Weigh In Wednesday

I wasn't very hopeful for this week. I did the best I could but it is that time of year. We went for the meal out with friends on Thursday evening. All you can eat Chinese, it was delicious. Then on Friday it was my workplace Christmas meal out and once again Chinese, all you can eat, including ice-cream for dessert, heaven!

It is amazing the difference in my choices. I avoided the fried rice and stuck with noodles. Much better in pro points plus I also prefer them. I had duck and sweet and sour chicken, spring rolls, onions rings, satay chicken, a mouthful of cheesecake a small amount of ice-cream with strawberries, marshmallows and a little chocolate off the chocolate fountain. It sounds like a lot but by sticking to small portions I was able to still have everything I wanted and still be sensible.

Saturday onwards I only had my daily pro points that was a bit of a struggle and I did slip up one day and went over by 3. Next time I will make sure I only arrange one night out in any week that way the points will last longer. But on the good side at least I now know I can do it . It is all about getting on with your life and making the life changes to sustain losses but still live and not miss out.



The reason I know I can do this and continue onwards is despite the obstacles that got in the way this week I still lost 2.5lb. I got another shiny silver 7 on my card and a lovely total of 38lb lost. I was shocked but over the moon!

I hope the rest of you who are battling to lose weight stick at it. It is a hard and long fight but if I can do this then so can you!

Weigh in Wednesday

Okay so I am a day late.  Better late than never though right?

This week wasn't so great, but I am okay with that.  On Monday J and I went Christmas shopping.  Still a little early to feel completely christmassy.  All our shopping is completed we have got every ones gifts so now I just have to get the wrapping paper and get them all wrapped.  I am sure the presents will be waiting for the tree to go up.

While we were out we decided to eat out and I have been craving Nando's since we were first introduced to the restaurant back in July on our weekend in London.  It was delicious but high in points!  We also decided to have a bit of a liquid lunch.  We never do this but it was lovely to just sit and talk, while having a drink, just the two of us.  We haven't done anything like that in years.

Yesterday all public sector workers were on strike due to the government changing so much with pensions.  Why do governments always take from the poor but keep giving to the rich.  The divide gets bigger and bigger.  So anyway the point about the strikes is the ww meeting is held at a school.  The school was shut so we weighed in on Tuesday.  After my liquid lunch and Nando's on Monday I wasn't holding out too much hope.  I was dreading a gain and the tell tale circle drawn around the number.  Although not great under the circumstances I had a good result. 

I.stayed.the.same!

So on to this week, staying on track pointing everything that passes my lips.  Hopefully that extra day will pay dividends and I will have a fantastic loss this week.

Weigh in Wednesday

If you didn't know already Wednesday is my weigh in day at weight watchers.  So from today onwards I will be posting a short and sweet post to let you all know how I have done.

This week I lost 2lb's.  Which means I am just 1.5 lb away from passing the halfway mark.  As it happens the next 1.5lb loss means that since I joined weight watchers I will have lost 10% of my body weight.

Onwards and downwards!
