Falling off the food wagon

I have had the worst food weekend for awhile "gulp". OK it started on Thursday (I know not technically the weekend). I had my annual appointment with my Ankylosing spondylitis consultant, it went incredibly well!! My body measurement had improved by 0.2, which means all the painful yoga etc is worth it and then my actual session with the consultant was brilliant, it's lovely to have him grinning ear to ear at me rather than looking concerned and like he's about to tell me my puppy has died. Basically he is really pleased with my progress especially the changes to my diet and exercise. Reducing gluten and meat especially red meat has really helped my fatigue and daily yoga has increased my flexibility. So basically keep up the good work was the message of the day.... So how does one keep up the good work I hear you ask.... Well with Krispy Kreme donuts then a huge burger at the cosy club of course!!! Oh the irony....

All I can say in my defence is (1) I was celebrating (2) my bestfriend is a bad influence..... Ok maybe not the second one.

So Friday..... To be honest had a crap day at work, followed by missing shopping being delivered so my way to deal with it.... Stomp off to chip shop with the attitude of we don't have take away that often! So my kids thought they had died and gone to heaven and sank their teeth into good old fish and chips.

Saturday....much the same awful food choices but managed not to suck my kids into my bad weekend and food blip. Day started well with boiled eggs, I loooovvveee boiled eggs, major nostalgia moment! 

Sandwiches for lunch and fruit snacks, then the kids had jacket potatoes for their dinners while I allowed my evil husband to convince me take away pizza and a film was a great idea.... Oh and don't forget the cider... Doh!

So today I woke up with the biggest food guilt I've had for awhile, and I do what i always do, I over compensate. Cereal for breakfast followed by everyone off swimming, oh yes we'll burn these calories off! Then my eldest had a party to go too, which was at an activity center, so yet more exercise, and afterwards I dragged her food shopping with me. I use fitbit and by now I've met my step requirements. I had already rang home and gave my instructions for dinner, roast lamb, mmmmmm. My husband turned the oven on to slow roast while I shopped. Then here comes the most OTT thing I did, I came home prepared the vegetables and put them in the steamer. I have an ace steamer that you can time each section and it also keeps everything warm for 40 minutes after. So while that's cooking I go cycling.... Oh and here's the best bit, it's 'spitting' rain but I think oh it will be ok......

I was saturated!!!! The 'spitting' turned to torrential rain. I had to get a hot shower to warm up!

When I came down all I had to do was serve the food and I can tell you roast lamb and vegetables was just what the doctor ordered!

Now lay here on sofa trying to convince myself to turn pc on and write my report for work tomorrow..... Been a bad but good weekend :-)
