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!!

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!

Thursday

Would you believe it, I hop on the scales this morning and they say 74.3kgs!! Fluke I think?! Maybe because I weighed myself after my morning ablutions and before eating breakfast!! If it's not a fluke I can be proud of myself! Has this happened to anyone else after 24 hours of a 'diet'? What I have found hard since yesterday is not eating the odd biscuit with a cup of tea or coffee, I'll be going shopping in the next couple of days and might look out for some 'healthier' snack options without going over the top though! Does anyone recommend a particular brand? Must admit, I'm looking forward to a glass of wine tomorrow! It's a strictly NO alcohol policy Monday to Thursday and the odd glass Friday to Sunday! Here's keeping fingers crossed for tomorrow's weigh-in!

Ash Wednesday

Well here goes! I'm speaking to myself at the moment (no-one has found my blog yet, must do something about that!! It's all new to me! Any hints?), but psychologically I have set myself a task and I am determined to see it through! Needless to say, it's the first day of the diet today. Having looked through some books last night, I am going to "losely" follow a low-fat diet and watch my calorie intake. Basically, I'm going to reduce my portions, stop eating butter and too much cheese, and just have the odd glass of wine at the weekends! Come on, I'm only human!! Obviously the scales said the same this morning as yesterday, diet only started today remember!
