Why is it that the closer you get to your goal weight, the harder it is to stay on track?! You'd think that I would be super focused and excited about getting to where I've wanted to be for years but instead, I just want to drink and eat what I want and then worry about the consequences later!
I haven't fallen off the wagon since yesterday and I am still determined to be good this week but I have now made plans for Saturday night and I just know that it is going to involve a lot of alcohol which will inevitably mean that I will put on weight at the next weigh in. Urgh! Then the following weekend I am going up to Glasgow for a heavy alcohol fuelled time so chances are thin to nothing that I will lose weight that week.
So, now I need to decide... what is more important to me? Enjoying myself or getting to my goal weight? Since starting Weight Watchers I would have always said that getting to my goal weight is the most important thing but right now there is so much that I want to do that this diet lark is just getting in my way!

Off The Beaten Track
Woah, it's getting tough out there in the world of dieting! Having been so so good since getting back from holiday, I fell off the wagon quite spectacularly over the past week/weekend!
You know when you just get one of those hungry days? Well I’m the unlucky one. I get one of those weeks and however hard I try to curb my enthusiasm for eating the crappiest food I can find, I never quite succeed. Oh well, these things are sent to try us! So, having spent the past week eating everything in sight, including popcorn, chocolate, cakes and biscuits (I do like a good binge now and again!), I have decided that going to Weight Watchers to be weighed this evening probably wouldn’t be one of the best ideas I’ve ever had! So, it’s a night off for me!
Thankfully, I am feeling disgustingly bloated and very sick so I don’t want anymore of the crap inside me. My body is learning - this is big news!! Mind you, as much as I want to be focused, I’ve had a few tests this morning - the biggest being offered FREE chocolate croissants and muffins on my way to work! Seriously, when does that ever happen?! Try like never! Bloody diet!! So, it’s full steam ahead. Today I’ve had toast and tea for brekkie, an apple for my mid-morning snack and my lunch was corned beef salad followed by a raspberry yoghurt and I have another apple and a satsuma for later. I also have a weight watchers chocolate bar hidden in my draw if the craving gets too much!
Oh well, you live and learn... and eat! ;)

Down But Not Out!
I’ve been sick since last Tuesday and have been off work since Thursday - including all the Bank Holiday which doesn’t impress me!!
I’ve got a horrid and weird skin infection that has appeared on my face, it's not a good look. I've never suffered with bad skin so to have this thing appear on my chin is not good. I’m miserable and I want to eat.
I tried to stay within my Weight Watchers points allowance last week but because of the skin infection, I wasn’t able to go swimming so instead my sister and I came up with the bright idea of walking 10 miles - to our local High Street and back. BAD DECISION!! I am still in agony! On the plus side though, I’m hurting in places I never knew existed so it must have been fairly good for me!
Since getting back from my 4 week holiday in Turkey and having booked to go back again in October, I set a little target for myself at Weight Watchers - I really want to lose 2lbs a week because then I will have lost another stone by the time I go back. So, I went to weigh in on Monday after being sick and I was really worried because my current enemy (mini eggs) were still being unkind to me! I was desperate to lose 1lb because I had lost 3lbs the week before so I only needed to get to 4lbs to stick to my target so you can imagine how surprised and pleased I was when I got weighed in to find out I had lost 2.5lbs! Woo hoo!! I’m now only 2.5lbs short of what I was before I went on all my holidays 10 weeks ago so I’m very pleased with that!
This week is going to be a struggle because I am still sick so am craving crappy food. I’m also going to the cinema tonight, out for dinner tomorrow night with friends and it’s my Nan's birthday on Saturday so it will be out for dinner again. I also still cant go swimming because of this thing on my face so who knows what will happen on Monday at weigh in.... at least I only need to lose 0.5lb to stick to my target and anything else will be a bonus!
Only 44 days to go until I will be back in Turkey! Bring it on!
