I let myself be sabotaged - hubby bought home an apple pie last night and I had some of his fries. I didn't beat myself up over it. I had told him that I wanted to lose weight the day before, well today I get home and my son tells me that there is a custard tart for me in the fridge. That's where it's staying until someone else eats it.

This weekend we are going to see a musical that one of our friend's daughter is in, it's Dirty Rotten Scoundrals. I was thinking about going out to buy something to wear, then this morning checked my wardrobe trying on a couple of dresses. A favourite dress from last year was was a little tight is no longer a little tight! Another dress that I wore because it covered my bulges until the day I caught sight of my reflection and realised it made me look like a tent. I do like the dress and when trying it on today realised a belt was all it needed. So after buying 3 belts tonight, el cheapo from Kmart, a plain tan, a plaited tan and a black one. Tried all with the dress and decided the plaited one looks best. So my garment for Saturday night is sorted.

Tonight I got into my wardrobe and started trying on tops, was doing a happy dance in front of the mirror when all the much too tight were only a little tight.

Thanks Robyn for your comment, it's nice to know someone does read this. Carbs are my problem child, I have had success before with low carb eating - until the addiction raised it's ugly head again. Rice is going to be the hardest, I love Sushi.

Have been having fresh fruit smoothies for breakfast, around midday I have a bit of fruit to quell the hunger until my alloted lunch time at work. Today had chicken and Caeser Salad at a cafe but tomorrow it's homemade vegie soup. I keep a one litre water bottle at work, the water filter at work spits out chilled water, I like room temperature, my goal is to empty that bottle by the end of the day. I have hot water with my midday snack, lunch and afternoon tea, extra to the one litre. I am a tea drinker but like to keep my intake down, I haven't bothered replacing my tea stores at work. Right now I have a cup or two a day. Have just finished my cup for today, a delicious tea with Eyebright and Goji.
