End of week 13

Well, I am absolutely thrilled to have a loss this week. Only 300g (10.6 ounces) again, but still a loss. I really didn't think it was going to happen after Friday night. Friday night we went out. First we went to a friends for a birthday and I had a piece of birthday cake. Then we went to our neighbours for a drink. We had a great time but oh boy, the food was endless. There was only 4 of us and the neighbour kept bringing out an endless supply of the most scrumptious foods. Starting with bowls of cashews and bowls of cheese cubes and a dipping sauce. Then these little cheese nibblies that were so yummy. She said they were salmon and cheese, and they were shaped into little ovals and garnished on top. Then there were a huge pile of hot mini vol au vents which she kept saying to eat up before they are cold. She also brought out 2 whole quiches. The first was a salmon quiche but I dont know what the second one was, I was just way to full to fit anymore in.......lol. And she finished it off with a large tray of chocolate biscuits. I tell you, I waddled home.......lol.

Saturday morning, I tentatively stepped onto the scales. OH NO! A half kilo gain :( All day I stuck rigidly to my diet. I had only my 3 meals for the day, absolutely no snacks, and for dinner, I had a bowl of soup with toast.

Sunday morning, I tentatively stepped onto the scales. OH NO! Still 400g over my last weigh in :( Again, I stuck rigidly to my diet. Only the 3 meals for the day, absolutely no snacks, and dinner was a modifast milkshake, 2 sandwiches, and a small frozen yoghurt dessert. Plus, it was finally a sunny and beautiful day (it has been raining everyday for weeks and I had not been getting my walks in for weeks). So, today I finally got in a short 2km walk. Only 25mins but finally a walk.

Monday morning, weigh in day!!!!! I held my breath and stepped onto the scales. A loss of 300g!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't believe it and was totally over the moon :) It just goes to show, one bad diet day need not be the end of the world. If you fall off the wagon so to speak, and have a really bad diet day, dont lose hope and give up. Next day just continue as if it never happened and you might be pleasantly suprised :) Stick with it, and at the end of the week, you may not necessarily gain after one bad day.
