Week 17

Day 3 – we went to Southport today and took a picnic as I really wanted to have a cream tea! In fact we had an ice-cream AND a cream tea! I really enjoyed both of them!

Day 4 – an ice-cream again today but I was very good and only had one scoop!

Day 7 – being good has paid off as I have lost 3lbs! I have now lost just over 2½ stone (36 pounds) and am half-way to my goal of 5 stone. The wedding is in 7 weeks and I have 6 pounds to lose but there is a lot of socialising in the coming weeks so it might be a struggle. Socialising starts now as we are on our way to Liverpool for 5 days and it’s going to be hard as we will be a party of 9 people.

Week 16

Day 1 – We were in Lancaster today and had lunch out – it was only a sandwich but that was followed by a blow-out Chinese meal in the evening plus wine. Is there any hope for me?

Day 2 – We were joined this evening by my cousin who is staying for the weekend. To be on the safe side I cooked a chicken chasseur for tonight and a chilli for tomorrow. We did, however, have a bottle of sparkling wine between us.

Day 3 – Sue treated us to lunch out. We had just done 6 very hard locks and were exhausted and hungry. We all had a pork roll with a small portion of chips which I certainly didn’t find in the Pro Points calculator!

Day 6 – Blackpool today! We had lunch before we went out but you can’t go to the seaside and not have an ice-cream can you?? As it was Blackpool we also had to have fish and chips! We chose Harry Ramsdens and had an excellent meal. Not sure what it has done to my weight as its weigh day tomorrow!

Day 7 – 2lbs wow! I don’t deserve it really. I have no excuse for not being good in the coming week so I hope I can give a good report next week.

Week 15

Day 2 – Another BBQ and again we had low fat sausages and chicken kebabs though there were also beefburgers and ordinary sausages on offer. However I did drink quite a bit of wine after my two gins :-)

Day 3 – Out for a 40th wedding anniversary lunch with my son’s future in-laws. I drove so only had a glass of bubbly for the toast. I don’t think I did too badly with the food and I didn’t eat again all day!

Day 5 – Back to the boat today. It was quite late by the time we had unpacked so we went out for a meal to the local pub. I probably overdid it but it was good!

Day 6 – Out for the day but I took a salad for my lunch and then devoured two scoops of Lake District ice cream – oh dear :-)

Day 7 – Well I stayed the same this week which isn’t surprising but still disappointing. I will have to try harder this week but we do have visitors this weekend.

Week 14

Day 3 – We are now at home for a week and I hope I can keep the regime up. I know I won’t be doing as much exercise but I will just have to be good.

Day 5 – We had a BBQ tonight and as everyone present is trying to lose weight for the wedding we had low fat sausages and lovely chicken kebabs which we made ourselves. We didn’t miss all the other meats that we would usually have cooked.

Day 6 – I spent the day sorting out my wardrobe and took 3 bags of too large clothes to the charity shop and I bag to the clothes bank. My wardrobe is looking very empty now!

Day 7 – 3 lbs! Once again I’m really pleased. This coming weekend is going to be hard though :-)
