Week 7 - not such a good one!
We spent week 7 visiting family so that my son could say his goodbyes as he left home to join the Army.
First off, we went to Grampa (my Dad) - pub meal out, chose salmon but it wasn't a great meal and I didn't eat it all.
The next day, we went to visit Nan and Grandad and the Great Aunts and Uncles - more meals out, clotted cream on top of ice creams with flakes in and generally poor food! Was informed by my Mum that eating grapes would make me fat!
Managed to fit in a 30 minute swim and we also did lots of walking on one of the days up and down cliffs!
Then the end of the week we took him off to the Army - his best friend was going in too and we rented a farmhouse about 20 miles from the base and the two families stayed there all together. Lovely village pub with great food but lots of alcohol too!
Result of week 7? 1lb on - oh dear!
Week 8 was much better - think I needed something to focus on to take my mind off the fact that he was gone and was not texting or ringing home!
Managed exercise - aquafit and then a 2 hour walk with hubby at the weekend and with other small bits of activity I was almost at 200 minutes for the week.
Had some great meals, but managed to stay more or less within my points and used up all of my weeklies as well!
Weigh in this week was 1.7kg off bringing me to a total of 8.5 kg in total in 8 weeks - that my friends is a great weight loss as far as I am concerned!
My work uniforms are starting to feel looser, I can do up my raincoat more easily and my new work trousers are starting to feel loose.
I am due to measure myself this weekend to see if I have lost any more inches - it does feel like it.
So, onwards and downwards as they say - here's hoping that week 9 is a good one!
