Days 176 - 183 (written very early on day 184)

Just to let you know it is 6:52AM!!!! and I'm writing this sitting on a train taking me to Euston. No I haven't gone mad - I'm going to a conference in Manchester :0)

So sorry I haven't been blogging for a while - sorry I've not been supplying daily ramblings for your amusement but even sorrier because I seem to have lost the plot 'diet-wise' and knowing you are out there (somewhere) listening has been spurring me on :)

I'm quite sure that a psychologist would have a field day on me because having been pretty good over the time dad was in hospital and afterwards I lost 2lbs last week - even got Slimmer of the Week!!
This week I took my eye off the ball & put 2lbs on. It's disturbing & irritating especially as I can't pinpoint anything major I did wrong but do know I've had the odd nibble of lots of things I shouldn't have had which has contributed to the gain.

Anyway, I'm drawing a line under all that and will be refocusing my efforts. Scarily its four weigh-ins until Chanukah/Christmas - big foodie times for us all (but when isn't!!) and I'm setting myself a target to lose 4lbs - definitely achievable and it means I'll be the weight I was at Toby's barmitzvah - my lowest weight in the last couple of years.
I know I can do it and really want to get my head back into gear.

Last week I met up with a very old friend for coffee who is also doing SW having gained a lot of weight. He is truly amazing and has lost 2.5 stone in about 7 weeks. He won't mind me saying that, like me, he had a long way to go but he is single-minded and determined whilst eating really well - sadly his determination didn't rub off on me this week but it will :0)

So as I said at the beginning I'm off to a conference today - always s challenge food-wise but also the food is usually very good so I'm going to make good choices so I don't blow it early I'm the week.
When I get to Euston I'm going to buy a coffee and some fruit for breakfast - even I can't eat cereal at 6am - so that I'm not tempted by anything revolting on the train to Manchester!!

I think that's it for now - I'm going to try very hard to blog daily to ensure I lose weight over the next four weeks which means you may hear from me again today.

Hope you are all ok.
