I was at the seaside this weekend with the kids, eating all things seasidey - chips, ice creams, sugar donuts, more chips. I honestly expected to have gained something ... a lot of something ... despite my attempts to eat small portions all the time and avoid fried food where possible.
So imagine my surprise this morning when I weigh myself to find I've LOST 2lbs! WOOHOO!
How you ask? Well, along with eating more/heavier foods, I was also walking around far more. Even with using taxis for all the longer (to me, sometimes the ride only cost £3) journeys, and taking breaks every chance (every bench) I could, I was still on my feet far more than normal, and for four consecutive days at that. I am paying for it now, I've been home 2 days and can barely move, and day four of the holiday was tough(er). And I've had to take every pain med I could from day one up to now to keep it going. But ... wow, I did it.
Imagine what that activity would have meant in terms of weight loss if I'd been eating my usual diet. Such a shame it's not something I can sustain, but it does give me hope for the occasional good week.
(The boring bit)
Percentage of starting weight lost this week - 0.8%
Total of starting weight now lost - 7.3% (or 18.5lbs)
And of target weight loss - 24.2%
New weight is 106.6kg ... which is 16st 11, or 235lbs
