Ive been sticking to weight watchers religiously for the past couple of weeks and was determined to not fall off the wagon. I thought i would be ok seeing as my friend has been on the same diet for a number of years but panic set in when she told me that she was off the diet and wasn't feeling focused. Now, normally this would be like a green light to me to eat and drink what i want but with 3 holidays coming up, i knew i had to take charge and i informed her that i would be getting her back on track and we would try and be as good as possible.
After a 5 hour road trip to get to hers, i was starving but i knew at 9pm it was too late to have a big dinner so i had a couple of slices of toast and then got ready to go out. I slipped up when it came to the alcohol consumption and had far too many but still, i refused to have a burger at the end of the night.
On the Saturday, i insisted that we walked lots so we went to the beach, had a long walk, then went shopping which meant more walking, then had lunch (which was a Boots Shapers wrap and and apple) and then finally settled back at hers for a night of vegging out watching TV, DVDs and having a good gossip, just like old times! She was getting back on track so made us a lovely tomato and bacon pasta bake and i had a big salad with it to fill me up. Afterwards i had a toffee dessert by weight watchers from Morrisons which was definitely better than the chocolate fondue that she had previously thought about!
After dinner, we settled down to watch the TV but i could feel my dinner bloating me so she suggested going for another walk which i was more than happy with, so she got her pedometer down and off we went for a short, 20 minute walk around the block. We managed to burn 50 calories which i was happy with!
When we got back, we stayed up for ages talking and laughing and by about midnight, we were hungry again but instead of eating, we both had an Options Hot Chocolate with a shot of Baileys in... naughty but nice and well deserved!
On the Sunday, i drove back home. Even though i had been the best i could have been, i still felt like i had been naughty so i went for a swim with my dad which felt great. When we came back, i went for a long walk with my mum in the sun because i wanted to claw back a few bonus points. After having a little sleep after all that exercise, mum made a lovely roast beef dinner with loads of 0 point veg so i feasted out on that and then had some pineapple with passion fruit and pineapple sorbet for afters which was very refreshing and low on the weight watchers points! I was happy that even though i had been bad, i could've been a whole lot worse. I was still dreading weigh in on the Monday but knew that i wanted to go and face the music.
So, i had weigh in last night (Monday 25th May) and i was VERY happy to find out that i had lost 1.5lbs. Totally unexpected but very very welcomed! This has made me realise that i can still go out and thoroughly enjoy myself without undoing all the hard work i have done so far.
