I was actually a lot more restrained than I could have been over the weekend. Triumphs included not having cake when everyone else had some, having a sad little bowl of branflakes when eggs and bacon were on offer from mum, and not eating when I had some wine with my sister. A pat on the back for me. I did, however, eat like a "normal" person, and the scales were showing a 2 pound gain this morning! I'm hoping it'll settle down during the week and reflect my stellar behaviour. I must try to get some long walks in this week too.
I feel like I've been stuck in the 16's forever. Up to 16 stone 11 lb and back down to 16 stone, repeat ad nauseam. I really want to get into the next bracket. I'm fed up of seeing 16 stone something, roll on the 15's! Hopefully I can break it (and stay there for once) by the end of August, but I do have a camping trip with the family coming up. More self restraint will be called for.
You can still have bacon and eggs! Just cut the fat off the bacon (I know, it's the best bit) and fry/scramble the egg with some spray oil and it's a fairly healthy, high-protein meal!
ReplyDeleteI love turkey bacon and scrambled egg whites! Add a bit of salsa and you won't miss the other stuff nearly as much. I'm feeling very stuck in my current weight decade too, I know how you feel!
ReplyDeleteYour body will reward you for your stellar behaviour - just not right away sometimes. It's thinking, "Hey, what is she doing now? Must conserve every little bit of energy." That's what makes it frustrating and makes people want to quit...you know, I doing everything (and suffering - lol) and I gain weight - WTF? Just hang in there, keep doing what you're doing and look for some non-scale reward. Please do not let this interfere with the wonderful progress you have made so far :-)
