Often the beginning of May starts with a Bank Holiday (which we get next week). So this week instead of 4 straight days of Masonic things going on I have 5. That's right every day this week something is going on. I'm out Monday night, all day Tuesday including evening, Wednesday afternoon and evening, all day Thursday and evening Friday too!
Amazing! But there you go - Mrs. F. is OK with that apparently! We are also out Saturday night so I fully expect the diet to take a few wobbles along the way but I'm able to dance around the food stuff and can ask for more vegetables etc and refuse potatoes and so on. I'm guessing there will be a few forbidden foods that may get past my guard but as long as I don't go mad I should be OK and it is difficult as there are 4 meals that are out of my control as to what is available.
Have to say that I'm pretty impressed with the diet so far. Clothes wrap around me now and it is amusing to put on a shirt and have enough spare material to wrap over by a good 3 or 4 inches. I'm quite pleased with the result and seeing the weight gone it encourages further participation in the diet and as Mrs. F. comments it is also cheap to feed me too. We cook up the legumes and freeze sufficient for a day allowing me to pull a bag out a day and use them. At 90p a bag we can get a full 7 days supply out of each which is pretty good economically if you think about it? Eggs, Chicken and Spinach and Salad are also pretty inexpensive too so it all seems to work quite well on many fronts, economically, well-being and also health wise too. My BP readings are nice and low and generally within the limits I set. It would be nice to get them a few points lower but with more weight loss and a little more exercise, that should happen.
So let's hope that I can keep with the programme and stick as near as possible this week to the diet - I know that will be difficult but I really don't want to end up back where I started which will be all the encouragement I need.
