Super salads and strangely shaped nectarines

I bit the bullet and went to fat club - I gained a whopping 3 pounds, Susie was cool and there was a few giggles to be had. One member of the group, let's called her 'G' had also gained weight.

Susie - Oh, G, do you know where this gain has come from?

G - yes love

Susie - where?

G - I had a Macdonalds - I always seem to put on weight when I go to Macdonalds.

Susie - Oh and are you ok with this?

G - No love, not really.

I suppose you had to be there, but it did make me titter quietly to myself.

 

So, armed with this month's magazine and lots of motivation I took myself off to the lovely health food shop around the corner and got one of their delicious tuna salads.

 

I know there's a few calories here and there with the mayonnaise etc but it's better than chomping on a pasty which seems to have been my staple diet for the last week and the cause of most of my 3 pounds.

 

I then went to the greengrocer next door and got a punnet of my new favourite summer fruit - the flat nectarine! Now I don't know about anyone else, but I am physically unable to eat a normal shaped nectarine without a lot of slurping and dribbling but these little bad boys fit in my mouth perfectly .

 

They also taste lovely too.

 

I have given myself until December 18th to get to target - I know I keep changing the goalposts and I seem to be going in the wrong direction, but my spirit is definitely willing - well it is on a Tuesday anyway. I seem to say the same thing every week, but i really must try harder and do some cooking so I have things to nibble on that are healthy and not resort to one of the many takeaways that are literally a stone's throw from my house.

 

Wish me luck!
