Oooooo MW, very exciting about the Scales! How nice to know u could eat all those yummy scrummy things over the Fortnight AND lose 0.6lb! How was your Brunch? What do u have planned to do today? X
Glad that you are feeling a bit better now. Does sound like a nasty big you and OH caught. Not what you want at the beginning of term at all is it??
Interesting news on the scales front. I wouldn't worry too much about the scales go down at the moment. Just stick with it. I was a bit worried at the beginning because I put on a couple of lbs in the first week but then stayed the same for several weeks, might have even lost a tiny amount. I was worried it meant that the reset wasn't working and that maybe my metabolism wasn't messed up and therefore it wasn't the reason for my 2 year weight loss stall. I was quite disheartened but spoke to a few people on the other forum and it seems everybody has VERY different experiences of the scales while doing the reset. Being ill for most of the last work probably has your body on a bit of a spin too.
Hope you had a lovely brunch yesterday. It was lovely weather here - really sunny but autumnal. Would have been perfect for a (bracing) walk along the seafront. We are heading to Suffolk to visit family at the beginning of November and will probably go to the coast with my mum. Not sure IIwhether I will be brave enough for a paddle in November but probably. I miss the sea.
'Blimey' where have the last four days gone? We had a lovely day on Saturday, although I did end up buying a set of ear muffs and a new hat to keep warm!
I am very relaxed about the scales. I am convinced even after this short while that this was the right thing for me to do. I am still very hungry this week, and so far have been a bit over my TDEE every day, but am not going to stress about it, as the scales are hovering around the same one or two pounds every day.
So food for Saturday 28th September
Breakfast - cornflakes with milk and a little sugar
In the car snack - a twirl and some fruit pastilles
At the coast - 2 fried eggs, 2 bacon rashers and a portion of chips, 2 small cappuccinos
On the way home - a few more fruit pastilles
In the evening - 2 gluten free brown ciabatta rolls with roast beef and homemade horseradish sauce, a packet of cheese and onion crisps
Several glasses of water
Total cals 2588/2160 (+428 cals)
Sunday 29th September
Greek yogurt with mixed fruits, nuts and seeds, one Mrs Crimble's jam and coconut ring
Dinner - roast pork, (got this half price on Saturday at the Co-op), roast potatoes and parsnips, carrots, sprouts, home grown runner beans, gravy, homemade horseradish sauce, apple sauce. This was so good. Followed it with an elderflower and apricot rice pudding with a little cream and brown sugar. We were a bit disappointed with this - would rather just have had ordinary rice pudding.
Later - packet of salt and vinegar crisps, half a banana with greek yogurt and soft brown sugar, one glass of cider

At home after school - another jam and coconut ring with another cup of tea!
After food shopping at Tesco and Lidl - a visit to Wetherspoon's. I had the Chicken tikka masala, with extra poppadoms instead of naan bread which makes it gluten free, one toffee apple cider (I could drink that all night!) and a Tia Maria
Totals 2391/2160 (+231 cals)
Tuesday 1st October
Most of our teachers were on strike today, so it was a very disjointed day and coupled with a few other things going on at work meant I came home feeling quite grumpy. It was actually really refreshing not to also be thinking about not eating too much!
Breakfast - gluten free cereal with milk and sugar, earl grey with milk. Couldn't find the same gf cornflakes I had last week (would you believe it, every standard make of 'cornflakes' has wheat or barley in the ingredients!) These ones were more like a Special K.
Mid morning - jam and coconut macaroon and a coffee with cream
Lunch - brown gluten free ciabatta roll with tuna, salad cream, jalapenos and tomato, more cherry toms (loving the tomatoes out of the greenhouse at the moment!) packet of cheese and onion crisps, grapes, a clementine, five prunes
In meeting at school - 4 pieces of Jack Daniel's fudge. Not sure the original Jack Daniel made fudge, but very glad someone has thought of it since!
At home after school - gluten free jam tart and a coffee with cream
Dinner - the rest of Sunday's roast pork, with sprouts, carrots, roast potatoes and parsnips, home-grown runner beans, gravy, apple sauce, followed by a bowl of home grown raspberries and blackberries with greek yogurt and cream
Several glasses of water and just about to finish the day with a vanilla chai tea.
