I’ve found my diet willpower

Posted by Caroline

Yesterday I went on a tour of some of the most beautiful villages in the Cotswolds and walked around a stunning garden at a place called Hidecote Manor.  

I woke up today ready for another long walk to the next village across field and vale and found, once I’d got dressed, that I simply didn’t have the energy for another walk.
 
Instead I drove into Burford and sat in one of their gorgeous cafes - opposite all the cakes - but managed to stick to just a cup of tea. This afternoon, I’m going shopping in Cheltenham, but I’ve heard shopping doesn’t count as exercise. Who says? I’m always knackered after a big shop! 

Food-wise, I’ve been a good girl, even though I ate out most of yesterday. I stuck to fish and vegetables for lunch and a lamb stew for dinner, of which I left at least half. Jonathan gave me one cube of chocolate in the evening and somehow I managed not to annoy him into giving me more. 

I’m hoping I’ve lost the weight I gained the week after the move - and as soon as I find some scales, I shall hop on and find out.
