...in which the new target creeps inexorably closer
Today is Monday, and therefore it is weigh-in day. I lost 3lbs since last week, but since I'm not allowed alcohol or basically anything I actually like to eat that might make me fat at the moment that's not a huge surprise.
With that said, I'm currently on my 3rd can of cider (it's made of apples, so it must be good, right?). I suspect my stomach will get its revenge for this tomorrow, but we shall see. I have tablets and stuff. And I've been sensible for like 5 days. That's waaay longer than I usually manage.
Err...I'm sure there was a point to this post but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. This may or may not be related to cider and the consumption thereof.
Oh yes, food. You really don't want to know what I've eaten for the last few days because it basically boils down to chicken (without any kind of spices), pasta/rice and vegetables. I have made stuff like beef stew and chicken curry for the rest of the family but I'm not allowed to eat any of it so I've mostly stuck to (non-acidic) fruit and lean meat with boiled or steamed vegetables.
I've also done quite a bit of exercise; today, for example, I ran to the gym, then did an hour of exercise in the gym, and then ran home again because apparently that's something I can do now. When I got home I felt really good, Knackered, but good.
I did the Rainbow Run in Wrexham yesterday, and it was really rather excellent fun - a group of us from our Slimming World group met up there, and it was a great laugh to meet up with other SW members and raise some money for a good cause at the same time. I even managed to resist the complimentary bacon roll afterwards and swap it for a banana (mainly because I'm not supposed to have bacon at all due to gastritis, but I'm still calling it a triumph of willpower).
I think I may be doing this sort of thing rather more often in the future...watch this space, as they say. In the meantime, here's a picture of me at the end of the race (I think I was in the top 20 out of 1000 people):
So...4lb from target (I've now lost 3st 10lb in just over 8 months), which I can make this week if I have a good week. Been a bit naughty tonight with the cider, but it's pretty much guaranteed that I'll be good for the rest of the week (as long as I don't drink too much).
