I broke a cardinal requirement

Current weight : 14st 8lbs
Weight gain this week : 1lb
Total weight loss : 3lbs














Just 2 days of not following my Jo-Jo plan and look at the damage! I had a trip to Edinburgh and it all went poo. Coffee & cake on the train, sandwich for lunch, 2 course hotel dinner, hotel breakfast, coffee & biscuits on my learning course, 2 course lunch on the course, curry & cake on the train home. So it's not so much what I ate (though there was plenty of pastry & cake) but that I broke the number 1 Jo-Jo stipulation 'Only eat when you are hungry, and stop when you are full'. Nightmare! I wasn't hungry I was greedy. That is the only word I can think of that fits with what happened. Presented with food....I ate it, Thank you very much. And now I'm sad cos I put on a lb.

OK, so I'm not 'that' sad. I is going on me holidays!! I thought you might like to see my new bikini. Nice, shame about the belly (and the thighs, and bum, and arms, and face...). So it is true. I am going away (some will say 'again') to the sunny (it bloody better be) caribbean island of Grenada. I is very excited. So I am promising you nothing. I will be drinking lots, especially cocktails - pina colada, Bob Marleys, frozen daiquiri, dirty banana etc etc. But I will try to only eat when I am hungry and to hit the gym occasionally. But I will promise you one thing, I will get straight back on to my Jo-Jo plan as soon as I get home!

And today I am booking another holiday (tee hee) skiing in January. But can you believe it?! I am NOT going!! Staying at home with teenage son preparing for his prelims. Sob....

This week I have learnt that a small hic-cup can have big consequences.

This weeks diet is next weeks body.
