Day 8 ... one week down

I caught sight of myself in the mirror this morning while getting dressed ... something I generally try not to do.  I was surprised to see that, whilst obviously weight isn't dropping visibly yet, my stomach didn't look quite as wobbly.  There was even a tiny bit of waistline indenting.  Most likely all from fluid loss, but still ... Yay me!

As to yesterday's diary ... Saturday breakfasts are the 'family' breakfast ... the first of the week where I can guarantee having time to sit with the kids, rather than be running around sorting out lunches, gym kits etc, and so they're a bit of a treat.  This week moreso, in that the kids made pain au chocolat from one of those twist and pop cans ... sure the calories were probably high, but they were very tasty, and sometimes you just do things for your kids.  Normally such things would be followed by cereal, which I didn't today, so there's one upside.

The snack was the remains of one of the kids breakfasts nibbled on rather than throwing away when I started the washing up.

And the homemade chocolate sauce at teatime is basically melted chocolate buttons ... probably the equivalent of about 10 solid ones.


Breakfast - A homemade Pain au Chocolat, glass of semi skimmed milk
Morning Snack - Glass of apple juice.  4 small spoons of Frosted Shreddies

Note, I didn't snack last night ... I thought about it, and stopped myself  :D
