Well!
This has been an interesting couple of days! Challenges galore and the ole belly is sure feeling it!
Food wise yesterday,I was so well behaved and just a little sore after my great workout with Tash on Thursday night.
Anyway, as I said, I WAS doing well. That was until I had a friend, whom I haven't seen in several months, call me from the local pub and ask me out for a drink with a few of our mutual girlfriends. Seeing as I had no kids at home, they weren't scheduled to be home well after lunch the following day,and I hadn't had a messy night out in I can't remember how long, I decided that it wasn't such a bad idea.
So there I was down at the pub, insisting on a diet coke when there lands a Bundy rum right in front of me."Drink it up then!" says my friend."I'm only here for a few weeks so don't give me your diet crap." LOL! Unfortunately, the combination of peer group pressure,my fave drink and the fact that it would probably at least another 6 months before I get to do this again, meant that it was bottoms up for me! Woohoo. It was the first of what would be approximately 6 bottles of Bundy and Cola ( Oh. One of them was actually bourbon which my husband got for me. Even though I don't drink bourbon!)
There goes the healthy eating hey!? There I go blowing around 750 calories on booze!
Now I know that I said that I wasn't going to count calories, however, I decided to see how bad the damage was and what steps had to be taken today to rectify it at least somewhat! In total, I had consumed approximately 1400 calories for the day. Not too bad considering I am supposed to be on 1200 a day. A 200 calorie deficit was all that was really needed today in order to get things back on track.
I woke to a growling stomach that was craving a big feed up, as one does after a night on the booze, and decided to make a full cooked breakfast for the 3 adults still in the house.
Bacon, eggs,toast,tomatoes,mushroom,onion and baby spinach. YUMMO! I did it all sensibly, loading up mostly on the vegetables and making sure that my egg was poached and not fried.
As breakfast this morning was at around midday, I wasn't really hungry again until dinner time. Our neighbor, Sam, had been over most of the day enjoyng a relaxing afternoon with us on the front deck and suggested that we cook up some fresh fish that he had on the Webber for dinner! AWESOME!!! Healthy and delicious. So now, here I am at the end of day 6, Week 1, blogging about both today and Day 5, Week 1 , feeling worse than I could have felt, but proud that I managed to only consume around 700 calories today, giving me a total deficit of 500 calories which more than makes up for yesterdays crazy indescretions( In theory)! LOL. Just hope the tape measure agrees with me come Monday!
Wish me luck!

You and I are two peas in a pod when it comes to the calorie thing honey and so, as much as I would like to hit you over that pretty little head of yours with the rubber mallet - I wont! Yet another great blog apart from the EEEEWWWWWW Fish LOL. Looking forward to reading up on Day 7. XOXO CK
Its been fun following each others progress this way! I won't make a habit of the calorie counting thing however, this was a well understood exception to the rule I suppose! LOL.
Mwah xoxo
