Second Thursday

Feeling much more motivated today. I'm still finding it hard to resist the temptation to eat rubbish when I feel a little light-headed, instead I have a piece of fruit or a low-fat yoghurt and that seems for the moment to be doing the trick. As I am someone who enjoys alot of flavour in my food, spicing up the low-fat dishes seems to be satisfying my stomach more than if they had little flavour!! The weather was lovely here yesterday, so I went out for a walk for an hour or so with my daughter, that felt good!

Second Wednesday

Slightly better news this morning! 74.3kgs after my shock yesterday! So as I said yesterday from now on my weekly weigh in will be on a Wednesday, but I will continue to write my diary on a daily basis. Don't forget, if you have any tips?

Tuesday

What a shock this morning! Got on the scales and they are saying 74.7kgs! How can that be possible? I feel like I've been starving myself! No snacks in between meals, no alcohol during the week, what's going wrong? From now on I'm going to weigh myself once a week, every Wednesday, at least that way I'll only risk being depressed once a week!!

Weight: 74.7kgs

Still speak tomorrow!

Monday

Yes!! 73.4 kgs!! Should have been more patient! So weight still going in the right direction despite extra calories consumed this weekend in the form of alcohol!! Back on the wagon until next weekend!! Have been feeling strong hunger pangs today and a little light-headed due to feeling hungry! Hopefully my stomach will speed up shrinking so that these go away, or I could be tempted to eat BAD things!!

Sunday

Well the scales are still stuck at 73.9kgs!! Getting a little depressed now! Had a lovely tea last night, chicken breasts in a lovely spicy tomato sauce with egg noodles! Yummy!

Recipe for 4 people:
Ingredients: 4 chicken breasts seasoned with a little salt and pepper on both sides, then place in a baking dish.
For the sauce, finely chop a chilli, a red pepper, 2 coves of garlic and an onion. Mix a tablespoon of cornflower with 30ml orange juice and add 150ml of tomato passata. Mix in with onions, garlic, peppers and chilli. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover the baking dish with some foil and bake in oven (180°) for 30-40 minutes. Cook the noodles as per pkt instructions. Serve! Bon appétit!

Saturday

The scales already seem to be stuck at 73.9kgs, how depressing!! And I didn't even have that glass of wine yesterday!! I suppose I should be thankful that there hasn't been any weight gain!! Went to the cinema again today with hubby and daughter this time! Saw "127 hours". I resisted the tempting popcorn and sweets and kept to my bottle of sparkling water that I was carrying around in my bag! God, that scene where he breaks and then cuts off his arm, enough to put anyone off their food! I could barely watch!

Fingers crossed that the scales will be kinder tomorrow!

Friday

Yet another nice surprise this morning, same time as yesterday, but 73.9kgs. At this rate by Easter Sunday I'll have lost more than 30kgs!! Reminds me of that Peter Kay sketch (14 stone in a day!!!) And to top it all I've not even had that glass of wine I was so looking forward to! Truth is, I had to go to my daughter's parents' evening after school and then the 2 of us went off to the cinema to see 'Made in Dagenham' in English with French subtitles! In French they've called it 'We want sex equality'!! Not a very French title! Perhaps I'll have that glass of wine tomorrow!
