Two!

My diet has been rubbish recently and I've put on 2 lbs! Shock horror! My excuses reasons are obvious. Mark's birthday celebration in a hotel with booze, snacks and hotel breakfast. Then my FiL's birthday with pizza. Followed by Valentine's Day and not one, but two Asda meal deals (really good value) full of UPFs though. AND me endeavouring to stay up until 12.30am! My main meal is usually 5.30pm so that's another 7 hours before bed and I get hungry and therefore snack! On top of all this is the fact that not getting enough sleep makes you snack on the sugar! No wonder I've put weight on. Though I will admit it felt very weird as this is pretty much the first time in nearly 3 years that I've put weight on. Holidays have seen wee temporary increases but this feels more permanent, or at least it will be if I don't take action. It's such a shame that I'm addicted to KitKat's just now! 

The 7 hour bed window is working though. I'm getting to sleep quicker, staying asleep and, most importantly, I feel it's quality sleep! I've not had a pill all week which means I'm not walking around like a zombie all day! I feel so much better. 

I missed strength training again this week (no 3). Anna couldn't manage but I was very much planning on going myself. But (there's always a but) I got home from work, sat down to eat and the enthusiasm seeped out of my bones. The sofa was at risk of floating away so I needed to keep it grounded. And I was desperate to finish my Netflix drama which was so good. I promise, with our without Anna, I'll be there next week! I really disappointed myself though. Which is worse than letting other people down isn't it. 

Picture this week is my silly cat sitting in the plastic tub I throw my tea towels in waiting to be washed! 

Have a great week. And the Netflix drama was called 'Unbelievable' and was excellent. Very much recommend. Bye for now x

What doesn't bend, breaks.
