Sunshine

The weather this week has been amazing. Summer finally landed in England. And boy did it land. Its as hot as places like Spain and Greece right now.

As a larger lady, the heat can be not so fun to navigate.

Lets be honest. We sweat. We all sweat. I was so hot and bothered coming home from town yesterday that it felt great to see a skinny person get off at his stop and be sweating out of his t-shirt.

But on the plus side, hot weather means I drink much more water and I don't seem to be as hungry.

This week was a cracking week at Fat club. I lost 3.5lb and I got slimmer of the week. It was a total shock actually. I had 3 meals out so was hoping to come in with at least half or a pound. But It seems making the right choices really helped.

Pizza hut last week, I have one of the under 500 cal pizza's and lots of good salad - cherry tomatoes, cucumber, peppers etc. Sunday - mum and I had a day in Meadow hell. We went to harvester. I had a grilled chicken breast, salad and a jacket potato. Then Tues we were out for my friend Helen's birthday so I chose steak, with peas and swapped the chips for new potatoes. I had no dessert.

I was satisfied and it paid off.

This weekend is going well. Yesterday I made magic pancakes with banana and strawberries. Delicious. I haven't had it for a couple of weeks so really enjoyed them. Lunch was a subway turkey salad bowl with light mayo. Delicious. And tea last night I had Yvonne and Debs round so made them SW KFC chicken and SW Chips. Which they loved! And I have 2 more pieces left to enjoy - 1 will be lunch today with salad and one for lunch at work tomorow with yes ... you have guessed it salad.

In a bid to mix things up a bit on the salad front I am going to make some couscous up, throw some raisens and stuff in. But different.

So its a total weight loss of 23 and half pounds since May. Today I managed to fix back in a pair of denuim shorts which 3 months ago I could not even get up my legs. Loving it.

Its 5 weeks until my Rhine Valley, Germany holiday. So I would love to see another 10lb off. Thats the plan - 2lb a week. If I'm lucky it will be more. If not I am completely on track!
