Seriously fallen off the wagon there!

[Foodie87]

So for Thursday I was hoping to keep my snacking at bay while driving up north, it worked alright-ish and my planned Thai dinner luckily only came with a small portion of rice. But I probably don't want to know how many calories there were in my peanut-sauce based curry! It was amazingly tasty though! 😊

Then yesterday was spent standing in a queue for most of the day, started snacking on low-calorie fruit and cereal bars but then as it so happens, where you're queuing with like minded people for a concert you wonder off... So went to a coffee shop and while managing a "skinny latte" with "no sugar syrup" I also picked up a slice of chocolate and orange cake - 500 calories! 😱

And so the vicious circle began - stopped off at a fast food outlet on the way back to the hotel for a cheeseburger and chips!

Although not having drunk a drop of alcohol - standing and then bouncing around for what seemed like hours on end and very little sleep on Thursday and Friday night made me feel "hungover" this morning.

I so far consumed a rasher of bacon, 2 hash browns, some scrambled eggs, mushrooms, ketchup, a big-ish packet of ridge-cut crisps, a cereal bar, a small bagel, an absolutely massive chocolate muffin I took from the breakfast buffet at the hotel and some blueberries!!!

This is about my weekend's calorie allowance and then some before Saturday lunchtime! 😱😱

I'm just gonna go and hang my head in shame. 😳😞

:-)- all in the past -nothing to be done- move on

My aching calves disagree! 😉

Hi Foodie87,

Don't hang your head in shame! So you had a few extras over the weekend - it's definitely not the end of the world, and as we all agreed when you were talking about your fantastic kms 'around the world and back' almost, it's a good job the world is round and not flat - you're still on it, and you're phenomenal, Foodie - just enjoy the remainder of the weekend, and have a great afternoon! (That may sound a bit cryptic to anyone who hasn't read your previous posts about kicking kms etc, so apologies if anyone's reading that and thinking it's gobbledegook - but you know what I mean, Foodie!!).

Like suzybenj says, it's in the past already!

Hope your aching calves will recover soon - look after yourself and maybe rest your muscles for a day!? I always have a rest day, it really helps - and I think mine might be Monday - when I'm doing the weigh-in.

Agreed Lowcal. I might destroy a bath bomb and soak for a few minutes.

Might write the weekend off altogether and have a eat-athon for the next 30-ish hours.

[Zest Healthy BMI in reply to Foodie87]

Hi Foodie87,

The bath bomb soak sounds fantastic! Maybe just contemplate things and then decide on how you want to progress with the weekend.

Enjoy your bath.

I've got mainly heathy stuff in the house, so won't be too bad - back home now - so a bit safer than out on the road! 😊

[Zest Healthy BMI in reply to Foodie87]

Good to hear!

[Caz28]

sounds like you've been enjoying yourself lol! Don't beat yourself up about it, tomorrow is another day, sure you will get back on track 😊

[Foodie87 in reply to Caz28]

Thanks Caz. Luckily certain people don't come around every day! 😉

It is probably no consolation to you but your post made me laugh. I like the honesty of your 'confession' and love the list of foods consumed.

It sounds like you had a very good time!

In the spirit of sharing and halving the shame, I confess to enjoying half a late given Easter egg, some white chocolate buttons and a mars bar the other day. I did do a huge amount of gardening that day but I'm not sure I can even attempt to justify that it burned off that amount of chocolate. Oh how easy it is to slip off the path....

However I am picking my self up with grit and determination.

I am rebooting the 12 week plan from Monday (just have a little trip to Paris to get through first).

Gave a great week ahead!

[Foodie87 in reply to Seuzan]

Thank you. Shame shared!

Enjoy Paris!! I've last been last March (another concert!) but managed to stay on track quite well... Did a lot of walking and not so much eating, helped by the fact the hotel didn't include breakfast!

My trip to the French countryside in September was certainly worse "diet" wise!

[IndigoBlue61]

I am in a similar place after two weeks away and a week of visitors with lots of alcohol and fish and chips yesterday 😬

But onwards and downwards, be kind to yourself, 😊 You have earned a rest day to ease your aching legs, you will soon be back on track 😊

Best wishes 😊

[Foodie87 in reply to IndigoBlue61]

Thanks Anna. All a lot better today. Already walks 7 miles this morning (that's nearly twice of what I did yesterday!) and so far only had breakfast - nothing naughty going on here! 😉

Sooooo thirsty though, think I just really dehydrated myself Thursday/Friday!

Hope you enjoyed your fish and chips, I managed to resist that temptation so far! 😉

[IndigoBlue61 in reply to Foodie87]

I did really enjoy! Small fish and about 6 chips and I was full!! All washed down with glass of Proseco ! Lol 😊 But back on track today - THAT is the difference for me this time, have an odd day (or week) of indulgence but get right back to it 😊 Actually looking toward to a few days of fruit, salad and no booze! Who would have thought it? 😊 Onwards and downwards 😊
