Day 17 - Disappointed in Me

Weekly weight in this morning and I am disappointed.  Not that I was expecting any different, but I am disappointed in myself.  Made some bad decisions the last few days and it's showing on the scales.  Time to "Chin Up Butter Cup" and get back into it again!  I've been pretty close to perfect on the exercise front, it's just on the eating (and drinking) side of things where I have been letting myself down.  Just dug out the inspiration board we did in week 1 to try get inspired again.  I really do like it - just need to remember to look at it, and repeat those sayings in my head.  I've made it my desktop background, so now I will see it all the time. The most pertinent ones for this week:

• Do not reward yourself with food, you are not a dog
• When I eat like crap, I feel like crap 
• You are not hungry you are bored - learn the difference!
• Think about why you started

We went to a whisky and sherry tasting last night.  I knew we probably shouldn't go, but we've been talking about going to one of the Oak Barrel events for ages, and I knew it would be good and that Greg would really enjoy it, so with those excuses made in my head off we went.  And it was great!  Tasted some amazing whiskys and matched sherries - all pretty hard to get hold off, and all so good!  One whisky in particular you can't even buy - it came from a guys cellar as a donation!  And one of the sherries was so incredibly good!  We spent a bit of money too as of course had to buy some...

The sherry tasting in itself, though not great wasn't too bad.  But then we were both a little boozy and it was getting late and we didn't want to cook (so lazy!).  So... we went out for dinner.  We did choose Japanese over Mexican (good decision!) though we still ordered and ate WAY too much.  So dumb!  Especially when we have all this lovely fresh healthy food at home just waiting to be cooked into perfect Michelle Bridges meals.  Need to make better decisions!

I've just gone through and revised my plan for the rest of the week to replace a couple of the meals we'd planned for later in the week with the ones we haven't yet cooked.  The funny thing is I'm really looking forward to trying them.  So silly to not cook them cos feeling lazy.

I do need to remember and start recognising better when it's that time of the month (now!).  I'm always a bit more pathetic.  The problem is I never seem to recognise it until it's too late, and realise that might be why I'm making these bad decisions.  Hopefully that is the reason, and I'll be over it in a couple of days and feeling much more like being "good" and the weight will drop too, and it will get easy again.  If not, well too bad!  I'm doing this for me!

To inspire me to just keep at it!
