You ate the extra...so now you are obligated to yourself to do extra exercise to work it off.

How we see ourselves and how others see us are often two different things. The mind can play some amazing tricks on our eyes. That is why weighing and measuring yourself can be so helpful - the scales and the tape measure tell it like it is.
Fruit would be a really good idea. It will give you a full feeling and the sugars and fibres are complex are very useful to your body.
What is an "Instant Pad Thai (5g) - 200kcal"? What ever it is, it was nearly as damaging as the ice cream. An apple would have been an healthier snack.
You are doing well...keep it going!

Haha I would love to do more exercise! But I have been struggling without the car! Gaahh! Definitely need to make up for it when I can start going back regularly!
Mmm yeah, well I shall be measuring myself Monday so fingers crossed we see some changes!

Haha yeeahhh... I haven't been shopping much this week so I ran out of fruit and veggies! Hahahaha the pad Thai is the healthy version of 2 minute noodles, low calorie, low sodium, minimal artificial flavours (by comparison), relatively high in protein... Yesterday was a bad day, so it's what I eat when I want something bad for me, but isn't too bad! But I definitely need to keep them to a minimum! While I cant eat apples (they trigger bad heartburn), I have bought a mountain of pears, plums and banana's! Im getting back on track!
So I tried Sardines today. Interesting... High in calcium, protein, omega3's and various other good things... Interesting taste. They were almost sweet! Guess this is why most people buy the ones with salt! But I am trying to keep the sodium down in my diet so...
Also having a family dinner because my mother is going back to Germany, so we will have a glass of champagne and a pasta dish for dinner!
