mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  No Salsa-cise last night 

DH is my saboteur at the moment.  I got this word from a recent WW meeting, talking about who can help to ruin all your good work, and my DH is offering me temptations I am finding difficult to resist 

When he asks what's for dinner, I know what I have in mind is that last thing he wants to come home to 

So far this week I wanted to do a WW beef stir fry with noodles, but he doesn't like noodles, so we had fish and chips instead (I had very little chips, but lots of salad with my fish)  Last night I wanted to do WW lamb casserole, which I was going to prepare and dish up after doing my salsa-cise, but DH didn't fancy that either, so we went out for a meal instead, which meant no exercise and no WW meal 

We already have 2 meals booked for the weekend, so to go out last night as well was very naughty, and once there I became my own saboteur, by not choosing 'wisely'

For starters I chose the chef's special Japanese Won Tons and sweet chilli sauce. They were not what I expected, infact if that was the chefs special, then I'm a chef, and thats saying something !!  For main I chose red snapper, on mash potatoe.  The potatoe being the naughty bit, but I love mashed potatoe, I really find that hard to resist.  We even went on to share a desert, although I did feed most of it to my DH.  BUT we shared a bottle of fizzy stuff, DH was using the excuse that it's his birthday on Sunday, and that something else I find hard to resist.

So, I woke up this morning thinking 'what's the point?'  I felt guilty about last night, disappointed I didn't get to my salsa-cise and know I am away the weekend so I won't be able to get to the gym until Monday.

I couldn't be bothered to go to the gym like yesterday, but I did get up at 6.30am and do half hour of my DVD.  I am glad I did, because I know I would be cross with myself all day if I hadn't.

So, as you can see, this is getting harder.  I have come this far, and have lost this weight, and yet I have been on lots of evenings out, so I know I can loose weight and go out, but I am starting to make the wrong choices, I hope the little devil on my shoulder isn't planning on coming with us this weekend

I need a push .....

Have a nice Friday

wow... is it friday, really?!?

 ahhhh poor mumma.... youll be fine. your 'good' at going to the gym. just gotta get back into that now. x

Supporters NOT Sabateurs

Is what you need.

Ok, so last night you went out, and this w/e you're out twice, so what. It's one weekend ... enjoy it, but as you say make some "good" choices too. For the meals you're not going out, eat lightly,

WRT to DH and what he does / doesn't want to eat .... explain to him that you need to do this for yourself, and you need his support. Sit down and make a plan for the week as to what you both want to eat. If he changes his mind, he can go sort himself out. Don't let him be your excuse.

You will not "Fail" at this, you've come too far. We all have bad weeks, I should know, LOL!!

Have a good day today, and don't beat yourself up, it's so not worth it.

You exercised at 6:30 .... that in itself is totally awesome, I was probably snoring, LOL!

 

 

Mine too

I feel the same way with my DH.  Now, it's not anything he says, but I know he isn't looking forward to that spinach fritatta that I had planned.  LOL!  So I "let" him have the idea to go out.  But really, it's me.  I am my own worst saboteur.  Great word, BTW!

I think what Zed42 says is.....

Very true if he doesnt want what you want.  Let him do his own.

I would love to be uplifting and motivating for you today but if you read my blog you may feel you have done a good job so far in comparison !!

Speak soon Bud

xx

I hope you are doing well on your weekend away

I have been letting my fiance be my saboteur.  He would happily support me, but I won't let him

We do have separate meals most nights - is that an option for you?

Heya!

my dh is the same way.  it makes it so hard sometimes.....well most of the time!  Maybe you can sit down together to plan meals?  we get in fights sometimes because of this.  It's so stupid.  lol.
