Well I did say goals were not my forte!

Current weight 14st 5.5lbs
Fat 45%

Week loss 1lb & 1%
Total loss 4lb & 1%

So the day after my blog we go out to celebrate my daughters half birthday (she was born on Christmas Day so we have always celebrated on 25 June...yep yada yada yada. Lots of folk don't agree with it, but hey I do.) So off we went to my current favourite ever restaurant/eatery Thaik Hun. I ordered the most delicious dish Tad Phai, Thai Pad Pad Thai! With a cocktail. Then a glass of wine, when someone at the table piped up 'Hey, I thought you were abstaining?' Ha ha I had completely forgotten! I gave the rest of my wine to my hubby and I've been good the rest of the week.

But there you go, I set a goal and I failed within 48 hours. But failure here is not an option. And I lost 1lb so did I fail? In fact I'm removing that word from my dictionary. I had decided not to drink alcohol but I did. Who have I let down? Nobody but myself? Well I don't feel let down because I enjoyed a gorgeous cocktail, thank you very much!

And look at the words I chose 'I've been good...' so when I'm not good I'm bad? Well I don't think I like those words either. Obviously some foods are more conducive to losing weight but that doesn't mean some foods are bad, and it definitely does not mean that I'm bad. I don't want to be good or bad, I'm just me. Trying to be a decent person, trying to lose weight, and I'll continue to make food choices based primarily on those things that will assist my weight loss and health, but at the same time sometimes choosing that coconut ice cream with smarties!!

Well I was going to talk about how I got so fat (coconut ice cream with smarties is only part of the story), but I got side tracked and I don't want to bore you lol. So next week?

Oh and BTW I'm out tonight and I WILL be drinking alcohol! 

This week I've learnt to listen to my gut instincts.

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got.
