Well, weigh in yesterday and I managed to lose 1.5lb!!! only 32lb to go to my perfect weight. Im on target anyway of losing an average of 1lb per week to get to my target weight.
I did think it was all going to go pear shaped again over the weekend as it started badly on Friday when I really fancied fish and chips so thats what I had, with 2 yummy slices of bread and beans. (oh and some scraps!) After that nibbled on a couple of packets of weight watchers biscuits. There cute individual portioned wrappers were not much of a fight when I was clearly on a mission to drown myself in carbs and saturated fat. I woke up on Saturday peckish so sniffed out the chockies we have hid since xmas and nibbled on a couple of them. For lunch my lovely husband served me up 1/2 a pizza which when I had finished dared myself to look at the points content and it was 37.5 points - nearly 2 days worth!!! ouch!!! I could feel my hips swelling in size already. I had to dash out to take my beautiful daughter for her haircut. Her first haircut! Being the mini princess that she is, she doesn't do anything by halves! An hour it took to get it done, 10 mins on the back of her hair, 15 minutes strop, 25 minutes walking round the shops buying ginger bread men, bribing with sweets and chocolates and then back to the hairdressers for the fringe. 10 minutes strop, 5 minutes to trim the fringe. Exhausted mum and daughter! Weight watchers meal for tea to curb the damage a little bit in the evening of sausages, mash and all the veg you can eat. Sunday came and to be honest apart from a couple of small chockies in the morning most of the day went by uneventful as I couldn't really move about too much as ankles were still throbbing from my exercise efforts a week ago so reserved myself for my meal about 5pm when I had weight watchers chili con carne sauce with mince and rice... yummy. Points were looking ok at this point. Out I went to deliver a letter to Emma (in my PJ's) and the whole crew were there eating, drinking and being merry so thought as not to be rude I joined in. Yummy - quality streets.... I love the orange and strawberry creams so took the lot home as no one else likes them. It really does show the two ends of the love spectrum. On one side I have my lovely friends Em and Sue saying go on - its a treat just have one every so often, it wont hurt, go on take them. So kind! whilst handing me a bag of all the creams to take home... On the other side I have Ron saying don't Laura, leave them, you don't want the sweets, you don't need them... and taking them off me. Love again as he was doing the typical man thing and going straight to the point. Oh what to do? I did the obvious thing and took them of course! Although they are now in my tin of quality streets waiting to be eaten when I need a quick chockie fix! Back to today and feeling quite good that I have managed to survive all that and here to tell the story, all in moderation is the key, its just keeping that up for long enough that's the problem. 1.5lb lighter may not seem like much but every little helps and if I am lucky enough for it to continue over the coming weeks I will be a very happy little princess! x
