First temptation was our anniversary dinner - had so many calories left....and got the most gorgeous piece of steak and treated myself to some mashed spud and creme brulee. Should have stopped there - but I just had to have the little chocolate slice on the creme brulee plate as well!
How silly was I? Here I was thinking that I had a mind of steel and I couldn't stop myself eating it! I found out that I probably went over my daily limit by 100 calories or so!
Anyway Saturday was a good day - but come today - imagine this at my Niece's christening - tonnes of pizza, italian sausage, olives, bruchetta, and yummy creamy pastas, chilli mussels and the most gorgeous looking cupcakes I have ever seen!
I managed to be slightly good! I had quite a few chilli mussels (so yummy!) , some olives, had the marinara and left half the spaghetti on the plate and had one small piece of sourdough bread. I then only ate half a cupcake....yummy....but I stopped at half, so happy with myself, however so wanted the other half! I was having a constant battle in my head!
Anyway I have exercised every day except for 2 days in the last 14 days. I mainly burn at least 500 calories a day - sometimes more :) I love all the classes! I am finally feeling that I am getting fit - I manage to last a lot longer!
However I have noticed a small change in me - this weekend I wore a short dress twice and liked the way I looked in them - and bought new makeup and put in my contact lenses for the first time in 2 years or so today!
So from now on I am making an effort to look good every single day - so I am going to take time to do my hair, do my make up and genuinely feel good about myself - and when I lose the weight I will be going out and buying a feel good wardrobe in hopefully size 8-10 clothes!
Looking forward to seeing the scales on Wednesday - hope I haven't blown it this week - will eat nice and light this next two days - and hope for a decent loss on Wednesday and crack 5kg lost!
I'm out of here!

Well done Julia! It is so hard to resist the temptation - I don't think I'm as strong as you and thats my one problem. While I'm feeling so much fitter and fitting into my clothes better, I haven't shifted as much weight as I would have liked. I'm hoping I can do better with the warmer weather and salads - I just can't do salads in the freezing cold Canberra winters. Thanks for sharing and for being such a great inspiration - can't wait to hear how your weigh in on Wednesday goes. :)
