Thoughts on the week that’s been:

I had to mix the Wendie Plan up a bit this week due to a little binge on Sunday, which did throw me a little.

NSV:  I so wanted croissants on Sunday for lunch but I resisted and had a yummy subway sandwich instead!

Food wise:  The week started off  a bit bad – Sunday involved a little binge and Monday evening wasn’t the best either – I am so hungry when I get home and if dinner isn’t nearly ready (hubby is a stay at home dad!) – I tend to craze! which is not good!

The rest of the week was a bit hit and miss as well – I think the lead up to TTOTM hasn’t helped along with a few extra stresses this week

Exercise Wise:  I was only able to walk to work on Tuesday – the weather has not been the best in NZ lately!

Mind Wise: I realised that the little binge on Sunday was due to boredom and not being motivated to do anything – What I need to do now is accept that this is something that I need to work on especially when I am in the house alone!

The week ahead:

I really want to work on getting myself motivated in the evenings to complete some tasks that I have set myself, so I will be looking at ways to motivate me to complete them!

Its not that they are big tasks its just I can’t get muster the energy or enthusiasm to get started, but when I do it energises me to do more and feel like I have accomplished something! – Weird I know!

I also need to reign myself in with my eating and sticking to the points cycling! – I will spend some time later today sorting out a menu for the week.

Five on Friday..........

1. I am grateful for having sick leave so that I could take yesterday off and rest.

2. I am grateful for my job being quiet at the moment so that I didn't come back to a large mess

3. I am grateful for having a nice warm home while NZ goes thru the cold wet part of winter

4. I am grateful for the large wood supply that we have for the fire - courtesy of my brother inlaw

5. I am grateful for the small pleasure of snuggling on the couch with my husband and kids on a cold winters night.

What are you grateful for this week?

Thoughts on the week that’s been:
I continued using the Wendie Plan formula again this week and it has gone well,
NSV: – I was given a Freddo Frog on Friday and it sat on my desk till Tuesday when I used it as part of my +10 day!
I also did the family shopping and did not buy any chocolate bars for a snack!

Food wise: - I am loving my corn thins with banana for my mid morning snack, but I feel that it needs something else with it – so will experiment with that a bit.
I really struggled , funny as it sounds, to eat the 31 points on my high day – I believe this was mainly due to have low point filling foods through out the day (oh the dramas of a weight loss diva!) which is good and bad!

Exercise Wise: - No walking on Tuesday due to a last minute change of plans for hubby. But I have started teams training and my burlesque class which is working the muscles and builds up a sweat!
I did manage to walk on Thursday and Friday so that was good, it helped ease the soreness in my thighs from the burlesque class on Monday night.

Mind Wise: - I am still feeling focussed and with changing up my food intake it will help as well – I am still in the process of decluttering my house and loading up trademe auctions so I am being kept busy there!

The week ahead:
Well the soccer tournament got cancelled again – so the weekend was quiet – the working week – brings nothing different so onwards and downwards!
