Weigh in (22)

(SORRY CHAPS AND CHAPPESSES): thought this was published, was writted on 16th November)
Got to say, I'm pretty happy with the result. If you have a peruse of my previous post, you will understand that my expectations of a good outcome were not particularly rosie, and distinctly weedy. Initially I got on the scales to find out I had lost EXACTLY nothing (16 stone 13.8 pounds), then in a fit of utter madness, I re-weighed (big mistake.....BIG.....HUGE.....what was I thinking??!!) and found out than in the space of 30 seconds I had put on a mighty 0.6 pounds!! So the bad news is that I am now unofficially back over 17 stone again (by 0.4 pounds), however the official line is that I am unchanged at 17 dead (hey, I was honest enough to stick to the rules when they worked against me.......!).
I have already mentioned some of the reasons why I haven't lost any weight; but another thing I am noticing is that it is getting more difficult to lose now. Previously I have been able to get away with the odd bit of naughtiness, but now it looks like I am going to have to tighten my belt a bit more (metaphorically) if I am going to be able to tighten my belt a bit more (literally!).
Hopefully the exercise I have done over the last couple of days will contribute to next weeks weigh in, I will be at badminton club night on Friday, and I am also turning trainer as I re-introduce my sister to the wonders of badminton tonight (should be fun!); chuck in another couple of Wii Fit sessions (the obstacle course is SO cool!) and I think I have the exercise portion of the week pretty much covered.
Oh, AND this weekend sees the annual 'putting up of the Christmas lights round the living room at my Mums' day; followed by the annual 'hanging Christmas balls in the corner of said living room' evening. That's also good to work up a bit of a sweat. The not so enjoyable annual 'these stuffing things won't light and I have to test every stuffing bulb to find the duff one, and no matter where I start, it will be the last one' usually comes along at the same time!
The thing is, a Christmas decorating weekend like the one coming up, is subtly hinting at me that the time of great indulgence is coming. Lovely though the holidays are, it is very capable of turning a receding waistline into an expanding one. I am kinda resigned to putting on some weight over Christmas (need to have a think of how I am going to tackle that one), but with over a month to go, I still have the chance to shed some good pounds before the festivities kick off. So it's knuckling down time; let's show this flab what I am made of (NOT flab!).
