Then and Now

What a laugh we had in the office at tea-break today. Conversation was all about food from our childhood, most of us were kids in the seventies, and I noticed the common theme was "heavily processed".

Ahh the memories of crispy pancakes, king ribs, foreign foods such as ravioli from a tin alphabetti spaghetti, french bread pizza to name but a few. Frequently followed by angel delight or arctic roll or jam roll 'n' custard.

I actually cannot remember the last "ready made" main meal I ate, but suspect it was probably a WW lasagne from several weeks/months ago.

Thats another thing about WW - suddenly we are all "chefing" and into making our food from scratch. Even the most inexperienced cooks would be hard pressed not to follow a typical WW recipe.

Anyhow, I am having a good week points and exercise wise this week. I am at my midway point till next WI and I decided on Sunday that the Sneaky Peaks that have been getting out of hand - daily checks am and again at pm - were going to be cut out. Then I panicked and promised myself that I would cut them down - cutting out altogether seemed too much to bear.

Well I managed 2 days without peaking and blew it unintentionally this morning. Got up still a bit sleepy, went to loo then stood on scales!!!! I wasn't in my right mind, I tells ya. Anyhow, I am down a whole quarter pound. Just as well there are 3 whole days left to go then and TOTM will have passed by then too. Honestly hacked off at doing that this morning - it has actually been liberating just assuming that because I am doing all the right things the scales will deliver justice whether or not I am SP'ing.

Of course, if I was really really determined not to fall off the No SP wagon again, I would move the scales somewhere else wouldn't I................................? Maybe when I'm feeling stronger.
