turpsIt was our weight management appointment yesterday, which I'll cut for weight/food talk
Since the last appointment 6 weeks ago, I've dropped another 18.5 pounds, making an overall loss over the twelve weeks of two and a half stone. While James' overall total is one stone and one pound, so we're both very pleased.
I think doing the same programme together is helping loads. Before it was just me, but now we've both cut out snacky stuff completely and focussed on eating well the vast majority of the time, but without being rigid about that. For example, we went to the cinema after our appointment yesterday and went to Subway for lunch, getting a meal deal that came with salad, drink, and a packet of crisps. So, we kept the crisps to take to the cinema and I enjoyed them without any guilt at all.
It also helps to keep away from the snack aisle at Company, which tends to have mega cheap things like boxes of grab bags of crisps that are all too tempting if they enter the house.
But yeah, all is going well. We met the new lady, Rosie, who is taking over in our location, so the drop in sessions should start soon, as while she's shadowing now, she'll be taking full charge very soon. It's a shame the drop in sessions haven't run in our area throughout, but the one to one sessions have been helpful and hopefully, I'll get to go to at least a few before our time is up.
Like I mentioned, we went to the cinema after our appointment and saw Civil War, and man, I barely looked from the screen the whole time. What a scary film, in that everything seemed so horrifically plausible, but filmed so perfectly, along with some truly horrific images at times. I'd recommend, but it was a hard watch at times.
Today I need to wait in as our boiler is acting up, so someone is coming to look at it at some point. It's one of my brother's friends and while he is a qualified boiler person, he's also fitting us in as a favour so will just turn up when he can. Hopefully, it won't cost too much, but it needs doing as I haven't been able to have a bath the last two nights, which is all kinds of wrong.
