A Minor Birthday Blip

I hit a tiny stumbling block this weekend on the diet... well, when i say tiny, it was pretty catastrophic.

Last Thursday my brother and sister had their 26th birthday so there was lots of celebrating. I spent all week being good, eating the right things and exercising as normal, but the end of the week kind of went slightly belly up.

We went out for a meal on Thursday night with the family and the table wasn't booked until 8.30pm. For lunch that day, i only had a bowl of Weight Watchers soup because i knew that i would go over my points in the evening, but in hindsight, i should have had a bigger lunch because by 9.00pm when the food still hadn't shown up, i was literally starving. I ended up having a massive bowl of minestrone soup, followed by a large portion of chicken pasta with garlic bread and then felt obliged to have a small slice of birthday cake. I didn't go massively over my points but because we ate so late, i could feel it getting comfortable on my stomach and even today, i can still feel it there. Grr.

Anyway, i got straight back on the wagon only to fall off it again on Saturday! I was going out on Saturday night for my birthday and also for my brother's and sister's so it was a joint affair and i knew it was going to get messy. I went swimming in the morning to try and limit the damage that i was going to do later in the day, i hope it helped. So, i went out in the evening and i hit the alcohol in style. Approximately 4 jagerbombs, 2 apple sourz and about 10 malibu and diet cokes later, i was sat at home, horrendously drunk, eating toast. My only saving grace was that i danced loads and didn't have the burger afterwards. Surely that must count for something?!

Yesterday, even though i was horrendously hungover and badly wanted to stodge to soak everything up, i was super good, only had tomatoes on toast for breakfast and roast lamb for lunch with no snacking. I also somehow managed to do 100 sit-ups because i had forgotten to do my 50 in the morning.

I have weigh in tonight at Weight Watchers and i am dreading it. I have really been focused and good on the diet in recent weeks and while i know that i will have put a bit of weight on, i just pray that it isn't too much.
