Successes/Struggles

A good week, I had a day out on Wednesday, had a picnic lunch and a scrappy dinner, stayed just about within my calories, but higher carbs than usual. We were out to dinner on Thursday – Chinese buffet – again, just about within calorie allowance but this time probably higher fats than usual. I avoided the noodles and rice but the meat and veg was stir-fried.

Overall, I did well and I’m getting back to the weight I was before the holiday break last month.
