Week 19

Don’t panic Mr Mannering! 1lb on. Ok... honestly? Surprised and a little disappointed but not throwing myself into the fridge just yet. Ate lots of the healthy variety and did have alcohol on two separate occasions but nothing more than last week when I lost 3lbs or in the week preceding that with a 2lb weight loss. We even had 26 people over for an impromptu lunch on Sunday with the Spanish exchange families and I didn’t break from the plan at all despite having an overflowing table of international goodies. To be honest the 16 children pretty much moved across the buffet table in locust formation and devoured the lot with military precision which thankfully alleviated me of the temptation of any leftovers.

But we have been here before with an unexpected weight gain my little chicka dees, haven't we? No rhyme or reason to it.  This is so the scenario that has broken me many times before and as a consequence I have spectacularly fallen off the diet wagon, put on all the weight again, and some, and then tried to find another diet ‘that works’. Not this time though. My exercise levels this week were roughly the same and I even got seat to seat with Gloria which, incidentally, has made me realise that one of us is going to need to invest in a pair of padded pants if we wish to continue such a harmonious relationship.  

For some reason this week I just needed to look over my journey so far. Not really a wobble just a slight refocus....and boy what a difference 19 weeks can make.

Looking to hit that 35lb half way target..thirty and a half a pound lost..........thirty nine and a half a pound and counting Sx
