I gained a whole kilo in one weekend.

It’s true. When Iweighed myself on Friday morning I was maintaining at 74.8 kgs. This is despite the fact that I had done no exercise all week. (My excuse was that i was still tired from having food poisoning the weekend before, but really, that was just an excuse, and not a very good one either. I could have exercised if I’d wanted to.)

So from friday morning, where did I go wrong?

1. I had a friday afternoon binge on biscuits at work. That is discussed in my last post.
2. Since I’d already binged, and I knew I was going to have a relaxed weekend, i continued eating friday night, with two chocolate bars and McDonalds for dinner, and PB toast since I had to buy butter to make cakes.
3. I went to an overnight hen’s party this weekend. It was awesome I had lots of nibblies and lots of Vodka. To be honest though, I could have gotten away with all of that and only had a minor gain it was Friday and Sunday that were the problems. In fact, I don’t think I went overboard on the nibbles the way I might have a few months ago.
4. When I got home on Sunday, I was tired so I had Red Rooster for lunch before I crashed in front of the telly for the evening.

So why a whole kilo? i think some of it may be bloating from the salt and alcohol, and it might go away in a couple of days. But to be honest, only a few little efforts at restraint, and a bit of exercise last week, would have headed off this disaster.

I am going to allow myself to be annoyed and cross with myself about this, and remember how crappy that upward line on my graph looks so that next time i am tempted to let go so completely I will remember it and hopefully think twice.
