So sorry to have been away for so long but what with New Year & a busy weekend there just hasn't been time - also I only got round to buying a mouse today for my laptop (not very good with the pad thingy!!)
I weighed in this morning & lost half a pound which wasn't bad under the circumstances.
My erratic eating seems to be calming & overall I'm eating three meals a day and snacking on fruit/yoghurt.
Lots of meals out meant an inability to follow the plan totally as well as
- a small piece of my honey cake (had to make sure it tasted alright before I gave it to anyone)
- a small piece of my mum's apple strudel - would be rude not to!
- one delicious roast potato at my sister's - ditto!
- 4 glasses of wine (two on Wed & two Saturday night) - more than usual for me :0)
Went to friends for dinner on Saturday too - fabulous meal (had to avoid the lovely looking desserts) but the rice & spinach combo (which was delicious) was cooked in coconut milk & the asparagus was baked with oil. It was all delicious & life is about socialising :)
I'm pleased that in such a week I've got back on track - I achieved.
Pre-New Year I did decide that as my long term goal was to have lost 2 stone by Christmas - I still was going for that so to overdo it over the next couple of weeks would be foolish & something I'd regret. So far so good & I'm going to keep at it.
Also did loads of walking on Thurs & Friday (it's a 1.7 mile walk from my house to the synagogue & of course the same back - and up hill!!!) as well as going to the gym on Sunday so I'm all exercised up too :0)
One of the less significant but still enjoyable parts of New Year is getting to see people I haven't seen for ages - friends, family & just acquaintances that you don't see often. I have to say I received more than my fair share of compliments and was surprised at how many people are reading my blog.
Just wanted to thank you all for this, your support & your confidence that I can achieve my goals - I know the only person that can do it is me but the thought that you are all their 'pushing' me forwards is tremendously encouraging - I WILL DO THIS HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES!!
Will try to go back to daily posting from now on - even if just short ones - so please comment so I know you are still there!
Love to you all.
