I was feeling a bit stiff from my Body Balance class yesterday morning, but I felt oddly better. I had a really productive morning at work, feeling quite up and focussed. Yesterday afternoon I decided a nap was a better use of my rest week time than another workout, and it did leave me feeling refreshed and well able for my 5pm meeting. I also had a pretty good diet day, right up until my husband came home with yet more Easter chocolates! Even though I was full from my dinner last night, I couldn’t resist having some chocolate when my husband was sat next to me on the sofa digging into his.
There is something about the prevalence of chocolates around Easter. I like to think I am pretty savvy to the effect of advertising on my life, but apparently I am not immune to the temptation of cheap Easter chocolates piled high around the entrance to every shop. Though to be fair, it’s my husband and not I who has been buying them. I have asked him not to, but his argument is that he would feel bad buying for himself and not for me, and that I would probably end up nicking half of his anyways. And to be fair he is trying to be sweet, bringing me a surprise treat, so I feel bad refusing it.
The problem is that I have not self control when it comes to chocolates, even when I’ve just eaten a good meal. If I could have a few pieces, or the equivalent of just one normal sized, 200 calorie bar, it would be fine. One of those giant Easter eggs would last for at least a week and I would get a daily treat that didn’t blow everything out of proportion. But once I start, I just can’t seem to stop, and if I know it’s in the house, I just have to have it.
There is still plenty of chocolate in the house so it looks like this is not going to be the week where I get my calories back under 2000!
