Luckily my croissant the other day seemed to do no permanent damage (or maybe the glader coming back helped to alleviate it), and I lost another pound this week. However, a day off yesterday, spent shopping for a dress for the wedding, watching a film and eating, meant that I had another cheating day.
Firstly at the cinema I was tempted by toffee popcorn and ate a whole huge bag (very naughty I know). The high sugar content set off a low blood sugar/blood pressure episode later in the afternoon (the first I've had since starting the IPD) and I almost fainted. We stopped and had a snack at Paul's which is the most fabulous french patisserie and so I had a gorgeous quiche lorraine and a cup of hot chocolate. This was followed later in the evening by garlic bread with caramelised onions & balsamic vinegar at De:Alto, although I did manage to stick to an IPD friendly entree, once again having the chicken in marsala sauce with a green salad with caesar dressing. I finished the evening with a very small spoonful of Lynne's chocolate cheesecake (milk & dark chocolate layers on a chocolate biscuit base).
The good news is that although I've had the odd cheat, my size has definitely decreased. All the dresses I tried on fit well, and they were size 22 - in fact in 1 shop I tried on a size 20 which would have also fitted perfectly had I been wearing pants of steel. I also invested in some new underwear - a pricey investment, but well worth it - amazing what a difference to the figure a well fitting bra makes (I hadn't realised just how much my size had changed) and Lynne tells me it makes the amount of weight I've lost even more noticeable.
Today I was very good and got straight back on track starting with my usual protein shake, smoked salmon, philly and avocado rollups for lunch and meatballs, cauli mash and buttered vegetables followed by a small slice of blackcurrant cheesecake for dinner. I have had a glass of wine this evening, but as it's only the one I think I can get away with that.
Unfortunately, the trousers that I wore to go shopping (my yoga pants) do not have a very good waistband and so my pedometer didn't work properly. All those miles of walking and it only registered 360 steps all day (and we were out for 13 hours!) - I'm sure I did over my 10,000 steps though.
