Off the rails...

Oh dear.
   Well I'm not going to make any excuses I've been pretty weak this weekend and ruined my hard work because I hadn't trained myself properly.  It isn't because it's difficult because it's not. I proved that to myself when I resisted the chocolate cake my O-H brought home after work, and moving the lads dinner of pizza and chips out of sight while I cooked my no carb lamb breast and didn't even nick a chip. I was just weak and pathetic but I'm only human.

I need to steer well clear of this...

    Saturday night I had some personal stuff to deal with and it all got very emotional and stressful and before I knew it one glass of wine had turned into a whole bottle and then a bottle of wine at midnight turned into a packet of hula hoops. Magic I know but not very impressive. I felt horrible Sunday morning, so disappointed in myself which made me feel worse.

Ska Band - Reel Big Fish

   But I had to cheer up, We had a Reel Big Fish gig to go to last night and I've been waiting since I was like 14 to see these guys live. It was an awesome night, the atmosphere was electric, the people were amazing, and the band were well...they were Reel Big Fish baby! So anyway I have yet another confession, I ended up drinking a few bottles of lager before the gig then had one whilst I was there. I figured it wouldn't be out of my system today so I plan to restart my diet Tuesday morning; when I'm more prepared to get up and start Phase 1 Day one again.

   I have been drinking lot of water today to try and help flush out all the crap again. I've got my salad pots I've been making for lunch all made up and in the fridge ready to go.

Cheesy Celery Coleslaw & Pesto Chicken Salad

I grabbed the pots from our Tesco in town off the antipasto part of the deli. filled them up with olives and now I use them to make salads and coleslaw in!

These two took me 15 mins to make this morning and most of that was making sure the chicken was cooked properly! Here's what they contain:



The Cheesy Celery Coleslaw .
-Grated Gouda   -2 Celery sticks   -1 small carrot   -2 radish   -1/2 tomato   -Tablespoon of Hellmans Mayonnaise
Finely slice all the salad ingredients, mix in the mayo and cheese and voila! A low carb, totally delicious, fresh zingy coleslaw. Try adding some smoked salmon on the side if you need to!





The Pesto Chicken Salad.
-1 chicken breast   -1 Tablespoon Pesto   -1 Tablespoon Olive oil   -Rocket salad   -1 Garlic clove
Slice the chicken and fry in a non-stick pan untill opaque, then add the diced garlic clove & cook until golden.
Mix the tablespoon of pesto with the olive oil to create a dressing like consistency and pour over the salad leaves and add the chicken. You could add bits of crispy bacon or a few olives if you need something salty!

And there you have 2 quick scrumptious salads, Perfect for light lunches!



    Well I have to go get things sorted for Zumba tonight, like something comfortable & fitting, Can't be dancing around with my trousers falling down! Need to get rid of some junk out the room to get me in the right mind set & write out a new shopping list. New me commencing 8am tomorrow morning, Take Two! Let's hope I stick to it this time.

Catch ya later x
