You are never too old ...

Days like today do my head in. But really, it is my head trying to do me in. Despite a good weekly loss today (-2.5kgs) I also lost a bit of focus - and today I nearly blew it. Things started well but started to go pear-shaped around lunchtime. A lovely bag of unsalted cashews that have sat happily unopened in the fridge for a fortnight called to me today. In fact, they bellowed: "Come eat me!" And I obeyed. I did manage to stop myself, but only after I had managed to scoff nearly my day's worth of calories.

So where does that leave me? Well, not as cocky (or rather, wise) as I felt this morning when I leapt out of bed all excited knowing, before I even stripped and stepped on the scales, that I would see a reward for my first week's faultless behaviour on 12WBT. So I am going to regroup, cook a nice 12WBT meal and end the day on a positive, albeit a somewhat chastened, note.
