Is it me, or are these weigh ins (weighs in? weighs ins?) coming round alarmingly quickly? I almost forgot to get my shorts on and hop on the mortal enemy that are my scales. Bad news I'm afraid; I am now tuning in at 17 stone 10 pounds, which represents a 2 pound gain, damn damn damnedy damn!
I always said that I would despair should I ever reach the stage when I have put weight on - or not lost it - and have no idea what I have done wrong; and this.................isn't one of those times!
I think there has been a bit of a carryover from the previous weeks indulgences (see Weigh in 13). I also went to the theatre last Thursday with my big sister and the obligatory (okay, okay; maybe NOT obligatory..........but certainly very enjoyatory) pre-theatre meal was Calzone. For those of you that don't know what Calzone is....it's the nutritional equivalent of getting a family sized Domino's pizza, and then smearing a pound of dripping over it. It was a great meal, a great show, and all in all a great night. Made all the more special by the fact that big sis paid for it all as a birthday present (week Friday). However, it can't be called healthy eating. I couldn't resist a few beers that night, and downed a couple of bottles of cider this week aswell.
In addition to this, I have cancelled my badminton training on a Tuesday night. With playing a match per week - as well as some social playing for two hours on a Wednesday, and club night on Friday - you CAN have too much of a good thing. Trouble with that is I usually have my hour training, and pop myself straight onto the scales the minute I get home. I'm not going to go into all the particulars of it, but the absence of that intensive exercise is sure to alter the results.
The positive thing is, that I am not panicking. True, I am impatient to get where I am going, but minor setbacks like this are not yet affecting me. I feel in control, and I already feel the benefits of the weight I have lost; that is motivation enough to persevere. As always, it is one day at a time, one meal at a time......and hopefully not one beer at a time!

Glad to read about the wonderful night you had with your sister. Very nice birthday present :)
Good that you're not panicking. You might need to find some healthy things you can eat as a treat? Something you can snack on that will not be too bad for you. And Ali is right, you're building up muscles, never a bad thing, but they are quite heavy.

Keep going A-B, you are doing great, and the fact that you don't panic over a little weight gain is v. positive.
But ... please don't keep me dangling til Thurs morning too often ... reading your cheery and positive news on a Wed morning marks the half-way point of the week for me and means the weekend is on it's way!
Big hugs,

Holy crap!! Logged in to find 3 comments!!! Yowser!
Thanks Isabel, I think you are right about the snacky things; any ideas?? You're right (again!), tickets to a show is a great present, and right up my street. Can't get over how good Jason Donovan was as Captain Von Trapp! Think I might be breaking out the DVD this weekend.
Ali, I had no idea you think of my posts in such a light! Oh the weight of responsibility to alleviate your dangliness...! Between you and me (voice to a whisper) I have discovered a new blogging secret; I can write posts and postdate them to publish on certain days and times. Which means if I am in a particularly writey mood, I can do more than one (it also means I can do a cheeky one at work, and set it to send in the evening!!)!
