1lb gain this week – it was expected to be honest, I’ve spent most of this week out of the office and had to eat out Monday night as I was in a hotel, ate a large breakfast on Tuesday morning and grabbed a burger king from the services yesterday.  I’m out just once more today and I’m going to take a packed lunch with me which I’ll eat at some point, saves on points.

Start Weight : 23st 3lb
Current Weight : 19st 12 lb
Change this week : + 1lb
Total Weight Loss : 03st 5lb
Time Taken : 208 days

Should manage to get this thing back on track for next week – positive side of this is that I’m still 2lb below 20st, which means I’ve kinda stabilised below that threshold.  Super.  Not much else to report in at the moment, don’t feel fantastic but I’ve felt worse.

I thought my dinner budget was set at £20 – turns out it was £25, damnit I could have had a pudding!

Still, I guess its better that I didn’t.  I’ve pointed the evening meal, as its a Beefeater, the points were in the system, well apart from this strange onion loaf thing, but I’ve got plenty of spare points for that.  I’ve also worked out a little today so I’ve gotten some activity points, no idea how many though, I was sweating buckets!

I’ll be happy with any weight below the 20st mark this week, that gives me a 3lb buffer from 19st 11-20st, If I stay the same, excellent, if I lose a little, even better.  Back on track next week.

I was supposed to be having chilli tonight – when I got home I had such a massive craving for fish and chips, I couldn’t do anything but order from the place in Thornton that delivers.

By gosh it was worth it – theres nothing like a bit of battered haddock with chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.

Not the best start to the new week – ate a mars bar at work because I was hungry and also helped out with a rather large jar of sweets that made their way into the office this afternoon (I’m staying well clear of them tomorrow!!)

I know I didn’t eat 7 points worth but theres no harm in overpointing it for the sake of it.

These next 7 days are going to be tricky.  Very tricky.  I’m out away from work all week next week doing installs and I’ll be eating out Monday lunchtime, monday evening, tuesday lunchtime, wednesday lunchtime, thursday lunchtime, thursday evening and fri lunch.  Oh and breakfast Tuesday/Friday.

I think the plan for Tuesday/Friday is to essentially have a large breakfast, skip lunch and then have a hearty tea.  I’ll try to take a packed lunch with me when my days are starting off from home but I’m not sure how the sandwiches will fare in the care all day – we’ll have to see about a coolbox (if there’s any space in the car).

12 points down but Sue is working tomorrow and Saturday and I have planned meals so should be able to save 8 points over the next two days with relevant ease.  If the weather is fair I’ll see about maybe heading into town for a walk too.  It was pissing down with rain today so I played some Mario kart with Tom.  Fun times!
