It was my birthday last Wednesday. My darling husband took me to London to see a show, then out for Dim Sum and cocktails. That evening we got back late and shared a bottle of cava in bed, whilst munching on a small box of Lindt Lindor, my favourite chocolates which were a birthday present (treat) from Neil. It's actually the first birthday I've not had at least one piece of cake so I think I deserved them.
On Thursday we snuggled under the duvet all day and watched movies, ordering an Indian take away for dinner. Saturday was a Spanish feast of nibbles, tapas, seafood paella and wine, prepared by myself, with my family, so Sunday meant a hangover lunch of fish and chips, followed by sticky toffee pudding was the only possible choice at the pub with Neil's parents.
Friday was a good day. I went to my yoga class, having not been since before Christmas and my teacher told me I looked fabulous and asked me if I'd lost loads of weight. What a boost! I think one of things that I'm struggling with on this diet is patience. I know this is by far the best and most sensible way to lose weight but I just want to be thin again, yesterday!
So when weigh day came on Sunday morning I decided there was no way I was going to make myself miserable, I would just have a super good week this week. On Monday though the curiosity got the better of me and I stripped off and hopped on the scales, breathing in and holding my breath.
Well I couldn't believe it. Despite all of those treats I still lost 1lb! I was so pleased it's made me even more determined to just keep going. I'm pretty sure my next weigh in will show the true effects so if I can have a really tight week this week (so far so good as haven't gone into my weekly allowance and have had between 5 and 9 points per day left) I should be able to cheat the system, so to speak.
More recipes to come, so watch this space and stay skinny.
