Family Time = Overeating Time

Hi! So I had a little holiday as I had Family over from France and so my time was spent running after little ones and going for walks in the rain! The last few days have been hard work. My mother loves cooking and is not happy until everybody has a plate of something in front of them. On top of that I could tell you exactly how the day goes...

 

10.30am - Arrive for coffee and biscuits

12.00pm - Pre lunch drinks and nibbles

1.00 pm -  Lunch

2.00 pm - After lunch coffee

4.00 pm - Tea and home made cake/scones

6.00 pm - Pre dinner drinks and nibbles

7.30 pm - Dinner with 2 dessert choices

9.00 pm - Coffee and mints/chocolate

 

 

 

I should point out that this is only on special occasions (family coming over/Sunday lunch etc) so it's not everyday but now I don't live at home every time I go over is considered a Special Occasion so I normally fit in between 10.30-4 and normally leave after tea.. but the last 2 days my cousin has been staying with my parents so I have been staying for dinner as well. Pointing all of that is a) v hard and b) v scary!   HOWEVER... I have used all my weekly points already.. but am staying in line for the rest of the week. Today has gone well...it helps that I am not going to be drinking.. I don't have the points to and I really want to cut back.  

 

I have also fixed my "Scale" problem.. I have borrowed an old style set of scales from my parents. When I say old style I just mean that they are not electrical. I got on them this morning and it is reading 203 lbs (14st7lbs) so am happy about that but I am taking it with a pinch of salt as  I have no idea what I really was before and no idea how accurate they are. I will just stick with them moving forward though as it will still record weight going up or down correctly...hopefully more of the down than the up!
