Weigh-in - Week 28

Well I'm very pleased to report that I have almost got rid of the 3lbs I put on over Christmas and the New Year. At this morning's weigh-in I have registered a loss of 2.6lbs, putting me back down to 18st 3.0lbs, which is just 0.4lbs above my pre-Christmas best. I now want to reach my, evasive, target of 17st 13.9lbs in the next two weeks.

This week has been a strange one as I am still suffering from the man-flu that I told you about in my previous blog, except that it isn't man-flu, it's a chest infection! It's been pretty unpleasant, althought the anti-biotics, that the Doctor prescribed, are doing their job and the end is in sight. I still haven't felt up to getting back on to the crosstrainer, so I haven't done any exercise at all this year! I also haven't had any alcohol since New Year's Day as alcohol and anti-biotics don't mix! I think this is the longest I've gone without a beer or a glass of wine for as long as I can remember!

Points-wise I've managed to get back in to tracking properly and can say that I've manage to end the week with 44 weekly points left! That's really due to not having anyt beer or wine, although I have used up some of my daily and weekly points to treat myself to some of the Toblerone chocolates that I told you about (I've nearly finished one bar!).

I've also managed to get through this week without any Sneaky Peeks! As any regular WeightWatchers member will know, Sneaky Peeks are the work of the Devil! I have found many times that what looks like being a great week on a Saturday Sneaky Peak, can, by Tuesday, end up being a poor or bad one. And this is using the same scales as I weigh-in on - it's even worse for people who get weighed at WW meetings as no two sets of scales with give the same results. I'm really going to try and avoid SP's from now on.

My plan for this week is to return to the crosstrainer by Thursday or Friday, enjoy the remainder of my Chrstmas Ale over the weekend, I've no idea how many pints are left but, with a bit of luck, I'll finish the barrel on Friday night and be able to visit the wonderful Rebellion Brewery on Saturday to get a replacement. I also plan to try out a new Slow-Cooker Recipe to add to my amoury of low point meals as I'm getting a little bored with the Chorizo & Sausage Gumbo and Chorizo & Bean Chilli that I have quite regularly.

Anyway - onwards and downwards, good luck with your weight-loss and I hope everyone has been as successful in removing the Christmas gains as I have.
