Having sprained my ankle and therefore
been very very lazy, been forced to rest and recuperate, I was not expecting a loss this week. Combined with my sneaky peek, and my pizza munching I was not expecting much, perhaps even a gain. I was presently surprised when I stepped on thescales and found I had lost a full 0.5lb. I know its not much, and I know I could have done better, but I felt that this was a fair representation of my week. No exercise, a little indulgence and a lot of boredom. I treated myself on the way home to sausage and chips, as by this time it was 8 O'Clock, I was starving hungry, tired and felt I deserved it.

What my breakfast used to be like - 4 Points HaHaHa |
Today I am back on it. I had cereal for breakfast, and feeling that portions are an issue I decided to weigh it. Wow! 30g of cereal is not a lot. I have been cheerfully pouring a bowlful, writing
30g of cereal down, and feeling smug that my breakfast was
only 4points. Does anone else do this? I think I am going to try weighing lots of things this week to see how much I am under- or over- pointing. I was surprised by grated cheese yesterday. A portion is 40g in the WW bible of food portioning, and in slices this does not look like much. But I grated it onto the scales and, when grated, it starts to look like a lot. So much I decided to only have half the amount. That is a trick I will try again!
Fridays are good days in my world. This morning (in about 10 minutes, once I have posted this) I am going to Zumba. My ankle is feeling much better and I have strapped it up. I may have to modify the moves a bit if it does hurt, but I think I will be OK.

I wish my Zumba Class was like this one! |
Then this afternoon I am waiting in for a man to come round! (No - not what you think) We had a load of work done on our house last year, and two of the new doors need work doing. He will be here in 'the afternoon.' So I am waiting in. And this evening is Beavers. And today we are out walking. I will have done a good amout of execise today!
Having only lost a small amount this week I have become hugely aware of how big a factor 'move more' is in the weight loss equation:
Eat Less + Move More = Smaller Bum
Move More is huge part of this equation. So this week as well as filling in my trusty small green tracker thing, I am going to start tracking my exercise. I am going to try and move more every day, even if it is just for 10 minutes. And I will write it all down, and see what happens on the scales next week.
Have a great week everyone.
