Hello, everyone!. I've been rather busy this week and not had time to visit with you. Mid-week the scales were showing a loss of another pound but on the evening of my Thursday fast day my son came home with fish and chips for us and I just
had to eat them!
Well, it would have been rude not to!
I tried to limit the damage by leaving most of the batter and only eating some of the chips but it was still a rather hefty helping of carbs and fat!
To further compound this gluttony - yesterday my husband and I had to pop out for something at lunchtime and he suggested that we should eat in a new place that recently opened in the town. I ended up with the greasiest (and very delicious!) burger and fries! I munched my way through the whole thing, including the fried onion rings, bacon and cheese, although I couldn't manage all the fries!
He then had pancakes and I managed to eat one of those! To be fair, I then ate nothing all day except a very small tub of ice cream at the theatre in the evening but the scales this morning were showing exactly the same weight as at last week's weigh-in!
So, today, I have eaten nothing all day - except two apricots and the melted top off the small tub of salted caramel ice cream, which I bought when I went to the supermarket to buy lettuce! After I had eaten it I looked at the calories on the tub and, if I eat the whole tub, that will be 1200 calories!!!!!!
How do you rate the chance of me losing any weight before tomorrow morning? I would have to say - very slim!
Looking on the bright side, I suppose that these splurges came on days when the rest of my food consumption for those days was low so, as damage limitation, it's not too bad. In addition, I did manage to enjoy what I was eating and not carry on with the splurging afterwards. I am not beating myself up about it but I do think that after three and a half years of maintaining, I should have done better!
I hope that you are all doing better than me. Have a good weekend! Onwards and downwards!
