Extra Easy Mid-Journey to End-Journey

[Windy]

Hi everyone,

I'm mid-way through my trip down Slimming Lane. I started on 7 August 2018 and to date, have lost 4stone 9.5lbs. I always stay to group -Saturday mornings and I always do the EE plan. I've 3 stone 4.5lbs to lose. My weight loss is slow but fairly consistent with just 5 small gains throughout the entire time. Motivation is definitely waning so I thought I'd start this diary to keep me going.
I've dropped almost 4 UK dress sizes and just bought a bicycle.
So, my meals are pretty similar day to day. I work 9-6 in an office and need a wheelbarrow for the amount of food I pack for breakfast, lunch and snacks.
My weekends are awful/great though. Once I leave my group, I act like I'm on day release from prison and get as much in as I can, usually dragging on till Sunday evening. Monday to Friday I have to chase my tail but I always 'get away with it'.
I'm in Ireland, by the way.

Brekkie was Brennans Be Good Bread x 2, Laughing Cow Extra Light x2, spinach, ham, cucumber, coffee
Snack was 5 seafood sticks, 2 boiled eggs.
Lunch was Butternut Squash, onion and Piri Piri sauce
Snack was mini Haribo Starmix, Lidl fat free yoghurt and raspberries
Dinner will be a chicken stirfry
Snack will be a meringue nest

Today is the day before weigh-in. I had some speed fruit for brekkie and then some left-over chicken stir-fry for lunch. I'm on my way to town now for the afternoon to meet friends for coffee so I haven't had any healthy As yet. I might pick up some sushi in Marks too to tide me over till dinner time.

I weighed on Saturday morning. I was down 1lb.
I went out Saturday night, got very drunk on Vodka and Diet Coke. Spent the day in bed yesterday other than to get up to eat an enormous pizza and mountains of chocolate. Oh well.

Back on it today but I think we are going for a work lunch.

Sunday.
Yesterday was weigh-in. I lost 2.5lbs. whoop!!
Then, I did the dog on it for the rest of the day. Got up this morning and went to Lidl to stock up. Roasted/cremated some veggies and chicken.

Then ate a full box of Choco Thins. D'oh.
EDIT: Two full boxes and 24 Kinder bars (like those small sticks you give to kids)

So, needless to say, I have a lot of fighting to do this week to counteract the weekend. I need 1lb to get my 5 stone award but I would love 1.5lb to get to the next stone bracket. However, I think I'll now be lucky if I maintain. I'll give it a shot anyway.

Tuesday morning,

Yesterday was a struggle to be honest but in hindsight, I didnt do too bad. I had a Twirl and one celebration.

Thursday. Yesterday was ok, not amazing but ok.

Today, I had my usual sandwich for brekkie, salmon and veg for lunch, an apple, some seafood sticks and a Toffee Meringue from Tesco. Dinner will be speedy bolognaise and I have my walking club tonight.

No work tomorrow but have to go to hairdressers, hospital and town. It no longer worries me, I can buy lots of food in M&S, Tesco, delis etc

Monday morning.

I had a busy weekend. I got my 5 stone certificate on Saturday morning which was awesome. I treated myself to a full set of gel nails. I had afternoon tea with my friends, went shopping, rode my bicycle.
Sunday was on plan following Saturday's usual binge. I'm on plan today aswell. I'd love 2lbs off this week but whatever happens...
