Another day

Well it has been a couple of days since I last posted. The family and I have done quite a lot in the last couple of days and my diet has been going well-ish.

 We spent yesterday morning at Melbourne zoo. It was time to visit the new baby elephant 'Ongard' and re-visit his cousin 'Mali'. They are so cute. They were taken for a walk around the enclosure and each elephant has been trained to hold onto the tail of the elephant in front. Looks very cute when you see 4 large elephants lumber past and in the middle is a small one - Mali - trying to keep up. Little Ongard just kept as close to his mum as possible, getting a helpful push from behind by one of the keepers when the going got a bit steep.I know how he feels - I often feel I need a good push to get me up the hills too.

When we left, I convinced my husband to go through to Church Street Richmond to check out some of the outlets for clothes. The very store I wished to see - had a 'Closed for Stocktake' message on the door! Wouldn't you know it -  haven't been there literally in years and the very day I decide "let's go" - it is jolly well shut!

Had lunch at a little Vietnamese Restaurant, on my husbands suggestion, as I should be able to choose low point food. Decided on the fresh Prawn rolls. Had four and they were delicious. Was quite shocked to see, when I got home, that each one is determined to be 2 points each - not much in them - 1.5 prawns, lettuce and vermicelli. So an 8 point lunch that left me feeling hungry a few hours later

So it was a situation of constant hunger in the afternoon - how do you manage these types of days? I drank water, I went for a short walk - still trying to build up to something spectacular regarding exercise. So it became a day to eat into my extra 49 points - literally and thank goodness they were there. Otherwise I think I would have busted out and grabbed any  food I could lay my hands on and that would mean a whole stack of points used up!

Much better today and have kept well in the point range. Hopefully when I weigh myself tomorrow I should have a great weight loss to report. Hope so, as my history with weight watchers, over many years, is for a weight gain in the first week - goodness knows why. Hopefully the Pro-Point Plan will prove to be different.

cheers
