the biscuit aisle

by crikey my will power was tested yesterday!

i was in my local supermarche when i got the worst sugar craving of the year!

i thought perhaps there was something bread-like to munch on but decided against it, then i thought perhaps a juice will stave off this orrible craving - but this took me past the cakes - oh jeez how i looked longingly at them cupcakes! haha

sufficient to say i've still not kicked my post-chrimbo sugar habit!

i been all angry and narky last week and now i realise why, its the sugar junkie me asking 'show me the biscuits!'

i will not let mr sugar beat me! i'm having grapes at the cinema later and if it means having a spoonful of honey after my dinner tonight then so be it!

and my top tip for sugar hankering in supermarkets? a natural snack bar thankyouverymuch

phew!

spicy cheese on toast

oh god.
one week after all festive nonsense is officially over and i've only managed to lose 1lb, which in my book counts for nothing1

and i know the problem...
cheese!

i've been re-aquainted with the evil dairy loveliness that is cheese at various festive events and the pure fat product has gone straight to my hips! haha
on saturday night we busted out the leftover spicy cheese from our NYE do and had spicy cheese on toast and cheesy nachos! omg!
i didn't just fall off the cheese wagon, i don't even know what the wagon looks like! haha
but you know what - its freakin cold and i'm only human and i don't like to waste stuff and we're almost out of xmas goodies to munch on so the future is bright!

hopefully!

i did have some cherry beer at the weekend that i probly shouldn't have but heck it was warming in the sub-zero london temperatures! haha

right now i'm trying to make a cherry tomato and sweet pepper soup...
now that sounds healthy right?!

no more biscuits resumes normal activity asap! haha

new year new pounds

well it had to happen...

i knew i had got away pretty light for what i'd put away over Christmas... 2lbs was not the final figure for chrimbo weight gain - nope, i had a cheese & wine party or two to go to after that initial week! haha so another 2 lbs i did put on!

and with all the festive leftovers lying around the kitchen i'll not deny its difficult to get off the chocolate wagon, however i am back in the groove having took my sorry self to the gym saturday, today and for the rest of time! haha

its amazing how quickly all your good work can come undone! i was xmas shopping one week, in bed with the flu the next, away for xmas for the next and the gym is all but a pipe dream! my personal trainer would not be impressed! but as soon as i could i was back in the gym (Dec 30th actually! haha)

2009 i will be the best i can be! haha tony robbins would be proud! those FOUR Christmas pounds will be gone by the end of.. um, let's see, easy does it... er, February! hehe

now where are rest of those festive nuts... hehe
