wine would be an oh so good accompaniment, but my green & white iced tea will have to suffice.

I thought I lost three pounds on Tuesday, but it seems like it was just a mild fluctuation of the scale for a day. :?

Still doing well 8 pounds is pretty darn good

After dinner last night I had to admit to myself that although I ate my salad without dressing, having sauteed shrimp and fettucine alfredo was probably not the best diet meal. (!) :?

I dont know....

I think once a week, twice a week, you should eat a decent meal like that.....

Then ya just maintain healthy eating for the rest of your meals....

One decent meal a week isnt gonna hurt you.....

Just my humble opinion.....

Well, it WAS delicious.

this was so fucking delicious, it was unbelievable.
also had lots of crushed red pepper in it....ooohhhhhhhhhh sooooooooooo good!

and yes, still on track, holding steady today, 6 pounds down. i'm happy. i really think if i can keep losing weight eating as i do, this is most definitely something sustainable for me. :thumbup: eventually would like to incorporate more exercise, tho nothing too crazy and then also be able to eat a bit more on the naughty side say once a week, and sure...a bottle of my beloved wine a week.


justam - outside of the alfredo sauce, sounds like a perfectly good and healthy meal! and even the alfredo isn't going to kill ya. it's all portion control and frequency. i had 2 slices of margherita pizza for lunch today - planned - and will do so for the next 10 weeks on fridays. i think planned indulgences are wise. if you find it hinders your progress, then you make adjustments accordingly. if it merely slows the pace, no biggie....b/c that's reality, right? no one is going to eat in a truly restrictive fashion for life, so it's all about sustainable change to accompany a sustainable, smaller self.

spicy tilapia with yellow squash and snowpeas tonite...should be delish!
no wine tho. :(
eh well, gotta give it a go!

Well I think I've fallen completely off the wagon this weekend. I have eaten what I felt like, when I felt like it. I went out for lunch today and yesterday, had a bag of Cadburys mini-eggs whilst watching a film last night. Then had a Cadburys cream egg when I got back this afternoon - I know all the chocolate probably only adds up to about 600 calories, but I still shouldn't have really had it.

Exercise wise done ok. Walked about 5 miles today, which I really enjoyed.

I want to be slimmer but I really would just like to go sleep and wake up in the morning a stone lighter. I think I'm going through a 'why should I' phase. I do have a tendancy to do the opposite of what I'm told to do (a stupid habit really). Mmmm, will have to ponder this some more. :(
