tara's chocolate challenge

ljaneyr

Hi everyone, long time no see! I've been really busy but doing well on the choc front. I started my get back into shape diet a week ago on sat and weighed myself at my boyfriends house on what I know to be unreliable scales. I was so shocked by my weight that I only did it the once so no idea if it was accurate. I was also fully dressed and had eaten breakfast. Anyway this weekend I bought a scale and I have lost 6 lb! Taking into account the fact that I then weighed myself naked and before breakfast I'm assuming an actual weight loss of about 3lb but still really pleased! Bikini here I come!

Having said all that it was my mum's birthday so on sun had a 3 course meal and a huge glass of wine. Thought it was a good idea to let go then get back on the wagon today. I have to say I enjoyed every mouthful of it!

Loving the sun down here!

Hope everyone else is doing well

Big confession time!! I feel like the naughtiest girl on the Tara's Chocolate Challenge thread. Yesterday I ate a big packet of chocolate coated peanuts, in the region of 1000 calories :eek:.

Today I have carried on the theme by eating a packet of chocolate biscuits (it contained 9), a packet of Aero Bubbles and a bar of nougat. The biscuits and nougat were lovely but I didn't even enjoy the Bubbles.

What's gone wrong is that for the last 2 days I haven't planned my food for the day which has left me open to temptation.

I won't let it ruin the good progress I'd made and I'll try hard to be good tomorrow.

Good for you footymadgal, that's the right attitude!!!!

I have been pretty good the last couple of days... a few choc biccie slip ups BUT I picked up and put down a jar of Nutella! I am so proud. Normally I would just buy it without hesitation. I bought some WW apple crumble slices instead (they are yummy) at 90 cals each. :beer:

Here's to a good choc-free BH weekend!!

Does it count that I made some chocolate covered bones for the dogs yesterday (well - melted dog choc and covered bonios - they are Percys favourite, Maisy isnt so bothered!!) and now when I walk into the kitchen I HAVE to take a very deep breath??

as long as you don't have a nibble on their choccie bones :eek: I think we can let you off! :rotfl::rotfl:


I have finally got to the end of my couple of busy weeks so from now on I'm back on the challenge...no more chocolate. And you can smack my hands if I fall off the wagon

Won't be too difficult for a couple of days. I made a gorgeous banana bread loaf yesterday YUM YUM that I'll nibble on instead

trudij

Love banana bread - yum !!!


Well, I kind of failed earlier - TOTALLY for research purposes and sacrificing my honour for your lots behalf, I tried nutella on a ginger nut.

dont bother, its not half as nice as it sounds like it should be !!!!

i could never give up choclate one of my favorite things in life yummy ex used to feed me it when was time of month as he hated me for that week , but when i do cut down trick of mine is out of site is out of mind, i.e dont keep it in a place you see all the time or you will pick at more mine is the kitchen but hidden behind all of the bozze thats never drank so i have to putll it all out to get to my favourites , also buy fredos half the choc and calories and saves money and you still get your fix x

OK.. I'm back and so is this challenge!!! It's 2 weeks till my first holiday of 2011 and I have been exercising for the last 3 weeks or so, still not really losing any weight so it's time to get drastic. It's the chocolate that's causing the damage.

So........ I'm going to have NO CHOCOLATE for the next two weeks. It's going to be hard but it's going to be worth it and it's only for two weeks (surely even I can manage that)!!!!

Will you join me and encourage me? I would be very grateful xo
