    Had a banana, rather than sausage, with my breakfast.

    And walked, rather than reading, on break today :)

    Reached my calorie limit by 9pm and have had to use all my will power not to snack and go over. Hoping watching Sherlock Holmes will distract me..

    I had an orange instead of the last slice of chocolate cake at work yesterday. (Then convinced someone else to eat it to remove the temptation!)

    I had a lie in instead of exercising. Well a rest day is as important as working out and I don't usually have a rest day. Now I feel guilty for not working out but I will stick with my decision.

    This is me today. I decided I have been pushing myself too hard, and my body was really telling me. I felt drained all week. I decided today I am taking the day off. I ate what I wanted for breakfast, I am not working out, and I am not even getting out of my pajamas today. We are going to decorate our tree and watch Christmas movies. I feel no guilt over it though, and neither should you. We all really do need a day off from time to time.

    Today I mixed up my workout routine by trying a Les Mills Grit Strength class for the first time instead of my usual Pump :smile:

    Impressive restraint on the dessert! Way to be.

    Very cold outside - Made a veggy soup/stew out of what was left in the fridge rather than ordering delivery.
