18th Aug 2019 – SUCCESS! Kind of…

4lb of fat – GONE!!! more on that lower down – here’s my summary for the weekend.

So, I am on the whole pleased with the food this weekend, here’s what I had:

Saturday – 3 Turkey rashers sandwiched between two slices of seeded wholewheat bread, spread with olive spread, no sauce. For dinner mum-in-law cooked pasta with chicken and bacon in a low calorie ragu sauce. Mum-in-law also bought healthy nuts for snacks during games, I did have a couple of a few crisps and cheesy nibbles, but not a lot. There was quite a bit of alcohol, my in laws have discovered a new rum. It was lovely!

Sunday – 2 slices of toast for breakfast, gammon (no fat), my healthy spuds and loads of veg for dinner. I turned down ice cream – GO ME 😆

Now we’re home, Paul (the significant other) and I had cucumber, celery and humus. There have been a couple of cups of tea, and a few tablets – not just for alcohol induced reasons – but I’m currently enjoying (?) a glass of water.

I’ll be preparing my salad and eggs for the first half of week shortly.

Exercise – none.

I had prepared myself for a potential weight gain this week, and there would have been perfectly good reasons for it – 1. The mysterious weight I gain during my menstrual cycle, 2. The exercise and possible muscle increase, 3. The naughties which have jumped into my mouth last week.

I wouldn’t have been disappointed because I don’t believe the naughties would have made that much difference, I can’t help my biology, and I have worked hard on exercises, so I had it in my head that actually I would have lost had I not been at that time of the month.

Well… I didn’t lose or gain, but…

My body fat has been reduced by 1.9kg, that’s just over 4lb of actual fat!! I’m sooo pleased, and although I would have loved to see the overall weight go down, I feel fantastic knowing the exercises I had done has made such a huge difference! See below for last week’s and this week’s tickets:

So glad I took more than a cursory glance at all that other info!

Hopefully my stomach will calm down in a day or two and I can start exercising again.

I’m so excited to be carrying on, I can’t wait to see what I can achieve next week 😊

Anyway, goodnight for now.
