Get a Grip

I started this Blog because I thought publicly humiliating myself and my eating habits would help me.
The past two weeks I think it is safe to say I am
disgusted in myself. I will not even go into what I have eaten today.
I have been slacking from the gym too. I have been going but I don't feel like I have been working very hard.
Well that is it. I am sick of telling myself at the beginning of the week that I will be good this week and then by the weekend I
over indulge beyond belief.
My enemies of the day
Now, I have no desire to be stick thin, hungry and missing out on food but I need some
self control.
Believe it or not some of the healthiest meals I cook are my favourite. It is the snacking I need to control. Chocolate and cereal are my worst enemy.
I am horrendous with biscuits but since I stopped buying them I seem cured. A chocolate bar or chocolate mousse is all too easy to pick up and I will not give up my cereal.
Cereal is my favourite thing in the world. I could live on it.
Yes you may say you could be eating worse things but it is the quantity that is the problem.
Most of my cereals are healthy, oats, Special K and Alpen which I adore on a morning and intend to stick to eating.
I believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day and is the best time to indulge. So I need to remember that when I go for a bowl of Frosties at 9pm.
As I said in a previous post, I have made two big batches of soup. That is lunch sorted. I have also planned dinner time meals.

Monday: Tomato and basil chicken with salad. 20 minute run on the treadmill, ab weights and Zumba.
Tuesday: Fish and steamed vegetables, 1 hour 30 minutes gym routine.
Wednesday: Spiced chicken and quinoa salad, 1 hour 30 minutes gym routine
Thursday: Soy glazed Tuna with spiced steamed vegetables and 45 minute spin class
Friday: Homemade pasta, pesto and scallops, 1 hour 30 minute gym routine
Saturday: 3 mile run and cottage pie.
Sunday: Rest day and carvery.

I will stick to this, snacks will be fruit and nuts which I will constantly have to hand and I will make a mango mousse for dessert on Saturday for being good. (If I am good). I feel more determined then ever to stick to this. I feel I am letting the Blog down as I started it and have barley reported anything good. Wish me luck and I will update daily.

Eat smart this week folks.
