My first gain

Well, I can't say I am surprised.

I had a gain of 0.5kg this week, dropping my total loss down to 21.4kg.

I know how it happened, and feel so much better since getting weigh in over and done with.

I had our 6th anniversary dinner Saturday night, we were planning on the local pub and I was going to have grilled fish with veggies. Well, they were fully booked, so we ended up at the local steak house.

I picked the smallest size steak on the menu (200g) with calamari (all the others had creamy/cheesy sauces). I pulled the batter off the calamari, and ate lots of salad with it, I also asked for no butter on the baked potato. For dessert I picked the waffle (Rather than the decadant sounding chocolate mud cake) and asked for no cream, I did have ice cream with it, but only ate about 1/3 of it, enough to go with the waffle. I ended up being over by 15 points that day.

I enjoyed myself though, and am proud of the fact I made healthier choices, where as 6 months ago I would have had a big steak, all the batter, butter on my potato and the mud cake, probably also full strength soft drink or wine.

I had planned to save 4 points each day after that, which didn't happen, I did save between 2-3 each day though.

So, I'm not too upset, of course no one likes to see the number go up, but looking at the overall picture, I did well.

The other thing that helped ease the weight gain blow is that I did my measurements, and am pleased to report I have lost 100.5cms!

So, there we go, my first gain over and done with, hopefully I won't see too many more of those!
