A lazy weekend

I feel like I've really got used to eating well now, and I don't even feel hunger pangs or real cravings for bad food. Of course I'd still like to be able to eat them! But I feel like I've got some great willpower at the moment! I went to the pub tonight for a pub quiz, and I drank a lime and soda water, the most low cal drink apart from tap water. Also, there were crisps on the table and I felt no need to have any.



I've found I haven't been eating well at all. I have my morning toast but I've been missing the fruit, and at lunch I don't get around to having the salad, I only find time to eat the fruit. I do want to make sure I eat salad too, but I have no lunch breaks, so it is a bit difficult. I'm also not drinking enough. I'm having loads of green tea, 2 or 3 cups a day, which I'm really enjoying. But I lose my water bottle straight away, and can't ever find it again!! This is a problem!!!




So today is weigh in day. And the end of the month. I've gone through one whole month and it wasn't horrendous. It was actually, really good. And this One month down, 11 to go!

So, weigh in, and from Monday I lost three pounds. I am now 16 stone and 10 pounds, and altogether, I've lost 1 stone and 2 pounds.

My measurements now are:

Waist: 41.5"
Hips: 51"
Thigh: 30"
Arms: 16"

This means that I have so far lost an inch and a half around my waist, an inch around my hips, an inch around my thigh and no change around my arms. This is in the space of 2 weeks. I quite like seeing this slow change. More importantly, my jeans are too big. Yay!

Tonight, however, is my father-in-laws birthday, and as tradition has it, I will be eating Chinese takeaway with the family. I will have to be very careful about what I eat.



So yesterday, I made sure to only drink water in the evening with the takeaway, and I ordered a special chow mein, as that seems to be the healthiest thing from a Chinese, from research. However, it was the only dish that also didn't show up!!! So I had a bit of everything else, some rice, a rib, some stir fry, etc. I tried to be really careful and I certainly didn't feel overly full afterwards either. This morning I jumped on the scales, and I seemed the same weight, so I feel quite happy about that. Today I've been out buying more fruit and veg, I've eaten healthily all day, but I'm feeling a bit peckish now!! I think a cup of tea and an early night might be in store!
