hmmm well..

Last Wednesday weigh in saw me back up 2.5lb of the 3.5lb I lost over the week I was ill, weighing in at 165.5 lb.

I've had a few meals out this week, and yesterday, I had a VERY bad day food wise... but as this is a blog and it is good to be completely honest to prompt me into eating better and not doing the same again... I ate an entire giant easter egg that was given to me on Sunday... apparently 1/4 of the egg contained almost 400 calories.. so I had probably about 1500 calories yesterday of CHOCOLATE never mind my breakfast and lunch... I decided to skip dinner and have an early night.

This morning I weighed myself to see what the damage would be, and had a reading of 162.5 lb. Erm, what the?? I don't particularly think I've had a good week even not considering yesterday. Was it the skipped dinner? Maybe I am eating my main meals far too late at night, sometimes as late as 9pm, but usually after the kids are both in bed, so around 8pmish. Maybe I should start eating my main meal for lunch with the kids, and a light meal around 5-ish with the kids instead of a light meal at lunchtime, around 12, then a large meal at 8ish. And save a portion for Jonathan to take to work with him for the next day's lunch. That might help him to lose some weight too which I think he wants to do. He's a lower BMI than I am, but he's around the same weight I was when Christopher was born. I guess being 6'5" helps in that regards ;)

It's worth giving that a try I guess, switching main meals and trying not to eat too late, then Jonathan can grab something when he gets back in the evening. If I do that today, I wonder if I'll get a good weigh in on the scales tomorrow on my official weigh in day.
