So I’ve weighed again today and despite all of the hard work, I’ve only managed to lose a single pound.

I know that a loss is a loss but I’m a bit disappointed that I hadn’t lost any more. I think I know where I’m going wrong though. The plan has what they call speed food. Your plate should have 1/3 speed food. Thing is that I’m a fussy bugger and while the free food is grand, the speed foods are a bit alien to me.

I can do some of them. Carrots and swede are in there. They can be mashed too. I must admit that I love that. I need to try and cook more food. The cottage pie that I made last week was fantastic and I know I can do that again, perhaps with a mix of spud and carrots as a topping.

Still, a loss is a loss. I’m out on the weekend for a social so that may be a tricky one. Hopefully I can stay close to the plan and not venture too far off it. We’ll see how we go.
