Saintly Slimmers Silver Seven

Woohoo!!! Last night I got my first silver seven since returning to weight watchers meetings in June. I lost 1 and 1/2 lbs which takes me to 10st 11 and 1/2 lbs and only another 1 and 1/2 lbs to go till I have lost 5% of my body weight! That shall be my goal for next week (although I do have a wedding to go to on saturday so it is possible that I will over indulge ... but my dress fits fabulously)! I am edging closer and closer to my goal, yes indeedy do.

I don't particularly feel like I deserved so much of a loss this week. After all, I started the week with a pizza after weigh in and although I clawed back the points through saving some each day and exercising like a good un my willpower was almost zero by saturday evening. On Saturday I worked particularly hard and resisted bacon and egg sandwhiches on thick white bread at breakfast time (I had nimble toast, 1 rasher with the fat removed and a poached egg) ... at lunch time I refused a McDonalds, even when Hubby ate his burger and fries right there in front of me I didn't even pinch one chip (instead I had a banana some grapes and a bag of weight wacthers hoops) ... so at 8pm when I was reeeeally hungry and Hubby didn't fancy any of my meal ideas and we were invited out for an Indian I am afraid I caved in. I ate a vegetable balti with stuffed paratha and two glasses of wine. I steered clear of the fried rice, the poppadoms, and all those deep fried starters and it seems I got away with it this time. In my defence I did do a whole heap of exercise this week including an hour and a half walk with Jaynie on Friday night after work which was very lovely and plenty of boxing on the wii fit plus some heavy duty mowing and weeding on Sunday.

I am not about to get complacent though ... I am convinced that my curry lbs had not had chance to stick! I had only a teensy weensy treat after weigh in (a glass of wine and half a Fry's chocolate creme) and I am fully back on track today so will have got back the additional two points that I ate by bedtime. I also need to do some hardcore point saving ready for the Wedding! It would be nice to lose again next week though, I really like the feeling :)
