As you will have realised since leaving for France my newly learned habits of blogging & sensible eating have gone to pot a bit - to put it mildly - but since Friday (today is Sunday) I've been much better.
I went back to Curves on Friday & went again this morning - I've also decided that I'll go on Tuesdays after work so that I go up to three times a week. I told the boys they'll be no lifts home on Tuesdays & dinner will be later (unless they cook themselves!!).
Also from Saturday (yesterday!!) I've gone back to following the SW plan properly. It's really hard work but I am doing ok so far.
I did some cooking (cheese cake & smoked salmon pate) so I have interesting things to nosh other that fruit & yoghurt. Also made a big fruit salad yesterday which is all gone mysteriously!!!
Last night we went to the Barbican to see South Pacific and decided to eat there. Avoiding the fabulous dessert buffet table right by the entrance (I kid you not) I found a huge quinoa-stuffed tomato which I had with salad leaves & dry roasted new potatoes. It wasn't the greatest meal I'd ever had but was filling.
Toby had a strange mix of things that looked yummy & included creamy mash and onion rings!! I was sorely tempted to pinch one but resisted - also he definitely wouldn't have let me have one :0)
By the way - I'd highly recommend South Pacific.
This morning took Dom to Pinner & Toby to hockey practice so was up early. Didn't have breakfast though and MUST get back into that habit ASAP.
Then went to gym then back to collect Toby (hockey training called off as courts were locked at Harefield Academy!!)
Then got dinner ready for tonight - Italian lamb with rice, cauliflower & green beans.
Just had lunch with Toby - he had smoked turkey salad & I had six Finn crispbreads with smoked salmon pate & smoked salmon accompanied by radishes, baby corn & tomatoes. Also had a Chinese Mug-Shot. A bit later I'll have some cheesecake and blackberries (lovely free treat) with a coffee and some squash.
This last week has shown me that I really don't get any 'days off' from my aim to lose more weight (at least four more stone if I'm honest) but I'm feeling optimistic nevertheless.
On Friday when I went to curves they took my monthly measurements & I'd lost another two inches all over plus a drop in body fat & BMI and 2lbs in weight - pretty good considering I've been on holiday.
Yesterday I tried on the skirt from the suit I had for Toby's barmitzvah & it fits!! Also tried on a suit I bought for RH last year that I never wore because it was much to tight - couldn't get jacket over arms or skirt zipped up (very depressing). Skirt fitted beautifully and jacket will be ok for this RH if I'm careful over the next few weeks.
So this is good news for me.
I'm going to aim to resume blogging everyday and go to the gym three times this week.
Tomorrow I start training as SW money lady & I'm not expecting to lose weight (unlikely to have a miracle two weeks running!!)
Have a good Sunday.
