January Came Close

My week on the World of Slim hasn’t been too bad this week. I think that it could have been better but for the moment I’m happy with the way it has gone.

Friday was the beginning of my new Slimming World week. There’s me hoping that I could replicate the last two weeks with a third loss in a row.

Friday was a nice quiet day. I finished work and despite everything felt quite chilled about the day. Our calls are now ring fenced after 11am so that means we only take non-CCT contact for three hours a day. I can still take upwards of 13 calls in that time and that is just plainly rediculous.

An Iceland delivery turned up and a lot of it was meat that needed to be used quite quickly. I had some chilli left over and some Bolognese that I cooked last week. The chicken was quite short dated. I had to use that on the weekend and there was some mince that had to be used quickly too.

A bit disappointed with Iceland as they usually have better dates on their stuff but I suppose as it was fresh rather than frozen then you take a chance.

Anyway, Saturday was a good day. I went to see the Megadeth Album listening film at the Cinema with Birch. We headed off to Brewdog afterwards, had a beer there. Then headed up to Tiny Rebel, had one there, over to City Arms and then on to Fuel for an extreme metal gig. Which was nice.

There were a few beers consumed but I was on the last bus home so in bed by Midnight.

Sunday was as usual. Only a slight hangover from the previous day. It was again a roast dinner. There was lots of left over chicken but I didn’t do much with the left overs.

I cooked a cottage pie with the mince that I needed to use. Most of it was Slimming World friendly but perhaps I could have reduced the cheese on the top as I think I used quite a bit but everything else was good!

I’ve been keeping an eye on my swips this last few weeks and I’ve been well inside my allowance for the day.

Monday and Tuesday in office I was good and I had a nice swim on Tuesday. Wednesday was a bit of a quiet afternoon but I think I deserved it as the phones were manic in the morning. I did very little and while I should have gone out for a walk in the afternoon, the weather has just been awful so I stayed in and tucked myself under my lovely fleecy blanket!

Tale of the Scale.

I had hoped for a good result this evening. A good loss to keep me in the running for Slimmer of the Week again.

The scales of doom had other ideas and while I did have the third loss in a row, it was only half a pound this week.

I think I know where I went wrong as in beers on Saturday. I also had some Slimming World pancakes which were lovely but went very quickly!

They’ve got new Cookies and Cream Hi-Fi bars this week and I can forsee those disappearing quite quickly this week. I will do my best to resist the temptation!

I had hoped for a better week and felt like that it was going to be good but not as good as I’d hoped.

Next week

Not much planned for this weekend. I have a games night on Saturday that promises to be a good laugh. I’ve got a Traitors Card Game to play and some other card game that I can take with me.

I’m getting a lift there but I’ll not be drinking. There may be snacks and some vegan grub but I will watch what I eat and hopefully it will be a fun night.

The rest of the weekend is fairly quite too. I will book my swims in and I WILL look to get out and go for a walk.

Wish me well. 🙂
