Porridge

Weight: 11.11
Good news, I haven't put on any more weight. I took myself for a swim and a sit in the steam room to help my stinky flu and hacking cough. Do I feel better? Not sure actually. I think I need an afternoon nap after a nice bowl of LL porridge.

Sweet and nasty

11.11
I took my eye off for one second and, although I ate very little, I ate sugary things and Wallop! Who's a fatso? Also I am ill and can't exercise.

No bread, no pasta, no rice, no sugar in any form - then I will be thin!

Battling

11.9 and battling.

OK - Sunday lunch was horrendous, but it could have been so much worse and seeing as it was preceded by a huge swim and followed by a long dog walk I think 2lbs was probably about right.

Today I walked and Zumbaed.

Christmas lunch is about 3,500 calories which would take 14 hours of brisk exercise to fight through - scary eh?

Dinner tonight is pretty easy. Mr Smith wants nothing. Kid wants leftover pie. Ill Apprentice wants soup and I can have diet food. All is happy.

Really down

Weight 11.7 .... for about five minutes but I was ready to pass out with hunger.

Will this week be a good week? Possibly. I can take control and watch the drinking then the eating should slot into place neatly behind.. The brill thing about LL is having the tools.

Binge

Weight: 11.9

But yesterday afternoon, if it didn't move I ate it. I ate a christmas cupcake that I didn't really like, then 4 M&S buttery biscuits of the big fat shortbread with bits of toffee, nuts or chocolate. Then I had a sarni, actually two, with a glass of wine at MR along with some crisps then when I got home I had more wine and the best part of a roast chicken with big chunks dipped in gravy along with a sausage and masses of camembert, more wine and some stilton then more of both of those. Am I mad? Probably.

Big swim today. Actually, now.

Undoing the damage

Weight 11.11

Going down, but what hard work. I am STARVING.

Oh woe is me

Weight: 11 13

OOOh eck. I went to a million parties and I must have accidentally eaten some of the guests.

Strange day

New loo seat encouraged a poo.
Swam 50 lengths. Didn't eat much but drank too much
Weight is a bit odd - I'll let you know tomorrow. It's somewhere between 11.8 and 11.10 depending on its location on the bathroom floor.

Swimmingly

11.9 but very bunged up.
Desperately need a poo then will be lighter. Also need some exercise - off to swim the Hellespont.

Hugely huge

Weight: 11.13
Stand back I'm going to explode.
Oh God, what happened? I know I went a bit off diet but this is diabolical. I will have to be golden all day for several days until I sort this out.
I did one and a half exercise classes today and felt fabbo. Next week I will do both all the way through. I had enough energy, just not enough time. I am going to conquer this damned weight problem. I want to be 10 stone something by Feb.

Up up and away

11.11
Oh dear. (Actually, it was 11.12 but I had a poo.)
This is because, despite swimming 50 lengths yesterday, I then went out for dinner and ate everything I could and drank everything I could so now I am enormously fat with an enormously fat hangover. Oh stupid me.

Slow slow quick quick snow

11.9
This is a gain but I am quite happy as too fast is too scarey and I want to slow down just a teeny bit. I kept pretty much on diet yesterday though I did have wine - bad girl.

I think I need my layers of fat to keep warm in this cold weather. Yesterday I did absolutely nothing but blob about lazily, spending much of the day in bed hiding from the snow. Today I will swim or at least go to Aqua Zumba if nothing else.
