A gain, and a sulk!



After the giddiness of being half of the Couple Of The Year last week, I was brought down to earth with a bump as I gained 3.5lbs at weigh in.  I'm very much not a happy bunny this week.



What I thought was a pretty good week, turned out to not be the case.  We had our lovely in-laws down to visit for most of the week, and it is always nice to see them, but it has thrown off my food patterns this week.  I have found myself picking up a meal deal sandwich a few times, and I have definitely eaten too many carbs this week.  I'm pretty annoyed with myself.



You know when you are pretty sure you have had a good week, but then it turns out that although you didn't join in with the Chinese takeaway, or even eat anything really bad, you still ate too much? Yep, that was me this week. What a knob!



So I pouted a bit, had a bit of a sulk, made one of my favourite pre-Slimming World dinners and pretty much got over it, in theory.  I had my signature sandwich, which is my version of egg mayonnaise, but I use ketchup instead of mayo, then overfill a sandwich made of thick white bread. Ruddy delicious. Then I ate a Galaxy Caramel and a chocolate bun. Ooops.



So now I'm back on it, back on plan, and fully focused on kicking the arse out of this...

Reboot - Slimming World Fail!

Image
I'm back, sorry. Life got a bit hectic during the exams, and holidays and stuff.   I posted this on my instagram earlier this week. ' Time for a  #reboot . I've got complacent it is time to  #refocus . I should be miles further down the road on my  #slimmingworldjourney  than I am. I should have smashed my  #holidaygain  but I haven't. Not starting again because that would negate all the effort I've put in so far. But I'm going to sit down, reread my book,  #focus  on  #foodoptimising  and get my arse in gear.' I've hit a plateau.  I lost over 8 stone before my holiday.  I'll talk about that later on, but since we got back I have massively not been able to focus.  I found myself doing what a lot of people seem to do, start 'guesstimating'portion sizes and syn values. I've always worked on the basis that because I get more syns, I'm male and fat, I will always be under, but when I think about it properly, I'm probably not,

Back in the Slimming World game...

Image
Finally! After a very up and down time since we came back from holidays, I finally got back in my groove, got my head back in the game and managed three weeks in a row of losses! This string of wins took me back to where I was when we went on holiday in July. As you can see from my graph above, I finally hit my lowest weight since joining Slimming World just over a year ago.  I was particularly chuffed to finally get back under 20 stone, back under where I had been before the holiday but also to crack on.  Been a long time since I was particularly happy with my journey.  But, I'm back! We went to a christening recently, and posed for this selfie above, and it made me think back to the bottom half of that photo. Our second date, early February 2006, we went to see a movie and then wandered to a little pub where we hung out for hours.  I like this comparison, mostly because we both look happy in both pictures, but also because I think, although we both look a bit olde

Starting out...

Image
So, I've been fat for years.  Yup, I said it. I have always thought of myself as being fat, way back to being maybe 13 or 14, when the reality is I was a slightly chubby teenager but certainly nothing to be concerned about.  I spent my teenage years into my mid twenties working at McDonald's which I'm pretty sure didn't help my weight, although mostly I am lazy and drink too much fizzy pop, Coke in particular. My wife and I are trying to have kids and although tests have shown no problems, losing weight won't hurt the process. I'm tired all the time, and I'm a bit of sick of having sore legs after particuarly busy days at work. As you may know, I don't drink, at all, and I'm always a bit glib when I talk about why, giving silly answers but the truth is, I have always had what you could call an addictive personality.  Whether it be collecting records, or not missing a single episode of wrestling since I was 19, I have my issues. What I also ha
