In honour of mother's day, I'm giving myself a week off the scales ! No actually, that's not true - in honour of Pierre waking me up at 7 o' clock with a cry of "Mummy, I need a poo" and the fact that Madhouse Daddy Mike only dragged himself out of bed at 9.30 (so I couldn't get to the scales), I had breakfast (a big slice of homemade apple cake - delicious !) before weighing myself so I'm not counting it. The scales said 79.1kg which I thought was horrendous but looking at last week's weekly weigh-in post, I was at 78.9kg and today's weigh-in was with my pyjamas on, after breakfast and without going for a wee so that's not bad actually and may even count as a loss !
Anyway, I'm not changing my totals this week, we'll see what the scales say next week.
Positives of the week
- Back to eating at the school canteen is definitely not a positive - the first day back was particularly bad. A plateful of tinned ravioli with some lettuce drowned in salad dressing slapped on top. Hmm ravioli with vinaigrette mixed into the sauce and warm, wilted lettuce. Nice ! But I did the best I could and had fruit for dessert each day.
- I wore a new pair of jeans that were too tight before - and they kept slipping down !
- Looking at the photos that I published on last week's weigh-in post have kept me hugely motivated and shown that, whatever the scales say, I'm doing fabulously and shouldn't beat myself up about it ! Always nice to get great feedback too :)
- I took some photos for the face peel post and I think the shape of my face has changed too - I'm sure it looks less round than on my twitter profile picture !!
- We went to the eat-all-you-like Chinese buffet and I didn't come out with the usual bloated "I've eaten too much" feeling. I had a huge plate of slad for starter, a normal sized plateful of food (not piled as high as possible with everything possible piled on there !) and a small bowl of ice cream with a pineapple fritter for dessert. Yum ! Could have been worse ! *Mutters it's that SlimPod again !*
