Evening all,
Just a wee quickie before I go to bed to tell you all about the NSV I had today. I was asked lastnight by my old boss if I could help them out by doing a shift for them as they were short staffed. For those of you who don't know what I do, I am a nurse. I used to work in a very busy ward working 12 hour shifts but in September last year I got a new job in a clinic, doing 9-5 hours.
Well, I did the shift today and took in all my sw friendly food to have for my breaks but on a 12 hour shift I am and was always starving. I had taken in quite a lot of food, enough to do me breakfast and lunch but after lunch I don't get another break. Anyway, there was literally chocolates, biscuits and cakes coming out of every cupboard that I opened and the whole of the tea room was surrounded by them!!!
Oh it was so so hard not to give in and have something along with everyone else but I didn't allow myself to be led astray and didn't touch any of it. Now, this for me is a major achievement as it would've been so so easy for me to slip into my old ways as I was really hungry mid-late afternoon and until I finished my shift at 8pm but my willpower did me proud today and I came away feeling like I had really conquered a big demon.
I realise this probably sounds silly. It's only chocolate after all, but believe me. For me, it's a big thing that I was able to say no and I'm proud of myself for doing it.
So, I came home after my shift and stopped off at the chinese on the way home and got myself a vegetable chow mein. I only ate half as it was a huge portion and was going to keep the other half for lunch tomorrow but my greedy hubby asked if he could have it, despite already having had a huge pizza for his tea earlier!
So, that's all i've got to report. I didn't take any pics of my food today but I had yogurt and fruit for brekkie and speed soup for lunch. Oh but here's a pic of what I ended up having lastnight after I couldn't be bothered making the burrito.
I made smash pizza with sw chips and it was so so good.
I'm off to bed now. So very tired after a busy but enjoyable day.
Night night xxx
