Hi guys
What a week! We’ve been super busy what with all the playing we’ve been doing. In the last week, we’ve been to the new local soft play cafe three times (and have another sojourn planned for today!) Oscar adores it there and I have to say, having somewhere I can let him loose and still be able to relax either alone, or with friends is amazingly good fun. They also do fab food in there and cake. So much cake! These enormous whole cakes are lined up on a shelf right in eye line and call to me every time I go in. But I haven’t yielded to their siren song. Despite, really, really wanting to 😉
I’ve had a good week food wise, writing everything down, as promised and even managed to plan to very low syn Eurovision party feast for me and Ben on Saturday. I know it was just the two of us, but Eurovision is a big deal in our house and we love a party vibe to go with it. However, traditional party fare can be ridiculously calorific. Not to mention boozy! But I was able to find really easy, low syn alternatives. Enter syn free Hummus and Veggie sticks, followed by 1.5 syn Scotch Eggs and syn free Slimming World Chips, with low syn light chipolte mayo. And no booze! I know – right!
I worked so hard all week to ensure I lost the 1.5lb I gained last week and the extra 0.5lb I needed on top of that I needed to get my 5.5 Stone award. So you can imagine how disappointed I was with just 0.5lb off 🙁 That makes a total of 5 stone 5.5lb (75.5lb) in total.
Before you start, I know it’s a loss and for that I’m grateful, really I am. I just felt I’d put more than that in this week. Also I’m sick of fannying about at this weight. I want that bloody certificate! Hahaha I’m OK really. No really I am. Now. Last night I was pissed off, but this morning I’m more objective. Sometimes it’s just the way it goes and I understand that.
A small loss didn’t stop me fitting into clothes I never thought I would (and producing my most popular post ever). I wore my dress to weigh in last night, as I said I would and got so many lovely compliments. In fact can I just take a moment to say how blown away I was with the reaction I received to my Fat Face achievements? Thank you all so much for reading and saying such wonderfully supportive things. I can’t explain how much it means to me – I really do appreciate it!
So looking forward to this week, I’m going to continue to give it my all. I’m also going to be upping my super free intake, ensuring I give myself my very best chance of losing the 1.5lb I want to lose this week. Also this week is going to be a short one, as our group isn’t on next Thursday (bloody MEP Elections!) so I’ll be weighing in on Tuesday at my old group Liphook. So expect next weeks update on Wednesday.
Have an awesome week
