a gain of 4.5 lbs!
But...
I'm ok with that as i had a ball, and believe me, i have eaten and drunk alcohol for Britain so it's no surprise at all.
As the saying goes, when i am good (on plan) i am angelic, when i am bad, I'm bloomin good at that too!
It sort of all went downhill after the works Xmas party, the idea was to have a good week on plan before this weekend gone when i had a gig planned,typically i never got back on the wagon at all.
This weekend we went to a long awaited gig of my favourite band in Derby, you know when the barman asks in the first pub 'Do you want to double up for an extra £1?' that it's all going to go horribly wrong, i went on to have at probably another 15-20Malibu's and of course after a few i didn't know or care whether i was having diet coke or full fat coke with it.
We rolled in about 3am, and considering after that many drinks i didn't even feel drunk but sadly, when i woke up Sunday morning i thought i was dying.....Lol
We then decide to do it all again Sunday night and follow them to Manchester and after feeling rough all day and swearing i wasn't drinking again that night, the first drink i order was a Malibu, well, i thought the hair of the dog might work!?
Another great night,sadly this time followed by a cheeseburger and chips on the way home, which i was so busy scoffing instead of navigating that i got us so horribly lost and we end up in the high peak district somewhere,so ridiculously far from civilisation it was unreal, although i am sure it's beautiful in daylight!
Suffice to say it took an extra hour to get home, ie 2am, which leads to yesterday, VERY tired, VERY hungover and absolutely no self control as regards to food or diet.
Anyway, as of this morning, i am back on plan,there are 9 full days until Xmas so i will plan/try to stay on track until then, wish me luck!
Well i put the last 3 xmas parties pics together and at cats request have put them on here, let's just hope by next year i am not larger than this years!
and considering how badly i fell off the wagon at the weekend, i am more than happy with that.
I have done a lot of walking since the weekend so i expect that's counteracted a bit and it has got me moving again, i had become more reliant on buses to get to town/work and i needed a kick to get me going again.
Works Christmas do this weekend so i will be as angelic as possible until then, but after all, it's a Christmas dinner, which as we know, needn't be high in points, now the alcohol, that's a different matter!
Off to walk into town now to keep busy :o)
I found this thread while i was looking on the Gold and Maintenance board the other day and i have to say, it could have been written by me.

I think it took a lot of guts for the person to post this as i think there are a few gold members that would like to pretend all is rosy when you get to goal, i for one can say, it most certainly is not, i don't like to sound negative or moan because being 100lb+ lighter is wonderful but it doesn't automatically come with guide book of how to stay there and no matter how focused you can be on your journey, making wise choices etc, it can be so bloomin easy to slip back into old habits.
sts,
As my leader says, i should be happy with that.
I am and I'm not, it would have been nice to drop a lb but at least it's not a gain, something i can't afford to do until i have had my Christmas party!
Bearing in mind i have done no exercise the past week and i did go over points (by about 5) the 2 days pre WI, i have decided it's time to move more, which brings me to the new ww dvd.
I bought the full version today and i tried it out this afternoon, early signs are that i am going to like it, maybe even for at least a week?!
So that's my pledge for this week, i am not going to be a lazy moo and actually going to start walking again.
We shall see.....
