Week 177

0.6lb gain

I'll live with that.

Given my son's excessive baking of exceedingly tasty, addictive foodstuffs (see main blog) this past week, I've been remarkably restrained.

It could have been so much worse

Week 176

2.6lb loss!

Woohoo!

I've been on track all week and it's paid off, but this is even better than I could have hoped for!

It's not rocket science - make the healthy choices and the weight naturally adjusts itself.

The trick is in overcoming the obstacles to making the healthy choices.

Week 175

1.4lbs gain.

I am not surprised. What with Father's Day last Sunday, Rogan's birthday on Monday, left over cake on Tuesday, and I think a scone or two may well have worked its way into the mix this week as well, I'm now back over the 13 stone mark.

My only hope is it's just over a month until Maggie's birthday and I don't think there are any other celebrations meantime

Week 174

No Change.

At least it stablised. However, I don't think Father's Day stuff has metabolised yet and it's my son's birthday today, so the chances of a loss next week are virtually nil.

The less said about that, the better.

Week 172

0.6lb gain

I'm not too surprised - there were a few extra treats last week, especially with the conclusion of the Spring Fling Open Studio event Maggie was a part of. But I don't feel any cause for concern.

Week 171

0.8lb loss!

I'm pleased, and relieved. There's no doubt I've had a couple of extra cookies this week, however, I have been incredibly restrained, given the temptations under my nose.

Saturday was the Food Town Day with various stalls flogging their wares on a closed off high street and I did succumb to the Hog Roast roll with all the trimmings, as I do every year. However, my son put up a stall to sell cakes, cookies and scones he'd baked.

And he has his mother's touch when it comes to baking.

They looked good, smelled fantastic and just made the mouth water.

Baking smells have been wafting through the house for days and plates and bowls of cake mix, cookie dough mix, chocolate icing, melted chocolate etc have been strewn around the kitchen just waiting for a finger to be dipped.

Fortunately he sold out by lunchtime. I know I wouldn't have been able to resist eating any leftovers.

Still, my restraint appears to have paid off with nearly a 1lb loss since last week.

However, there will be cake tonight as we celebrate the end of the Spring Fling Weekend where Maggie has been displaying her artwork in the Open Studio event.

Week 170

2lb loss!

Yay! I knew last week must have been a blip. Another good week, apart from Saturday evening, and even that was less out of control that it could have been.

So with great relief I am now back under 13 stone again.

Week 169

0.6lb gain

Now I'm not entirely sure why I've put on over half a pound when I've had another near faultless week. I can only assume it's a blip of some kind, so I'm not going to worry myself over it.

More important is that I'm continuing to make the healthy choices, and there's no doubt it gets easier to resist the cravings the longer I go without giving into them.

1.4lb loss!

Another near faultless week, and another loss. I'm on a roll!

Hmmm... trying not to think of bacon roll, sausage roll, swiss roll, chocolate roll...
