As instructed by my-oh-so-bossy-but-much-loved-sister, here is the latest update on my circuitous weight loss journey.
Particularly difficult over the last few days, too much nibbling and not enough focus will probably sum up my week but, following on from my pep talk last week I'm not beating myself up but just doing the best I can. And as always since Friday I've been very well controlled.
I do have some mitigating circumstances this week and I like to share so...........
- Tuesday was a manic day as it suddenly became my only work day. I didn't take lunch so that became a sandwich (very tasty but I'd had cereal for breakfast so not good on the diet front), Mug Shot & an orange. Lots of coffee & not enough water - I'm sure when I get that mix wrong it affects my ability to weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
- Wednesday I took Dom to Nottingham for a Uni visit - new it would be difficult food-wise but did find a salad but tuna & sweetcorn mayo I had with it wasn't great. Because I drove there & back I drank much less than usual and that together with the impending stress of Thursday gave me a tension headache so I was nibbling all evening - and not all good things!!
- Thursday I took my dad into hospital as he had to have some tests (I'm not going into the details but lets just say they weren't on the top half of his body!!) Anyway it was a long day, but it seems he's OK which his great but I had the munchies & was unable to avoid the BP/M&S garage on the way home :-( If I were Prime-Minister I think I would make all petrol stations 'Pay at Pump' & ban the selling of chocolate to overweight women who clearly have eaten too many chocolate bars already!!
Saturday, went to synagogue (needed divine intervention!), then home, collect Toby and his friends from the station then to Tesco. A & I decided not to go out (such a relief !) so I did some cooking (results below)
Both are delicious - the cannelloni could have done with more cheese but then it wouldn't have been a SW recipe!! and I've often made SW cheesecakes but this time I took it out of the oven still wobbly!! & it is much nicer, Normally I leave it in until it feels 'solid' and although nice it is much heavier & thinner!
Today I've been to the gym & had my measurements done which was quite interesting as I got a comparison of my 'vitals' from last March when I joined Curves.
The nett result was a loss of 8 inches over my ample body - I'm really pleased!
Weirdly my bust seems to have grown 3 inches which seems unlikely but everywhere else I've lost inches, including 1 inch off the top of my arm - HATE my arms but it is reassuring that something's coming off and makes the hard work worthwhile.
They also weighed me - and it looks like I've gained 1lb this week (hence the pessimism) but if I have I know why and I'll plough on regardless - you never know I might lose another inch off my arms by next February!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
