Suprise, Suprise......

....no I haven't just morphed into Cilla Black, but I am absolutely amazed with WI today. I lost 3lb, which is fantastic but have no idea how. This week has been a bit of a rollercoaster hormonally. To cut a long story short, my contraceptive implant is almost expired (my first ever one) and it's suddenly made my body throw a bit of a wobbly to say the least! I spent over a week with everyone including my GP thinking I must be pregnant (morning sickness, breast changes, being emotional etc). It turns out that it is just the implant (thank goodness - we don't want another one yet) and I will be having it out in the next 7-10 days. Unfortunately, the hormones made me really hungry and I totally pigged over the weekend and went way over my points. I did have some activity points but not enough to cover it so spent the rest of the week "paying back points". Eventually the points tallied up but I thought it would be a miracle if I didn't have a gain but I wasn't too worried about it under the circumstances. But no a big 3 and that gave me a 3rd Silver 7 whoop whoop. So I have now lost 21 lbs in 8 weeks at weight watchers to add to the 29 I lost before I joined, making a grand total of 50 lbs! Needless to say I feel really good about this :). Bring on the next 50lbs please.

So on to this WW week. Well it is Megan's 7th birthday tomorrow and we are having a little tea party on Friday (so Nanny can come). I will be making my 0 point soup tomorrow so that I can have some before the party. I have got some WW friendly treats for myself and Simon's Mum (also at ww) and pointed it all up already so not worried about that at all. I wanted us to be able to enjoy it without worrying about points so planned it all well in advance.

I just hope more weeks can be as good as this for WW. As far as excercise goes this week, I would like to try to fit in at least 1 more structured activity. I have let that fall by the wayside the last few weeks, but have been walking 1-2 hours a day (it seems to fit in more easily to our lives). I am serious about the Race for Life so I think I may have to step it up a gear soon. I will see how this week goes.
