Saturday is not a great day to start a diet, but I'd done a full grocery shop of low calorie food and I'm raring to go. The 1350 calories a day diet is now underway.
Luckily it's been a busy day. Up at 9am, out the door by 9.50 to take my son to football. They won (yay) and Son got Man of the Match (double yay).
After that it was straight around my parents house to take Son for the afternoon. This is where I met my first temptation. A waft of heaven greeted my nostrils. My parents were tucking into the following:
Mum: a fried egg and bacon sandwich
Dad: grilled bacon, two sausages, two frieds eggs, grilled tomatoes and he was warming 2 sausage rolls under the same grill.
Hmmm....by this time it was 12.15 and I'd not eaten yet. And before anyone complains I know it is not big or clever to miss out on breakfast. Not eating breakfast weakens you, just like I am feeling weakened by the sight of this grub. However my eyes settle on my lardy parents and I come to my senses...I will no longer be a porker.
I drop off Son, grab my parents shopping list and leave to go shopping with my husband, the wondrous Mr Woo. We go to our local town and I select the following for my lazy parents:
1. Lottery tickets
2. Waterproof plasters
3. A teatowel
4. The Daily Mail
They are too fat to shop for themselves. Thanks heavens for the internet. My mum gets everything from Tesco Online, when she forgets things off the list, I have to nip out. What's wrong with this you may ask? Well step outside my parents house and walk a hop, skip and jump and you come to a food/grocery shop and a newsagent.
Their laziness is my gain. I am walking further than I intended to....infact we're now outside Greggs.
'Want anything?' asks Mr Woo.
Ha, he cannot tempt me, I am strong. I wait outside while he ferrets around for bread pudding. Yes, Mr Woo can resist the delicious pasties and mouthwatering cakes, he wants bread pudding. According to him, it's the blummin best dessert in the whole wide world...yeah right, where's he been in the world?
'Not got any,' he grumbles, mouth downturned and despondent.
We go home and I get to tuck in to:
Branflakes (with semi skimmed milk) 166
One mandarin 20
Mandarin Mullerlight 90
We go out again, firstly to drop off the parents shopping (we can be brief with the parents at this stage because Mr Woo wants to be back to watch England v Wales at rugby) and then up to PC World to drool over Apple products we will never, in a million years, be able to afford.
Back home, I have a bag of Quorn spicy pieces 86 cals and another Mullerlight, the new one, Mint with choc bits 90 cals and I also have two Quorn balls (no jokes please) 102 cals.
England lose at rugby and Mr Woo suggests a takeaway to commiserate.
'Nooooooo!' I yell.
My shrieks awaken our daughter. Our 16 year old daughter of few words.
'Whaatsup?' she grunts, slouching into the room.
'Fancy a takeaway?' asks Mr Woo, furtling through my purse and pulling out a couple of tenners.
Of course she does! They end up with a Chinese while I steam my veggies:
Cabbage 28 cals
Cauliflower 35 cals
Broccoli 14cals
Brussel sprouts20 cals
Leek 6 cals
3 baby potatoes 150 cals
and to go with my veggies - one Quorn peppered steak. 115 cals
It tasted deeeee...vine.
We've got a film to watch tonight and I plan to have a handful of frozen grapes 32 cals and my homemade ice cream 205 cals.
This brings me to a total of 1258 cals .
With two cups of coffee and a drink of Robinsons low sugar squash, I am bringing up the total to 1350 cals.
I weighed 10 stone 10 lbs this morning.
The countdown begins.
