Well I had a pretty disappointing week. The first week I actually gained some weight. Everywhere I went there were temptations. I had to travel for work again and I thought I kept on track but maybe not enough. Working away was really a challenge this week. It even included a full sit down 3 course breakfast with a few hundred colleagues - the tables were full of fruit, yoghurt, cereal and pastries, then waiters brought out the hot plates full of scrambled eggs, bacon, bagels, potatoes and cheese stuffed tomatoes. I found the will power and refused the plate – it felt great not being tempted, I only ate some fruit and yoghurt. I’m sure some of the others at the table were wishing they also said no to the hot food. I think I heard them call me the food police at some time over those couple of days. But it was all good as a couple of the other girls were also trying to lose weight and said that I helped them make better choices than they normally wouldn’t have. Then there was Father’s Day with morning tea and lunch at my parents followed by a meal with the in-laws.

Also I wasn’t able to do any exercise for 3 days because of the hours I was working.  I hate to think how much weight I could have put on if I didn’t have some self control!

This is a new week and I’m going to try and stay positive and make sure I make all the right choices. I will make sure I keep my diary and exercise everyday this week, even if I can only find 20 minutes.
