Feeling unsure



Grilled chicken, sweet potato mash, spinach and broccoli 
I was pleased to find out that even after a chubby week of indulgence last week my weight was virtually the same.
I had just gained an extra couple of pounds that I thought would be easy to shift.
Now I haven't exactly been the
health queen this week, but I don't think I have eaten too badly and I thought I might have lost a pound. Sadly not.
It was a colleagues birthday this week so the first failure was cake.
Caterpillar cake, which I kept control of my portion size.
But on the other hand my meals were incredibly healthy and my snacks were all fruits and nuts.
I also discovered on Wednesday
sweet potato. How I have never had this before I do not know.
I love chicken done on the George Foreman Grill but sometimes just chicken and veg needs something
sloppy with it. Well instead of my usual baked beans I had mashed sweet potato. I tell you now my taste buds came alive and it was my favourite thing on the plate. New found love, that's for sure.
It was a
delicious, healthy nutritious dinner.
My second win this week came when I woke up yesterday morning at 6:50am to go for a run. I managed to tell myself no I'm not but then in the same 10 seconds I went on Twitter and gained
 Tweetspiration from a number of health pages I follow.
I got my ass out of bed and went for a run and I felt great for it. I managed a steady 2.5 miles and I was glad I did it. Especially as I was going out for a
curry and drinks after work.
Calorific! I had a lamb Tikka so not healthy at all and a couple of glasses of wine and to top it off, when I came in I had a bowl of Frosties.
I know there are worse snacks out there but
cereal is my nemesis in the evening. I am addicted.
So I was very disappointed with myself when I woke up this morning. I consumed well over 2,000 calories yesterday which is a lot for me.
Not please but today I will make a batch of
homemade soup.
Very healthy, nutritious and filling.
I will put the recipes up later.

Have a healthy day!
