Post Break Up Body

Weigh in day. I woke up early because I could feel that I'd lost a good amount this week. On my holiday, I had eaten carbs but otherwise had not had much food and had exercised a lot, so there should have been water weight to come off. On top of that it's been a very clean week.

7lbs off.

That's 5lbs over the last 2 weeks. Thrilled with that result. Puts me at 17lbs loss so far and almost half way to my weight loss goal.

A bit about my food yesterday, I stuck to the plan, but also sat and had 2 small glasses of wine with housemates in the evening. I was feeling very hungry/bored through the afternoon until the pizza, so dinner was very early for me.

Not sure of my food plan today, but I'm going to the ski slope to practice some of the things I learned on the mountain.

Hoping that documenting my food for the day will stop me from having any more tonight, so here goes:

Had another lentil, halloumi salad, pesto thing for an early lunch. Around 350cal. Then went to the dry slope for 90 minutes.

After the slopes, I had a glass of wine at the bar there waiting for a friend to finish their lesson.

Back at the house I had the left over cauliflower mash and 2 sausages from earlier in the week c. 450cal.

Must be just under 1000 calories for the day. But we are about to settle in for movie night and there is popcorn, Oreos and cupcakes being passed around. Just stick to a cup of tea and we'll be fine.

I think I need to add a couple of hundred extra calories to yesterday. I had an aero bubble, some pieces of popcorn, a little bit of buttercream icing from a cupcake. Buttercream - my goodness, I love it.

Today, I haven't had anything yet as I've been shopping all day, but there is a chicken roast in the oven. Can't wait!

I have nothing planned at all next week so I'm wondering about doing some exercise. Going for a couple of walks perhaps. Not sure but I'll have a think. Anything to avoid sitting in the house thinking about food planning.

It can become all consuming, can't it? Getting out for a walk sounds like a nice idea. Weather's turned nice again here. My desk gets the sun, which is nice!

Today I went for lunch with my mum. It was a random pub, so no calorie info. I ate a whitebait starter. Which was about 15? Flour coated whitebait with a bit of tartar sauce. I have no idea about calories, so let's say 400? Add to that 250 cal white wine. Dinner tonight, I'll try to stick to around 300 cal but I'm not sure what we are cooking yet.

This week so far has felt very easy, although I have missed target calories twice. The benefit of such a restrictive diet is you can over do the calories, and still be in deficit.

Finished the day off with half a lamb steak, mint yogurt and salad for around 250 cal.

I got up this morning and did an unofficial weigh in - I've been doing that every Tuesday to get a sense of how my weight loss is tracking. I'm currently ahead of my goal for this week but I'm in the stage in my cycle where I always look my most lean, so I think my hormones are dumping water weight right now. This is the first time I've ever tracked scale results like this, so I'm really interested to see how/if weight loss results are affected by the time in the month.

Plan for today - I'm making everyone a big Bolognese for dinner and I'll have that with broccoli. I have been told to find a recipe that uses white wine and milk as that is the traditional way to cook it - I've never heard of that before, but interested if it makes a difference.

For lunch, I think a couple of boiled eggs and a cucumber with hummus.
