Apologies for not having blogged in so long. Everything has been so hectic. It has meant that I have been eating out most nights and have had to just make sure that I make good choices. As such, I was not expecting a particularly good loss and would have been quite pleased to have maintained.
I graduated from university this week (postgrad) which involved a posh dinner out and I indulged, having a rather decadent pudding. I have also been working from another city all week which has kept me on my toes and very busy.
So I went along to a different group, which was rather odd. There weren't many people there and the consultant, although lovely, was a little annoying. I stepped on the scales and was amazed to discover that I have lost 4 1/2lb this week! How that happened, I have no idea! During image therapy, I made it clear that I didn't think that I deserved to have lost so much but I am certainly not complaining.
This meant that I hit 1 1/2 stone on the nose and also got the award of slimmer of the week! I wish I had been there with my friend who also lost 4 1/2lb.
Yet again I don't feel as if I am slimmer; although my friend's Mum noticed at graduation and it was very kind of her to say so. What I have noticed, however, is that I am taking a little more pride in how I look. I am putting my hair into curlers, putting makeup on properly and making sure that my work clothes look good before I go out. I have even purchased a new fluffy hat!
All in all, everything is positive. However, I am off to Lanzarote on Monday and I am so nervous about putting on weight. I want to enjoy myself, but I also really want to reach Club 10, which is only 2lb away. I am really hoping that I can up my body magic whilst I am away with swimming and walking, and make sensible dinner decisions. However, it is the ice creams etc. that concern me. I a also hoping that going on holiday with my very slim friend will make me want it even more and keep me on track. Fingers crossed. I'll let you know how it goes when I get back. I wonder if a tan weighs more than being milk-bottle white? hehe.
I don't think that I have ever lost so much weight on a diet or stuck to it for so long. I realise that some people have been doing this diet for years and so my short time pales in comparison; but I am genuinely proud of myself and I love feeling better about myself.
