Week 3

Got weighed yesterday morning and I've lost 1lb this week. I'm happy with that after the chip and pie incident. I now weigh 14st 11lb and I've dropped a dress size.

We have a few challenges this weekend, tomorrow we are on a daytrip to visit my northern relatives.  Normally this involves a very nice picnic made by my mother but this time I am making us a seafood salad to take and some natural yoghurt.  How will we cope watching everybody else tucking into sandwiches and quiche? Only time will tell I guess.  Sunday we are going to an exhibition and we wont be able to take anything with us to eat, I'm hoping there will be a jacket potato van but just incase I am going to take a small bar of dark chocolate to tide us over until we can get to food.  Now that might sound like a strange thing to do but having read the Harcombe Diet book it is better to have good quality dark chocolate than a sandwich, definitely my kind of diet.  But if I can lose a pound a week I will be happy.

Foodwise, this week has been a bit more adventurous. We have had cheesy veg a couple of times this week, which has really livened the meals up and today I made a parsley sauce to go with some fish.  I made it using cornflour instead of normal flour as according to Zoe Harcombe the amount of carbs in the cornflour is so slight compared to the quantity of sauce eaten.  Don't get me wrong, there are still times when I would love to be able to just grab something quick to eat but overall it does seem to be getting easier.
