Use it or Lose it

Ouch!

I had no idea that losing weight in winter would be this hard.

When I was safely tucked up at home with the heating on, only venturing out when absolutely necessary, it wasn’t so bad. Plus, it really wasn’t all that cold.

Now, having gone back to work I have to go out EVERY morning and evening, whether I like it or not. The recent cold snap we’ve been experiencing really haven’t done much to cheer me up.

Consequently, I’ve been consuming so many hot drinks it’s unreal. Of course, it’s all 40 calorie hot chocolates and skimmed milk in coffee, but it’s certainly not just a glass of water. A mid-afternoon cup of coffee then has to be accompanied by something sweet, just to get me through the rest of the day.

I’m trying hard. I had soup for lunch today, but caved and had a buttered roll to dunk in it. Granted, it wasn’t real butter, it was low fat spread, but still not part of the plan!

I know now why I did it in the late spring/early summer last time. It’s so much easier when you need a refreshing cold glass of water and are craving tasty fresh salads in the heat.

Must. Try. Harder.
