Morning people!
Hope you’ve had a good week. Mines been pretty good with some great food eaten. Now Strictly is back and we’re properly into it, I don’t mind staying in at the weekends so much and I try and make our dinner on Saturday a bit special (yes we eat it on the sofa whilst watching celebs being whirled round the dancefloor). Before I started SW, we used to have something like a pizza or something else like that as a “treat” when watching Strictly. The number of Syns in a pizza not with standing (although frightening!), it’s not really a treat if you do it every week, its a habit and to be honest it had lost its sparkle before I even started Slimming World. I want to really enjoy the food I eat now (and I mean really really enjoy it). This Saturday we had an A-Ma-Zing steak for dinner, with roasted new potatoes, balsamic dressed rocket salad, home grown tomatoes, mushrooms with fresh garlic and light mayo. The only thing I had to count on the plate was the mayo. It was a meal fit for a Craig Revel-Horwood dust covered 10! And I correctly predicted who would be going home this week. Sorry Vanessa, but you really did suck!
So to this weeks result. I was a little nervous about my weigh in yesterday. Having gained 0.5lb last week, I was desperate to get back on track. If you remember last week I said I wanted to lose the 0.5lb I’d gained and 1 more lb to boot. And do you know? That’s exactly what I did! Exactly! I lost 1.5lb, taking my total lost to 2 Stone 4lb (32lb).
1.5lb might not sound like a great deal in the grand scheme of things, but do you know what? It’s 1.5lb I’m not carrying round anymore, and that to me is the most important thing. I was as happy this week as I was the week I lost 4.5lb. As long as its coming off, it’s all good to me. On a weight loss journey, the difference between the weeks is what keeps you on your toes. As someone said to me last week, “that’s why its called a journey”.
So as it stands I’m 3lb away from my 2.5 Stone award. Much as I would like to reach that asap (who wouldn’t!) I’m being realistic in my expectations, so I would like to reach that by the end of October.
Have a great week people!
PS – again I’m still not sure if she reads this, but last night my sister in law reached her 1 stone award at Weight Watchers. Considering she only gave birth to my niece in July I think she’s doing blooming marvelously. Nice one Nic!
