But it was only a couple of pounds so actually I am rather thrilled! There was only one person at the meeting who had lost (and she was stick thin anyway) and some people had put on loads. But honestly, if you can't pig out at Christmas what on earth is the point? I do feel that I am back on track and I'm sure that next week will see me dropping again. I am now swimming daily and thinking much more about my target.
We have new Slimming World packs. I haven't got my head round mine yet but some of the Healthy Extras have changed. I'll let you know what I think when I've had a good read.
Happy New Year for 2012. Bring on the Olympics.

Gutted!
I lost another pound this week - Lord knows how - but I am not a happy bunny. I should have been Slimmer of the Week, that title going to the person who has lost the most over a 2 week period. The winner had only lost 5.5 lbs and I have lost 7.5lbs. Well I didn't really want a lot of manky fruit and a fridge magnet anyway . . .
The fun night at SW wasn't much. Very few people there. Of course there will be an onslaught of New Year resolutions come January.
It is 3 days until Christmas and I am officially coming off the diet today for a week. New Year won't bother me as we don't do anything then ever. So back to damage limitation.
Merry Christmas everybody.

Tidings of comfort and joy
I knew last week was a blip! Six and a half pounds off this week. In reality I reckon it's probably a couple of pounds but we are still going in the right direction. Am very chuffed. Sixteen stone five and a half.
I stayed for the class this week, something I've only managed a couple of times since September. Poor old Elaine is fighting a losing battle around Christmas time. So many don't even turn up for the weigh-in, all motivation gone. I don't know why I remain upbeat, probably because I'm still at work and sometimes am just too busy to eat. That changes today. I break up at 10.30 this morning. It would be great to have lost a little more by the meeting next Wednesday, I think my chances of getting Slimmer of the Week are quite good. We shall see. I may be forced to go on another night as a trip up to Norfolk is a must some time next week.
I remain unimpressed by the Slimming World website - I seem to be alone on this! It won't let you register your new weight until 7 days after the last entry. Even though I was weighed on Wednesday I can't put the new total in until Sunday. (I was obviously running late the week before). And the searches are devidedly clunky. Sorry Slimming World.

Oh dear
I knew last week was bad, and this week was no better. 5lbs overall. But I am not particularly downhearted. I haven't done much swimming because of temperature problems at the pool, I hadn't stuck to the diet much, and it is Christmas so there is much temptation about.
Next week I will hope to have lost at least some of the excess baggage. I am having particular problems staying asleep. Twice this week I have been up at 3 am. Am also looking after my 18 month old grandson after school (and overnight tonight). I feel very, very tired. We break up a week today. Friday can't come quickly enough.
On the Olympic front I have been booked for Orientation Training at Wembley Arena at the beginning of February. I had to double-check as I thought at first it said Orienteering which is possibly not my kind of thing!
