20:42pm

Naughty aren’t I? I know I didn’t blog last night. But guess what? I got out there and exercised! Me and Lewis went walking around the country-side for at least an hour and a half, and even though I didn’t do my evening exercises I didn’t care, because I walked hard.

Last night I just could not get motivated at all. I’m just glad that I did it, or else I would have been really disappointed. My food inventory wasn’t too bad at all until dinner either, because all I had eaten was:

· A Special K Bliss bar

· A Fox’s Jam Cream biscuit (bad I know, but so worth it!)

· A mango

· A mug of ‘mingy tea’ (downed even quicker than usual because Lew was rushing me)

And then . . .

· HALF of a pasta bake which was intended for four people . . .

· Half a bottle of red wine . . .

And for the killer:

· Half a bar of Galaxy Cookie Crumble

· Half a Milky Bar

As I said, I was doing ok until dinner, but realistically I did more cardio in my walk than I normally would have done (by about 30 minutes) and I got a little workout later on, but let’s not talk about that.

Moving on. Today was a new day! I had my lush Special K Mint flavoured Bliss Bar on the way to Macclesfield with my Grandparents. We had quite the mooch around, and I was really good. Even when we walked past a massive market stall covered with my ultimate weakness, cheese. Even when we saw a load of fresh, hot pasties in the market bakery. EVEN when we went into Peggy Anne’s. Well actually, that last one is a bit of a lie, as I had one Strawberry Flyer (you know the yummy ones with the fizzy sherbet inside) and a Cola Lace. But that’s not too bad, is it?

And then came the picnic . . . we stopped at Rudyard Lake, which by the way is one of the most beautiful places I know. We set up our little picnic blanket out, started to pour all of our goodies out of the bag. Mmmm, I’m salivating just thinking about all the lush little treats we had. So now’s the time to fess up I guess, and be honest about how much of a pig I can be when I really want to . . . you should probably prepare yourselves, this might make you quite ill.

I ate; half a tomato, mozerella and basil sandwich, half a sardine in tomato sauce sandwich, (both on white bread . . . I KNOW!!!) a handful of Quaver-type ham and cheese flavoured crisps, three spoon-fulls of Spicy Chicken Pasta, one spoon-full of coleslaw, seven olives, an average-sized piece of French-bread with Brussels pate on half of it, and brie and Parma ham on the other half, two Fox’s Jam Cream biscuits, half of a white chocolate cookie AND an orange flavoured ice lolly. And I was holding back . . .

I have just done double the amount of evening exercises that I would usually do, but I have not done any conscious cardio today, although I did walk around shops at a super-slow pace for about two hours. Plus, I need to have a day off every so often, right?

I’m going for my bath now, and then I will have some *gag* ‘mingy tea’ and some sort of fruit before bed. Tomorrow will be better. Back on it full-on. At least I hope so! I’m not going to waste all this hard work, so I’ll pick a cardio exercise and get it done early on so that it is over and done with. Keep following the journey, and we’ll see if this Special K Diet really works!
