So, we have had guests here for the past week..... and there went my diet......
But, I went for my weigh in today anyway, explained that we had friends staying from Geraldton, and she had 5 kids, and that I had slipped a little off the bandwagon. She said it was fine, and that I needed to go back to exercising everyday and eating well, and it would all slip off again.
After my little epiphany, I am a lot more comfortable with this. Counting calories and watching portion sizes is something I will have to do for the rest of my life, no question about it. I am a human being, and I will slip up and have bad weeks, but I just need to go back to eating healthy and exercising. I will not be a fattie!
Two things I have realised in the past week:
1. Kewpie Mayonaisse is very, very dense, calorie wise. At 100 calories per teaspoon, it is a definate treat item, not an everyday kinda thing. Ooopsy.
2. Lettuce is very filling in a sandwich and really, really low in calories! A cup of shredded lettuce is only 4 calories. I don't like the tasteof lettuce on it's own, so I have never really bought it very much, but I am really enjoying it in egg and salad wraps. The eggs and a little mayo go well with the crisp lettuce. I know many many people know this, but I have only just figured it out.....give me a break! I am learning!
Go me, I will win this battle!
PS......zumba-ed this morning.....very very fun!
