Daily Diary Saturday 19th May 2018

[Salcheq]

Dear Daily Diarists, hello and welcome if you're new here.

Please tell us all what you will be eating on Saturday, with calories if you're counting and exercise you've got planned.

My day tomorrow is rather simple, as I'm away on a city break to Bristol, which I'm really looking forward to.

So, it looks like this:

Brunch - hotel breakfast, so that'll keep me going all day - cooked breakfast and fruit - I'll allow 800 calories

Dinner - most likely a pub/italian restaurant somewhere. I'm going to go for fish and/or salad, and allow another 800 calories.

I have apples packed for snacks.

Exercise - walking miles around Bristol!

So, today's thought is one I have to keep reminding myself. I have recently been fairly absent from the forum, due to a combination of having my house rewired, and a huge amount of reasons for eating out. What I have learnt from the experience, is that without forward planning, I still have very little self control and eat way too much.

Initially I became quite upset, as it seemed that I'm never going to develop good eating habits. But then I always take myself back to the fact that it took me years and years to build my bad habits, it will take me just as long to rebuild better ones. So, it is a slow slow journey, and that's okay. I did notice that I generally choose healthier food now, and I have kept exercising right through the last couple of week, where as previously I would have given that up too.

I won't be around a huge amount tonight and tomorrow, so please chat amongst yourselves, and make sure you comment on at least one other person, ideally the one before you, but better still, have a good old chat with everyone!!

Wishing you all a wonderful Saturday.
