So why am I doing it now? Last March I left my job as concession supervisor in a large fashion and beauty department store - chasing around to find that last size 12 dress "that is definitely around here somewhere", dashing down the aisles to find the customer I just served that left her card in the machine and not being able to take a full lunch break because of the L O N G E S T changing room queues that have ever existed on planet earth. All of this I did in heels, and I could only eat/drink at specified breaks. I don't want sympathy, I am just setting the scene for someone that probably burnt off most of the food she ate because of all the running around. I was happy (-ish, is any girl ever really HAPPY?) with my body, then everything changed. My new job (a higher wage, just around the corner from home) seemed like a God-send.
This was until I sat down in my fancy office chair and never got up again.
Endless cups of tea and coffee, always paired with a biscuit. Chocolate hob-nobs became my best friend and you can only imagine what happened when a café opened just around the corner, CHIPS ANYONE?! Needless to say my weight increased.
So on Janaury 5th this year, my first day back at my office job for the New Year, I was not falling back into old habits. No way. So far, so good - okay so I've had one or two McDonalds, and I had a chocolate muffin yesterday, but I don't intend to starve myself. Today is day 7 of my 30 day squat challenge and I have being drinking water with lemon at least twice a day (sometimes THREE times) like it is my religion.
Last week, I was a fashion and beauty blogger on a mission I decided it was time to allow myself to have a little indulgence as long as it was healthy, and hello, Graze box. It arrived today and to say I am amazed is an understatement, I wish I'd signed up sooner. I haven't eaten all of it yet (that wouldn't be healthy would it?) but I've eaten the chocolate brownie and I'm baffled how something that tastes SO GOOD can only have 110 calories. HOW, HOW, HOW? Sadly, my "Hot Cross Yum" packet was stolen by a co-worker, but he enjoyed it and said he was surprised it didn't have more calories because it was so tasty!
So thank you Graze for opening up my eyes to healthy, tasty snacking. Oh and to the Royal Mail postman - you couldn't have timed your delivery any better, my box landed on my desk just as I put the kettle on for lunch!
