Ok, something spooky is happening. I’ve lost 0.8lbs for the last three weeks in a row. We-ird. But good we-ird. A phrase has been going around my head this week: ‘little by little a little becomes a lottle’ and since New Year I’ve lost 4.6lbs, which is pretty good. A couple more months like that and I’ll be there.
This week I had lunch out four days in a row, which was challenging. I haven’t eaten as clean as I would like and the junk food has been sneaking in. Part of it is that clean and lean is expensive and we’re nearing the end of January – the endless organic meat and fresh vegetables are far dearer than a packet of crisps or a bowl of cereal for tea. It’s always amazing to me how cheaply you can eat if you are prepared to eat crap.
One new clean dish I tried this week was chorizo, chick pea and red pepper stew; the recipe is in this month’s Red magazine. (Sadly the crusty bread and glass of Shiraz I had it with were not as clean.) Just the smell of it transported me to a Catalonian tapas bar. It was delish and there was enough for future husband to take a portion to work the next day.
In terms of exercise, I’ve been to the gym twice and done Jillian Michaels once. Not bad but not great.
I’ve got be super-duper good this week because on Saturday I’ll get to see my dress for the first time. The dress I tried on when I chose it was a different size and so the shop sent away my measurements to America for it to be made. I can’t lie, I’m a little nervous. I hope I still like it as much as I did when I chose it and that it fits. So I’m going to be practically perfect between now and then (promise).
