I think I'm back on track for a good loss this week. After the talking to I gave myself last week, I haven't dared to drink too much and have stuck to the plan like a good thing sticking to a plan.
Plus yesterday I exercised for England. I took the boys swimming and did 22 lengths (which is what I used to do regularly last time I was on a get fit/healthy programme, although that time I kept up exercise longer than dieting, this time I've managed both, together, at the same time - hurrah!), then in the afternoon I went downt lotty and did some weeding and digging. Today the backs of my legs are stiff as a board so I took a leisurely stroll into work rather than a I-mean-business, head-down march.
I was a little disappointed at lunchtime when I went to buy new trousers. All my work trousers are too big, but I tried on the next size down and they were too small. Nevermind, another couple of weeks and I'll be in that size. Hurrah!

Fat pussy ...
Both Fi and I stayed the same this week. I'd made some bad food choices this weekend, we were away and I didn't pig out, but I didn't do as well as I could have done.
Friday night we went out for curry. I had Chicken Dansak (like I pretty much always do). I hadn't been out for curry for ages, so kind of felt I was entitled to it. I didn't eat any poppadoms, but I did share a portion of Onion Bhajis with Andy. I also drank a few (ahem) pints of lovely lager. I did dance tho.
Saturday we were visiting Andy's kids and I had a sandwich for lunch (it was a healthy eating one, but I'm not supposed to be eating bread on the Core Plan). And in the evening, we went to Chiquito. It was supposed to be a treat. We only had 2 quarters of Andy's kids so decided to splash out on a more expensive (than we usually go to) restaurant. But neither Andy nor I really enjoyed what we had. I had:
CHICKEN POBLANo QUESADILLA Chicken and chunky vegetables in a Mexican chilli-chocolate sauce with grated cheese, baked in a flour tortilla. Served with Mexican rice and a basket of salad tossed in a sweet onion dressing. £9.45
The chilli-chocolate sauce might have been appropriate for dessert, but for main course I was expecting it to be heavier on the chilli than the chocolate. Alas it was pretty much a syrup. The chicken was barely even there. And with the extreme sweetness of the aforementioned sauce, there was no need to make the salad intensely sweet also. 0/10 Chiquito.
Andy had the same sauce on his steak and didn't enjoy it. Ben and Katie both had burgers, which Katie said were good. I did scrape as much of the sauce out of mine as poss, but I reckon I still had a major sugar overload.
Then on Sunday, after eating moderately at the eat-all-u-like breakfast, I got hungry on the drive home and succumbed to 3 crispy strips from Kentucky Fried Chicken. At the time I convinced myself that it was ok cos I wasn't having chips with it. But it wasn't.
So that was that. I deserved to not lose any weight this week and I have given myself a stiff talking to about it.
In better news - a friend just sent me this link. It's a monster cat weighing in at 33 lbs, almost exactly equivalent to what I've lost now.

I think I'm doing quite well ...
A friend emailed today and asked how I'd gone on over the Easter period. This was my response:
I've done well. I didn't have any Easter eggs to contend with. We've been away for a few days, but I just try to eat a bit less of the normal things while we're away and choose salads whenever I can. I've very uncharacteristically had a weekend with no alcohol binge too, so I'm expecting a good result this week.
We were staying with Andy's mum and dad who have tearooms in Wales. Normally I binge on all the lovely cakes she has while we're there. They also have an ice cream counter (which the kids made FULL use of). I only gave in to half a scoop of ice cream, but I had just had a tattoo and needed to boost my sugar level back up (well that's the excuse I gave Dylan anyway when he tried to stop me!!)
How about you?
