flipping heck!
Just had my official weigh-in. The good news is that it could have been much, much worse (I gained 4lbs.... I know I am capable of a 6lb weight gain on holiday). I also feel in the right frame of mind to start tackling the blubber. AGAIN.
The bad news is, I've just realised how delluded I have been. In my head I thought I'd gained about half a stone since my holiday in the summer, but I've just checked the graph and I am exactly a stone (14lbs!!!!) heavier than I was right before my summer holiday. Flipping heck!!!!!! I am my own worst enemy.
ANYWAY..... apparently it is nine weeks until Christmas. If I am good I could shift the best part of a stone by then. So that's the plan.
Doing well so far today - porridge for breakfast (albeit with a bit of sugar), just about to have a small portion of pasta with a homemade, low fat tomato and tuna sauce and then going to my mum's for dinner. No idea what she'll cook but she's pretty good at always doing healthy-ish stuff and will let me pick and choose, eg have extra veggies etc, so hopefully that'll be fine. Also calling in on a couple of friends for coffees so will need to avoid the cake/biscuits etc.... but do feel very motivated at the moment. Exercise wise I walked to my WW meeting which is up and down several big hills.... was sweating like a pig, and it was raining cats and dogs (could I squeeze in any more animal analogies??!!!) but felt good for putting the effort in.
