More mundane stuff

So well this blog is supposed to be about my weight loss "jurney"(Ah Garth Montgomery how I miss your blog) so I figured I better give an update..

I have been TRYING to increase my activity levels, but am struggling big time. A combination of not enough hours in the day, me being a person who needs LOTS of sleep & my youngest deciding he can't possibly sleep unless he is ON ME means energy is lacking. I am trying though & went for a walk last night, which was curtailed thanks to some immature little boys trying to spook me (I admit, it worked, if I had been with my old dog, I would have ignored them, but my new dogs just love people too much, plus there were 4 of them & one of me). I will be walking to my husbands work this arvo as well, it's all uphill so = extra calories burned.
On the food side I am also struggling, especially the last couple of days. At a 1200 cal limit per day, it means food is lacking in flavour & variety, which is one of my pet peeves. Every now & then all I want is a nice carbonara or a pie or something.. even a caesar salad would be welcome! So yes, you could say I have been cheating myself a bit.. by adding caesar dressing instead of fat free greek for example.. If this doesn't scream COMFORT EATER I don't know what would! I suppose though I could look on the bright side & say I managed to avod the chocolate mud cake that was sitting on my bench for 2 whole days! And now it is gone as I made my hubby take it to his work!
