Anniversaries of Weddings and Weightwatchers
10 years ago today Mr Wol and were married. We did the official bit ahead of time (9/11 actually - an easy date to remember) but today is the day we took our vows in front of family and friends. It was lovely. We wrote our own vows. The sun shone for almost the only day that month and we could have the whole ceremony outdoors. An old work colleague of Mr Wol's string quartet played and later on there was mad DJing from Dermot (non LJ as far as I know) and photos and party poppers and cake. I was exhausted. I was happy. I was in love. I still am all three - talk about setting a tone huh? Happy Anniversary Mr Wol!
7 days ago Mr Wol and I restarted the ghastly, annoying Weightwatchers programme that worked so well for us until I got pregnant and declared 'ah fuck it!' to dieting. Well we are not doing it properly because we are not shelling out for the privilege of being weighed in once a week and hearing a lecture on portion sizes while BB goes spare in the buggy. Nonetheless I am keeping to the weekly weigh in and staying off the scales in the meantime - excellent tip that one. Today was my first weigh in. As I was still recovering from the lurgy last week I was actually expecting my weight to go up this week as I rehydrated but the results are in and I seem to have lost 10 pounds. EEK! ... However I think I may go and buy some new scales before I get too skippy as ours are old and bounced on by children and possibly not as accurate as they used to be ... But still ... Weee!
Now I can go out for our anniversary dinner without feeling like I am going to waste all the effort, will power and hunger PANGS! Cafe Paradiso does not do low fat options. otoh it also does not do meat so that is one saturated fat option that we will be safe from otooh. it does do cream and cheese and butter so not exactly a dieter's joy. My taste buds are doing the happy dance though whatever my waistline.
ed. later: GAH! have just realized that this great result means I have to knock another point off my daily allowance. Will have to take more exercise as I cannot really cope with under 21 points a day.
