A weekend write off

So I have gone a few days without posting, I resigned myself to the fact that the weekend was going to be a write off
I have mixed emotions with myself right now. I do know though, I AM HUNGRY.
It all began when my dad, who seems to use my visits as an excuse for a take away ordered us a Chinese.
Now, what I am pleased about is, for the first time in my life I wasn't greedy with my take away. I had one serving and I didn't give myself enormous portions and I was pleasantly full rather than totally stuffed.
It didn't get much better from there though. I was persuaded to go drinking way too easily. Drinking = sugar = sugar cravings the next day.
Saturday I spent the day hungover and didn't run. That is fine, I used it as my rest day but I ate quite a lot of shit food. Although, I have to say, not as much as I have previously when hungover. (Small victory).
Sunday I was incredibly pleased with myself all day. I got up and had the best run yet, I did three miles effortlessly. We then went out for a carvery, not the best but not the worst. The thing is it was an awkward time. 4:30pm to eat? I was starving again by 9. 
All week I was at home in Yorkshire visiting family so at 8pm I set off back to Cheshire (Where I now reside) and took with me some car treats. 
Percy and his friends are not my friend
Percy bloody pigs! They look small, cute and innocent but these sweet treats are bad! You can't just have a few. The curse of Percy. Of course this quick fix sugar, as we all know ruins you.
After carting 10 bags up and down three flights of stairs to my top floor flat my blood sugar levels were so low I thought I would fall back down again. So Cheerios and noodles (not together) were my saviors. At 10pm!
Today however, was a new day and a new week. I have written out a food plan and intend to stick to it.
Whereas I am angry at myself for missing out on the gym and Zumba class (I never skip exercise on a Monday) I am comfortable in knowing that you should not force yourself to exercise if you really don't want to that day.
I have also had a very healthy eating day. I have eaten 1,200 calories (my daily goal) and they have all come from fruit and vegetables. Predominantly. 
I am dreading getting on the scales tomorrow. I can cope with 2 or 3 additional pounds, I can't expect less after the greedy week I had but anymore will break me. 
Overall I feel this week is going to be a good week, I feel positive. I CAN DO IT.
