Another one down

This week has been quite a good one all told. I’ve managed my food quite nicely. I had a quiet weekend and was introduced to a new way of having pasta! 

There was a cracking night out at a burlesque show on Friday night. Something I’d never been to before. It was an experience that I hope to repeat some time soon. I knew a couple of the ladies that were incredibly brave enough to perform in front of a group of strangers and I was amazed at how confident it made these ladies feel.

I think that there may be parallels with the weight loss. I’m not showing off and neither were these girls but the increase in confidence is getting better.

I had to work on Saturday last weekend. That’s never great. A very busy day and I should have gone for a beer or two after work but I resisted the temptation. Had a quiet Sunday too although that may have included a tube of Pringles and Beetroot hummus!

Monday was spent with the mum. Holly was due to go to the Vets for a check up as she’s been a bit poorly recently. We ended up at the Beefeater again for food. Had a nice meal Gammon steak, fried egg, peas and a baked spud. No chips! (Apart from the two or three that mum couldn’t finish!)

The rest of the week was quite good too. I made a new batch of chilli for my lunches. Nothing really new in that but I’ve discovered that I quite like a bit of cheese on it. I can afford to have it as a syn. 

I’ve also discovered Pesto. I never ever had pesto on pasta before. My friend suggested I try it a few weeks ago and my it’s tasty. It’s two syns for a tablespoon but it’s enough to coat a good mound of pasta which is of course, free.

It’s week two post Jennie and we have a different stand-in consultant this evening. Group is good with the usual mob around and some really good weight losses this evening. 

For me, I did lose this week. I lost 3.5lbs this week. After having put on last week I’m best pleased that I smashed the gain and dropped another pound too.

My next week will be a bit of a challenge. I have an afternoon out with work tomorrow and that will entail a bit of beer and a barbecue. I hope that I’ll be on my best behaviour and I’ll definitely try to chose the best food that I can.

It may be a late one but I plan on getting the last bus home. Yeah! And monkey’s might fly out of my butt! 😉
