onwards and upwards

By now I should be on day 2 of the 4-day detox but I decided at the weekend to postpone starting it till tomorrow, as DP's parents are coming round for dinner to celebrate his mum's birthday tonight and I didn't really want to be sitting with a plate of lentils while they all ate DP's delicious tandoori chicken. But we went to the supermarket at the weekend and got everything I need, have the menus all planned out and I'm feeling confident I can do it - it is only 4 days after all, and it doesn't look too ridiculous.

We were down at our old house in London packing it up over the weekend as we are moving next month - we've been renting for 6 months while we sold the London house and bought a new one. Got lots done but eating healthily was not on the cards, oh dear...tricky to cook in the old house as there's nothing much left in the kitchen, so we bought pizza at the supermarket on Friday night, had chips on Saturday night and then when we got back here on Sunday late and having had no lunch we caved in and went to the Indian takeaway for curry. Oops. However, on Saturday morning I walked miles in London (enjoying doing the touristy thing along the South Bank now I no longer live there!) and we also went for quite a long walk on Hampstead Heath on Sunday afternoon. Followed by the pub - where I had a diet coke rather than a big glass of wine. When I weighed myself this morning I realised I'd shifted three of the pounds I put on last week - would have done more, I'm sure, if I hadn't eaten so much crap over the weekend, but am pleased anyway as I thought I'd just be the same.

Am hopeful that the detox will at least take me back to the weight I started at!!!
