Weigh in 1 cont.....

I lost 3 whole pounds at first weigh in. Onwards and upwards. Or should that be downwards?

Weigh in 1

Yikers - have the first weigh in in T- 3hrs, 2 minutes and about 27 seconds.

I have to say I am in two minds - I know I have been good, I have followed the plan to the letter, and by the fact that I have reduced my Pepsi intake from 3 cans a day to 3 over the whole week can only be a good thing, as well as my tea intake dropping from 6-8 cups a day, down to two, or maybe three at the most ( I have to count the sugar, so depends what else I have eaten).

But, there is that lingering fear that I won't have lost anything, or crikey, what if i have put on! I will feel like crying, and it's only my first week.

In an effort to inspire / motivate myself, I took some horrible photos of me in my bra and pants this morning, which you will be thankful to know that I won't be posting, well, not yet anyway, perhaps when I'm several stone down, I might do it as a before and after.......we'll see.

I have also uploaded the runkeeper app to my phone, so I can track my feeble attempts at exercise ......baby steps first!

Anyway, am off to make some home made veg soup for lunch. So will be back later with the result, good or bad!

Try, try, try again!

So, I'm up to dieting 'no good' again.

I've joined Slimmingworld, Mom decided to go and asked me to join her. It's one of the few remaining commercial ones that I haven't tried previously.

I can't say that I am stoked by the idea, but I seriously need to do something. When I was weighed, not only had I put back on the stone I lost after the hypno-band, but almost another stone on top. Not good.

The Slimming World Consultant - or SW Lady as she will now be known, is lovely - very smiley, and extremely , but I suspect that she will be very encouraging, and promises a call in the week to see how we're all getting on.

Admittedly, I chose a rubbish week to start - I am off work this week, so could pick away to my hearts content all day - so the chickens will be getting a feast of crisps and biscuits tonight for tea! Anyway - today has gone well, so far. I had melon, plum and banana for brekkie, followed by the be-yoo-tiful open sandwich to the left. Chicken, some very peppery rocket, and plum tomatoes. Then I had a chunk of water melon as an afternoon snack!

So, I suspect I may be running to the loo a little bit while the old body gets used to it's new fuel, but I shall persevere.

The icing on the cake though, is that the other half chose to join completely of his own free will! So a bit of healthy competition!

Weigh in is next Monday, and I'll see you on the other side........
