Week 2

This past week wasn’t without it’s challenges. Monday we had a board meeting that went on over lunch – so there was huge temptation to dive in ad have a handful or two of very appealing sandwiches. managed to get through that, and have a ham salad I had prepared before leaving for work that morning. Tuesday I was in Edinburgh. On the train down I was offered a full cooked breakfast, bacon roll or a croissant – I had hoped for a slice of toast, but that wasn’t on offer. took the croissant and a yoghurt. entered the points on the WW app, and bingo, I had just ingested 13 of my 29 points for the day!! The good news about Tuesday is that there was only one meeting in Edinburgh and I managed to get six miles walking in that day, and I had ordered pies to be delivered to the office to celebrate my 40th anniversary of starting work – and one of the chaps hade put in an order for samosas to celebrate his birthday – so I body swerved them by being away. Wednesday was my bi-monthly town hall to the team, where we serve pizza. My chat over, I headed up stairs pursued by the aroma emanating from more than a dozen pizza boxes being opened. Thursday and Friday were quite benign, then Saturday evening my wife & I were out with friends for dinner. To celebrate the fact it had been two weeks since I started the diet I had the fish & chips – and just to be daring, I had skinny fries instead of the chunky chips, bad squared! This ate into by weekly allowable on top of my daily allowable, but not totally using them up (I finished the week with 13 of the 42 points remaining). Anyway I lapped the lot up. A great night out and no alcohol was consumed.

Over the week I got 28.5 miles in walking to work and getting out at lunchtime every day except Monday.

Weigh in this morning I was at 15st 10.5lbs; so 4 1/2 lbs down on the week.

I am pretty pleased with that if we take Tuesday’s breakfast and Saturday’s dinner into account
