I always seem to want to sabotage myself. I met a one week goal and it feels like that is sufficient – so these last 2 nights have not been good in terms of eating and drinking. I do need to reframe being here at the chalet from a license to relax and do whatever I want to it being a part of my week with a need to pay attention to things just as much as a regular ‘work day’ at home.

So back at it today

• breakfast was oatmeal and blueberries
• lunch will be a side salad
• dinner will be turkey zucchini skillet on spaghetti squash
• a round of body pump today and 2 dog walks totally 4k
• a tea tonight with tv – need to have a dry Friday to avoid the extra calories and make up for last night.

I also need to focus on my remaining work. It has been hard to be engaged knowing I am leaving g in a few weeks. but can’t wait for this to be my full time job!

A few other thoughts for today:

• I love trying new recipes but I need to divide each by at least 2. I can’t eat the same thing 4 days in a row and I don’t like throwing out food
• I need to have a non-negotiable hot drink before I consider any wine – cant lose weight if I don’t also cut the calorie count of wine
• I simply can’t have cocktails anymore – not ‘try’ to avoid – although had become a pandemic favourite I need to adjust to lose weight
• I am simply going to do.
