Lose to win – Week 15

It’s been an up and down week diet wise

After last week’s weight loss I started off really positive and upbeat – convinced I would lose much more this week.

On Wednesday I went to a funeral where tapas was served.  And me being me I went for the unhealthy option – chorizo.

This also led to a bit of a chocolate craving – when I say a bit of I mean a massive chocolate craving.  So I went home and demolished a bar of Teasers chocolate.  And I don’t mean a small bar I mean a huge bar.

They call it a share bar – but not in my world

By Thursday I was back in controls – well sort of – I didn’t have more chocolate but couldn’t resist a piece of cake at work.

Friday was much easier then Saturday arrived.  And this week that meant a night out with the lovely Joanne Weightman

And anyone who knows me will know that doesn’t just mean a couple of bottles of prosecco but also some rhubarb and ginger gin – delicious but loaded with calories – not good for the diet.

But yesterday the sun was shining and I was ready to get back on track.  After spending the morning listening to former Foreign Secretary David Miliband talking about the EU referendum

Vote Remain

I spent the afternoon in the garden and ate really healthily.  But I should have known it wouldn’t last.  And sure enough at about 8 o’clock I was feeling really peckish and decided to make myself an omelette.  Now a two egg omelette is only 140 calories (I use spray oil) so that wouldn’t be too bad.  Except I made a 4 egg omelette.  And then I added some cheese, the lower fat kind, but cheese non the less.  Oh and then I decided a nice dollop of chilli mayo would make it even better.  So that was yesterday’s diet ruined as well.

So after a week of up’s and down’s I wasn’t sure whether my weight would go up or down.   And the result is……….

Up or down? It had to be up this week

Of course it went up – so that’s a down.  But only by 1 pound – so that’s an up.  It’s a set back – so another down.  But it means £2 instead of £1 for the Charlie Cookson Foundation – and that is the best up of them all
