And as my sister reminded me I haven't been blogging - I have, of course, been eating & not in a good way.
So the reason I haven't been blogging is that I can't lie to the blog (no.1 rule) and I'm not strong enough to admit further disastrous eating patterns :(
In truth, I went to weigh-in last Monday evening and put on a pound which was definitely better than I anticipated so I left the class fairly optimistic. Came home had dinner got up the next morning and had a proper breakfast before making lunch to eat at work as well as an afternoon snack as I was going to Tobz's carol concert at St Albans Abbey in the evening - sadly that's where it all went wrong as all the preparation in the world is only as good as the person remembering to take it with them!!!!!!!!!
In truth I didn't stop noshing all day Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday - when it got much worse because mum was poorly again & had a 'hospital incident' :( I can't blame her - its entirely my doing ............. however she's improving now and so on Friday I pulled myself together.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday & today have been excellent SW days, within the bounds of going out to eat on Saturday night and Sunday night. I had decided not to weigh in today either as I took my dad to his hospital appointment this morning - thankfully he's been discharged so another dad-generated medical crisis has drawn to a close!!
BUT, having had a gentle lecture from my sister, and giving myself a stern talking too, I'm off to face the music.
I haven't missed a weigh in since June - another promise to myself - regardless of the outcome it is definitely better to weigh-in and suffer than not weigh-in and 'explode' because I know that will happen.
Whatever happens tonight, I'll be at least 1.5 stone lighter than I was this time last year - whilst not as good as I'd planned it is vastly better than it would have been had I not brought myself back under control.
So I'll let you know later (or tomorrow) how I get on and will try to post daily (even quick one's!) over the next two weeks - I'm sure it will help :)
PS: Thanks to Madeline for restarting her video blog yesterday & reminding me how powerful this is for both of us & that the goal was 'slow but steady' & not 'speedy but unsustainable) xx
