1 month on

The last few days have been solid diet days. Not the easiest time ever though. Monday I was craving some bad stuff. This is probably due to having 1.5 cheat days, plus too many drinks over the weekend. I felt tired Monday night, and it really would have been easy to snack out a bit, but I laboured through it. Tuesday is normally a non-drinking zone, but I convinced the wife into a bottle of white wine (I had 1.3 glasses), then continued to have 2 red wines. This was mostly due to a work promotion for me, so a little celebration, still no snacking. Felt a cold coming on then, and 2 days later that is in full effect. Yesterday was prettty solid, but meals this week have been poorly thought out, so I'm missing ingredients, had no planned dinner, no planned lunch today, nor a planned dinner tonight. A bit of extra work saw a steak dinner, and I also marinated chicken for todays lunch and tonights dinner, which should be fine.

Positives are easy to find here. My wife cheated herself last night with a big sized packet of chips, one of my favourites, but I declined. I also like that I didn't just join in the kids pasta dish when I had no easy options, nor did I break when I had no clear signs of lunch or dinner today. I'm very happy with all of this.

It's technically 1 month on today, I guess I should do the one month weigh in, probably do that tomorrow. I feel like I've made huge progress body wise, and I expect the scales won't be harsh even though I had 1.5 cheat days in the last week. I'm still undecided about cheat day this week, as Friday is a lunch at work, and probably cake, and at night is a preschool halloween party. I would like to minimise harm at both these things though, and still make Saturday the bad day. Perhaps I'll just have the barest of bad foods at these things, no cake/sweets etc and still make Saturday the bad day. I have to make that decision very soon.
