Tuesday - Saturday.

Despite promises to myself to be on track all week, I finished a couple of hundred calories over the limit on two days. After the 900 calorie fry up for lunch on Monday, I did not partake of the gorgeous looking Jaffa Cake cake in the cafe at the walled garden. TMM had a piece and it looked lovely, but I was determined to use my remaining calories for good. The groceries had been delivered, so there was plenty of real food in the house. I boiled two large turkey drumsticks, made the stock in to soup, and ate pretty much all the meat from one leg. (I love the dark meat. Could literally eat it all day.) Although everything I ate after the fry was healthy, it was still over my daily allowance.  So  I did better the rest of the week, but always felt like I was on the back foot, as of catching up wasn't really possible. I'm hopeful that I've done okay. I have to get into the thirteens on Sunday.

However, I defo won't lose a stone this month. I'd need to lose six pounds this week for that to happen. I'm nowhere near that sort of loss this week. It's been a while since I had a miracle week like that.

Doing a systematic purge of wardrobe.  Any trousers that I no longer have to unbutton to take off no longer make the cut. Tops that are too baggy are out too. I no longer want to wear things that are unflattering so out they go. I bought a pair of size 18 trousers in ASDA, just plain black canvas jeans. They look good. And a size 20 top. They look great together with my green DMs. I'm wearing the ensemble now and I feel great. It's making me walk with my head held high and I have a smile on my face.
