Steady Weight Loss

Steady Weight Loss

Oct 10

Since my post last week things have been going well. Although it took until Wednesday to overcome the effects of the weekend things have been good with Thursday showing a loss of 2lb and another 1lb on Friday.  Then of course it all goes wrong again, it was a big weekend socially although I did my best to get through it with minimal damage.

It all kicked off with the Rugby World Cup, an early start with breakfast in the local pub to watch the game.  Of course i was good, just a couple of poached eggs on one slice of toast with 2 rashers of fat removed bacon and another few gallons of tea.  There were visitors coming in the fternoon for an overnight stay and Mrs Hippi had prepared a buffet type dinner for us all with lots of lovely stuff on it and a lot of it healthy.  What was not healthy was the Scotch Eggs of which  2 full ones (4 half’s) were consumed with gusto, the 6 slices of granary French stick with real butter that seemed to slip down wonderfully, who can resist granary French stick?, not me it seems, and the three full slices of corned beef  that got devoured and that was on top of all the nice bits of salmon, chicken and salad that was consumed.

Then the evening consisted on probably around 8 pints of lager and around 6 Rum & Coke (diet coke of course) and i have a memory of eating a fresh cream doughnut around 4am!

Breakfast on Sunday was 2 croissants with real butter (oops) and a beautiful Sunday roast joint of pork for dinner, none of which was too devastating until the puddings came out, we only ever have dessert when we have visitors!  There was a choice of 3 one of which was bakewell tart and custard – oh oh it was irresistable and i proceeded to demolish a serving of that, but it was only a normal serving and just one at that!

Luckily the scales today (Monday) say I have not gained any weight but those of you with a memory will recognise this pattern after a weekend, scales say maintain on the Monday, you stay good on the Monday only to find that it bites you on the Tuesday with a considerable gain you were not expecting!  I don’t know why it is and hopefully it can be avoided this week.  does this happen to you, recognise any of these weekend patterns, did you manage to control your weekends better, why not let me know, please comment below if you have anything to add.
