3.5lb off this week. So chuffed! That puts me back at 1.5 stone lost in total and is the first time in ages I've lost weight two weeks in a row - here's hoping for the hatrick next week!
I think it was partly down to having a good start last week - that loss wasn't as much as I'd hoped for, but combining the 2 weeks gives me something to build on. I also felt I did well at the two garden parties I went to at the weekend - at one I was BBQ chef so avoided picking at food (and my fab wife bought me some chicken kebabs so I could avoid sausages and burgers), and at the other I avoided sausage rolls, samosas and garlic bread, instead opting for rice, chilli and kedgeree (although I did have a few bits of dessert!).
Keeping the plan somewhere near my mind, rather than locked away at the back, meant that I paid more attention to what I was eating - I made a massive batch of cabbage and leek soup which I've been eating every day since I made it, and experimented with some other new recipes - I think I'm beginning to rediscover my SW mojo!
I stayed to group for the first time in a while and people were genuinely pleased to see me - at first I was staying because my arm was forefully held behind my back, but I'm glad I did it and will do so more often in future. We've got such a friendly group that it's about time I started giving them the support they've given me - thanks folks!
After group, I got home and made some turkey pasta (sorry - we ate it that quickly that I didn't get a chance to take a pic!) and some SW quiche (that I was planning on lasting a few days for lunch, but which I've had half of already!). Food optimising has never tasted so good!
I've got a couple of social occasions coming up that could make it difficult to stick to plan, so I'm aiming to stick to it the rest of the week and minimise the effect of those occasions. Tune in next week to find out how I did!
