August Is Conspiring Against WW & Me

But I'm going to try really hard to get into September a few pounds lighter.

After hovering at the same weight for 2 weeks now I am really hoping that WI this Saturday will see me at least 1lb lighter. A sneaky peek this morning is showing a 0.5lb loss - not exactly stirring stuff but I'll take it.

I have been really inconsistent with my exercise regime these last couple of weeks and weightloss has paid the price. I did a huge bike ride Saturday before last and then did nothing worth mentioning for about the next week. Have got back into it now and have been out clocking up the miles on the old WW pedometer. It's amazing how much harder it expects you to work as you get lighter. I have a particular route that used to earn me 3.5 points that now only gives me 2 points.

I should also admit that I have been really struggling with my 18 points daily allowance - I've been feeling a bit deprived for the first time in a long long time. I've kicked my backside into gear over that one though by shaking up my menu choices. I need/want a wee something nice of an evening so I am just making sure I have the points to cover it by lowering points elsewhere. Gone are the days when I could have a Curly Wurly willy nilly cos I had plenty points to spare. I am 4 points a day lower now than when I started and I now have to view the choccy fix as a treat rather than a right!

Anyways, as I said August is busy busy. I have a free-ish weekend this weekend and then, in order : A Christening, Italian Car Day, A Wedding Reception, Girlie Night in Millport. ( I laugh as I type Millport. Any Scottish person reading this would snigger and think "what the bleep is there to do on Millport? For those not in the know its a tiny Scottish Island and one of my best and oldest friends lives there now. We will be entertaining ourselves in the usual fashion - gossip, food & alcohol and there will be 5 of us - so thats a lot of gossip!!)

With the exception of the Italian Car Day, all events include food and alcohol. I don't want to "just" limit the damage - I want to lose weight. I am totally up for that - are you listening WW Gods???

Be good or be careful - TTFN
