Low Calorie Treats

When visiting my dear friend know to you as "Fat[free]Me" As well as inspiring me with delicious food and wonderful walks. She also showed me her collection of low calorie treats, that she keeps for when a sweet boost is required. All below 100 calories there were healthy snacks and bars.

Well when I can home, in fact before we left Scotland for home, my husband and I went to Tescos and stocked up on the same treats.

Now the magic of knowing you have these treats actually helps you not to eat them!!

Sounds daft I know, but it works, as long as I know those treats are there, I am not looking for goodies to eat. It is working so well, that most of the "Goodies" in the photo below are from that original shopping trip and that was over a month ago!!

It works for me, I am not snacking at all this week and it is not causing any pain at all.

Weekend Away

Well last night was great, I enjoyed a curry with all the accompaniments and half a bottle of wine. It was great.

Today I have been on high fibre and plenty of fluids so hopefully will cancel out some of last nights damage.

We are off to Scotland tomorrow for the weekend. Going to see my lovely new mother in law.
She is 82, 4ft nothing, plays golf a couple of times a week. She is such an example on how to live your life into old age. I always look forward to seeing her. It is always healthy eating at her house, good Scottish cooking.

The downfall is visiting his aunties, their Scottish hospitality is second to none. So that mean lots of cake and biscuits. I do try to be good.... and then there is the baker in the village:( Oh dear it's going to be tough, but I will try to be good.

I will be back on Monday and hopefully will have lost weight or at least stayed the same. There are a lot of walking opportunities around Dollar, so I can walk off some of the treats whilst up there.
