Only a 1lb gain over Christmas.  Wow.  That is Amazeballs.  Dead dodgy scales at SW but most people had huge gains so not that bad.  Mammoth swim yesterday.

Started my new focus following the Benjamin Franklin system of self improvement.

Stand back, I'm not sure my skin will hold it all in.  I can feel myself getting fatter and fatter, heavier and heavier as I take less and less exercise and gradually morph into my sofa.

Such fun.

I set my maximum weight gain for Christmas at 172.  Still a way to go then!

I ate SO much and drank SO much.  It was lovely lovely lovely.  And now to play with my nutribullet.  It seems to require a pineapple and a pear.  Where am I going to find those on bank holiday Boxing Day with all the shops shut?  Mr Smith doesn't think of the whole thing but I suppose he wouldn't have known without opening the box to review the instructions.

Some exercise?  Dog walk?  Well, maybe.  I do have lovely new wellies.

Dreadful Friday - but no booze
Good Saturday - but too much booze.

167

Getting better.  The only thing I am doing differently is going to the gym more.  So I will do more.

169

Well blow me down with a feather ... After a weekend away I haven't gained weight.  That just proves  my theory of eat more lose more.  When I undereat I do not lose weight.  I wish I had weighed myself yesterday because I think it woud have been less.  Anyway, I will do big exercise ans sensible eating today.  In fact I will aim to do that all week.

Oh bollocks.  Gym gym, swimswim, horrible food, only veg with rice noodles for dins, no cakes or biscuits or anything nice and I have put on weight.  Grrrr.  

168

Took no exercise whatsoever.  Bought a Christmas tree.  My goodness I am fed up with eating horrible food that makes me feel sick.

Spirulina - slime from the bottom of a fish tank would taste better.
Vegetable curry - hot vomit.
Vegetarian risotto - so much nicer once Mr Smith had added chorizzo.
Blueberry and banana juice - potentially great but so wasn't.
Vegan cheese - solidified sick.

I need a bacon sarnie.

I wonder what horrors we have in store today.

I didn't lose weight because I did not go swimming as I usually do on a Tues. I lolled about and didn't feel like it.  I went to Christine's soup kitchen at her church for lunch and had a lovely brocolli and non vegan Stilton soup.  Yum yum.  With bread - no butter.

I don't like being vegan any more.  Spirulina is vile but can be outnastied by my vegetable curry which was absolutely disgusting.  I ate all sorts of bad things at quilting including loads of cheese straws which were wrong on a hundred levels and peanuts which I don't even like - all washed down with a couple of glasses of wine.  They were actually of some benefit in that they made my drive home much warmer and easier.

I drank more wine and ate two shortbread biscuits and, for a bit, felt human.

Today I am on the sloe gin.  Quite lovely.

Golden day of vile vegan fare.  No dairy, no sugar, no meat, no eggs, no cheese, no cakes, no biscuits, no alcohol.  Blinking heck I am amazed I found anything to eat at all.  I had alpro in tea, nut cheese, veg risotto with quinoa.  And today I am going for a bright green spirulina drink.  And a swim.

169

All set for vegetarian week.

I love my vegan cheese.

171

Ooooh eck.  And a big lunch to come.

Vegan week tomorrow.

169

Not a notable difference despite gym and big big walk.

170

why?  When I have been so bloody golden.  No wine no cake no biscuits.  Nothing nice.

168

Despite a HUGE gym session and GIANT swim I am still 168 but I am bunged up and I hurt inside.
I ate perfectly.
I did have two glasses of white wine but so what, that should aid my digestion.

I am awaiting the delivery of my plant power book with great anticipation.  This should be a great aid to my five days.

Decision: no more Slimming World after December.  Enough already.  I know how to do it now so I don't need to keep paying every stupid week.  Also when I go away I will then have to rejoin on my return which will mean I start again and my 17lbs lost will never be counted again.  That is chizzy.
