Wednesday Weigh-In Vol.6. Or: Have your cake, don’t keep it!

My sister has been over to visit for a few days. Not the time for calorie counting; rather for barbeques with buttered corn on the cob, juicy sirloin steaks and fresh baguette. Also, being an older sibling and thus a role model, I didn’t want to obsess about food and had the best excuse not to diet.

When my sister visited me last time, she received my undivided attention, and I did my best to impress her big-sister-style. A trip to Laduree at Harrods, strolling around Brick Lane, a visit to Notting Hill and of course, pick-up and drop-off from and to the airport. In stark contrast, this visit started with a train ride on the Stansted express and a million little favours I asked her. She took it without complaining and passed on the title ‘youngest member of the family’ without a fuss.

I am proud of you, little sister!

Now for the weigh-in:

Starting weight: 136 pounds

Goal weight: 125 pounds

Last week: 131 pounds

This week: 131 pounds

Pounds lost: 0

How many pounds left to lose: 6

    I totally “forgot” about my diet too… Yesterday was a holiday and it involved spending time with the fam, eating pizza and having fun… Sorry diet! Not this week!

  • There’s plenty more time for dieting. At least you didn’t gain any!
    There’s an award waiting for you over at mine, anyway, for having such a great blog :o )

    I think when you are entertaining this counts as a victorious week!

  • cartside says:

    Definitely well done, and to be fair, the odd week of a diet break is good for keeping it up!
    At least that’s what I’m telling myself ;)

  • Hello, I like your blog, it reminds of my baby years (not that long ago but if feels like a lifetime).

  • Lady Mama says:

    You’re doing so well! 6 pounds to go – you can totally do it. And I think it’s good to have a little break every so often too.

  • Hello! stumbled across your blog and see you are on a mission to lose your baby weight – we are too! But not doing very well at all! You put us to shame! Lovely blog.
