Well.. the same should be applied to when you are attempting to lose weight! And here's why.
Last week, she ran around all over town at high speed gathering her 'nuts' in the way of last minute donations, money and other such exciting goodies. Whilst travelling at high speed, she neither ate nor drank.
So come today.. when she was weighing in and hoping for at least a 2.5 or maybe 3lb weight lose.. what did she find? This hideous truth that.. if you don't eat enough (of the right foods) your fat tumtum will almost certainly stay the same size!
The week when she was most gratified to find she'd lost 3lbs, she'd eaten a pizza.. a whole BIG pizza all by herself! So that's it, if she leaves the house, she'll take a litre bottle of water and a box full of ham or tuna and salad with her.
She's just come home smelling of something scrumptious! Apparently it was a middle eastern very thin flat bread filled with spinach, cheese and onions.. "slurp" was all she said. But she had also bought french beans and pears and carrots and some bacon. So instead of fruit, she'll have eggs and bacon in the morning, I'll have my soft hard boiled egg, which I love, together with a spoonful of hummus.
But hey, at least she didn't gain anything and she has lost something every week for the past nine weeks, this time her loss is not half as dramatically quick as when she last decided to lose weight but she's older now and wants 'everything' to shrink at the same time!
So what was her weight loss this last week? Half a lb.. which means that she's nearly lost two bags of dog food.. when she was young, the dogs had a dog biscuit called Winalot, it came in 7lb bags and you didn't want to carry those bags around all day long.. but that is what she's been doing (and more) on her poor old dodgy knees.
She's intending, I might say with her doctors' full approval) to lose the equivalent of 5 bags of dogs food.. watch this space!
More yumyum and more water and exercise should help her along. Then Mr. Alun, her Vascular specialist, won't bark at her when she goes for her yearly check-up in October!
Pouring cats and dogs here.. not a chance of going out to work in the allotments but they are getting lots to drink, thank goodness.
Me, I've had lunch and I'm off for a doze on my pole, she's got a white wash to do, so we bid farewell to you, Dear Readers and to Summer, for tomorrow is September the First, the first day of Autumn.. and yippee.. Oysters are back in season!
