The whole point of that last ramble was really to say that, as I have six bonus points saved, and had 18.5 points left for the day, I decided a small food-based treat was in order.

So I have bought and consumed a lovely Berliner. For those not in the know, this is a jammy doughnut. And I enjoyed every sticky, sugary, doughy mouthful. It was lush!

And I still have six bonus points, and 12 points left over for the day. We're having roast chicken for dinner, probably with roast potatoes or maybe mash, carrots, peas and sweetcorn. I am looking forward to that. No idea when the OH will be home. He may have forgotten I don't have school this week and gone round to see a friend who lives about a mile from where he works.

I also wanted to say that it is sometimes okay to let yourself have an indulgent treat that IS food. The plan fits in with your life, after all, you don't have to make your life fit around it. If I do have a food-based treat, I make sure I enjoy it and don't feel guilty for having it. And I only have one if I can fit it into my points for the day or week.

I think the new plan when it arrives will actually encourage us to do that; fit treats in to our week if we want them. I think I read somewhere, too, that you can still earn Activity Points and bank those, but you might have to use them on the day you earn them. We'll all know very soon, anyway!
