Well week 25 started with the Race For Life last Sunday, (see previous blog) and then involved a couple of days at work, followed by a trip to London for my boyfriend's birthday.
We had a lovely day, but London is the land of temptation. In the early stages of our relationship a good 5 years ago... we used to go to London a lot and boy did I eat! Walking through the streets there were so many nice smells and inviting restaurants and sweet shops. The pizza's stared at me, the milkshakes, the chocolate, chinese and donuts, ohhhh the smell of the donuts! Creperies, Mc Donalds, Ben & Jerrys.... the list is endless.
Anyway we went to Camden for a mooch and then we went to Nando's for lunch. Had a green salad with mushroom and pineapple - 0 points :-) We then went to the science museum, which was fun! Then we went to Leicester Square and came across M&Ms world! It was so fun, just a shop full of M&Ms. Had to get my pic taken with all of the giant M&M people. (see pic)!
We then came back home and went to Pizza Express - I had my usual Leggera Pizza and it was lovely. We then had a cake celebration - with Hugo the Hedgehog, yes he was a pure chocolate thing (looked amazing!) but of course I gave him a miss.
Sitting here today seeing how far I have come is amazing. I would never have gone through a day in London without stuffing my face, I would never have posed next to M&M people and had my photo taken while other people were watching and I would never have passed on a piece of birthday cake as birthdays are "special"....
Today will be my 178th Day on the Wagon. I have never gone over points or cheated in any way and I am still so proud of that. I am also proud that I have kept up with running, continued to push through Jillian's DVDs and exercise every day of the week.
My weigh in was great - I lost 2.6lbs, I got my 7th silver 7 which led me to realise I have lost 49.4lbs in total and will be getting my 50lb star soon!
