So how was everybody's Bank Holiday? Mine was good... hot and good. Saturday I went down to see my brother and family as it was my nieces Birthday - I have to say I was really proud of myself as I was at a three year old's birthday party and there were so many sweet treats and things and I did not have one! Then for lunch my brother offered Pizza and I had two small slices and then filled up on Salad! On Sunday morning I did have a sneak peak on the scales and was really thrilled to see 187lbs...so happy. On Sunday I spent the day tidying and going food shopping as Biggy was coming home in the evening.... and I prepared a really yummy dinner of lamb escalopes with a rosemary, red wine and mushroom sauce served with white rice all washed down with some yummy cava. It was so good to have Biggy back and was so nice just to catch up with him and hear about his trip... due to Sunday night's dinner when I did the weigh in on Monday I did see 188lbs and although I was so tempted to record 187lbs I knew it wouldn't really be right... so I didn't.
Monday is my cheat day and I had planned to take Biggy out for lunch to a really posh pub by the river, it was all going well until we had to wait 1hour for our starters and then a further 1.5 hours for our mains so in total we were there for 2.5 hours....and we actually left before our mains came out. I was gutted and happy at the same time (mainly due to saving my bank balance a whack). Our starters were really nice as we had a sharing meze platter to not too unhealthy but my main was a homemade Cheeseburger ....I was so looking forward to it but at the same time god knows how many calories would have been in it! It was such a shame that our meal went wrong as really wanted to treat Biggy, the restaurant comp'd our starter but to be honest I wasn't very impressed. That's the trouble of having worked in hospitality for so long you know exactly what's wrong in certain situations. It was purely a lack of forecasting and not enough staff...rocky mistake to make my friend ..rocky mistake to make!
Instead we managed to get to a Supermarket before 4 and I bought a Pizza Express Pizza - it was about 700 cals for the whole thing and although I was going to have one of their 500 cals ones I did have a moment of "F It" and then we also bought some ice cream to have as well .. a certain brand of cookie dough ice cream! I felt like I was about to pop after but it was funny as all I had for breakfast was melon and a few months ago to polish of a whole pizza and some ice cream would have been totally normal. Yay me!
The not snacking in between meals is really working out for me at the moment as well which I am really pleased about and I am also learning to ride-out hunger pangs. Today I have really cut down on the calories mainly due to the amount I ate yesterday, I know I don't need more food as I still haven't used the food I consumed yesterday so I can equal out the calories consumed.
Hopefully all of this will have a positive effect on the scales for next week as I am literally inching closer to that big 13 stone mark (182lbs)
