Difficult week, much to learn!

Well, I haven't posted for a week. The past week has been extremely difficult - I don't know why - if I did I wouldn't have made so many bad choices with food. It was busy, but that hasn't stopped me in the past.

Today I have looked really hard at my goals. I don't think I need to change them - maybe I have to reduce them.

It was weigh in morning and my weight stayed the same, but I do expect my follys of the past week to show up next week. You can't eat whole blocks (not just 1) of chocolate and not have some repercusions. However, it is too late to worry about what is past, and I must move forward.

On an exercise note - I swam twice last week, both good tough workouts the first of 2.1km the second of 2.5km and I will swim thisafternoon too and aim to swim 2.5 again as I've had 2 days off, my body should be relatively fresh.

Walked 4km thismorning - and might stick to the 4km for a while - 5km was taking too long and making it too difficult to deal with children issues, homework, getting to school on time etc!

It is now 5 months until the World Masters Games. I have to up my swimming just slightly from 2 times a week to a more regular 3 times a week.

Todays food plan:

Breaky: 1 crumpet with jam followed later by 1/4 cup natural muesli with 1.5 cups sliced rockmelon and 80g low fat fruit yoghurt (6)

Lunch: 6 rice thins with small spread of philly extra lite spread and vegemite. 1 cob of corn and pumpkin soup. (7)

Dinner: last nights leftovers - delicious beef stew with carrot, onion and mushroom. (recipe later). Mashed potato on side (mashed using skim milk - no butter). (5)

Snacks: apple (1), carrot and cucumber sticks (0), small banana (1).
