket without the use of wasteful carrier bags. Unfortunately, I left them in the car on the top floor of the the multistorey carpark and only realised when I had gone down the eigth flights of stairs to the bottom (tried to retrieve them but my other half thought I had gone insane).
5. Drank two pints of cider. :(

Verdict: Could do better.

Two days back at work

And I have already got my first headache of the new year.

Funny how work manages to do what 2 pints of bitter, 1/2 a bottle of white wine, 1/2 a bottle of rose, and 4 glasses of champagne didn't do on new years eve!

When's the next holiday???? :(

So far so good!

Only ate half a fried breakfast (lunch?) yesterday (well I do have an irrational fear baked beans), and only ate half my usual portion of chese on toast for tea.

Walked to the shops today: Remembered my shopping bag! All vegetables purchase were organic.

So far then:

no booze consumed :)
two meals with smaller portions :)
no wasteful supermarket carrier bags used :)
no trips to the gym :) (oh well, no-one's perfect)

Question is... can I keep it up? It is only day two after all.

My new year resolutions.

I think these must be the most boring yet, but I think they are necessary.

1. To eat smaller portions.
2. To go to the gym at least once a week.
3. To get my work life balance sorted so that I do less work, and spend more time on myself.
4. To decorate the dinning room.
5. To remember to take my shopping bags to Tesco so that I use less plastic bags.
6. To grow more of my own vegetables.
