Food porn...


Yesterday was a really great day.

I weighed in at a cool 67.0kg and wore my new size 14 Monsoon trousers to work. I just felt great, like I was finally on my way. Then G and I went to Gaucho Grill for our special 1-year-since-we-got-engaged anniversary dinner. If you have not eaten there, RUN don’t walk to your nearest branch. Oh. My. God. The food was so good. I tried to make diet friendly choices but it just wasn’t happening. As part of the bread basket (school-girl error I know) there were these cheese soufflĂ© thingees. I can’t describe them but they were HEAVEN. I managed to stop at only three quarters of one but it was a close run thing. WOW. G and I shared 3 empiladas for starters (yes, pastry encased deep fried deliciousness) and then I had a 225g fillet steak for my mains. It was the smallest one on the menu and I didn’t quite manage to finish it (that would be all the chunky cut chips filling me up). To wash it all down, I’m ashamed to say we went on something of a bender. I had a glass of sparkling wine to start, shared a bottle of 14% malbec, then had a port and another glass of red wine.

So today was NOT a great day.

I weighed in at 67.6kg but am not panicking about it because I had a huge dinner and we ate late. Although today is my official weigh in day, I am going to see what the scale says tomorrow before I post on the online WW site. I don’t want to screw up my pretty little graph especially with a false gain. I know some might count this as ‘cheating’ but its my weight loss and I’m rolling with it.

I have eaten well today but have been pretty hungry all day. I realised last night that I couldn’t remember the last time I actually felt so stuffed full. It was not pleasant but clearly it has stretched my stomach and now it wants MORE MORE MORE. I am sitting at 10 points today with 4 to go (I have no idea how many points I consumed yesterday so am putting all my previously saved points of which there were 12 towards last night’s dinner, meaning I had 22.5 to spend on dinner – there is no way that meal was only 22.5 but I’m hoping to save as many points as possible this weekend which I won’t eat) and dinner is quorn sausages and baby potatoes.

So today is ONE YEAR EXACTLY to go!!! YAY! I am so excited. And I think I found my dress today. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it all day. It’s a Stephanie Allin design called ‘Ellie’. It’s just beautiful – I’ll try and post a picture. Can’t wait to try it on!
