Today I started well - we had good intentions, we went to a nice place for lunch - a special treat for us - and I chose meat, salad etc. We shared everything so the meal was:
Cured pork shoulder, served with bread, houmous with pitta, (M's choices),
A large salad with fetta cheese (M's choice), patatas bravas (M's choice)
Grilled lamb - my choice.
My idea was that I would drink a nice glass of wine - slowly - nibble a spoon of houmous with a tiny bit of bread, eat a slice of the pork shoulder - then eat grilled lamb and salad.
Except, I also ate more of the houmous, and some of the patatas bravas and some olives. It could have been worse, but I realised at the end of it that I didn't have much capacity for supper.
We had steak for supper - and special low fat oven chips which I've invented... although I only had 2 of them. I had steak, mushrooms, mangetouts and tomatoes. Unfortunately we were bought a bottle of wine by Rafa, so my intention not to drink was lost - and after two glasses (arrgghhh) of very nice Chilean Pinot Noir - I thought "what the hell!" and had some of the chocolate cheese cake and strawberry compote (pure sugar!)
So, I feel I've had all my extra points in one and now have nothing to save for the weekend. Oh dear!
The point is, if this happens once a week as it has so far (week 1 trip to France, week 2 boozeathon, week 3 Pa's birthday, and this week we still have tomorrow night with Anna to look forward to...) That said, I think if I can keep well down on the regular days, perhaps I will continue to lose weight - maybe not as fast as I would like.
WW claim you should lose 2lbs a week - well, hmmm. That would take me a year and 11 weeks to get down to 11st (if I wanted to). But if I keep having these splurges - my rate will be considerably lower... but it's too early to say how bad it could be.
