Week 2 of Mission Impossible

So this week was going to be a test, I was working in the country for 3 days of the working week AND it was a bank holiday. Working in the country meant I would miss 2 days training but I managed to ask the trainer if I could jump into the advance class on the Tuesday as I was missing one!

The week started out well, and then I was off to the country on the Tuesday with food in hand. The first test came on the Wednesday when I was out with colleagues for lunch, there were no salads I could get that matched my plan (i.e. not enough greens!) so I opted for a wholemeal sandwich with tuna and loads of lettuce and cucumber. The next day I went to a cafe to meet with my manager and oh my god, the cakes were looking at me so bad, especially a lemon meringue pie! I stuck with green tea and said I was going to have a big salad in an hour and managed to resist that way.

Went to a sandwich bar where they did up a gorgeous salad for me but they had no balsamic vinegar or olive oil so opted for a Ceaser dressing which I told her only a little bit but she poured it on! The Friday then, I went out for lunch again! No salads this time, I opted for what said, a Chicken Sandwich (served on wholemeal pitta bread). It came out absolutely dripping in mayo and sauce and wasn't a wholemeal pitta, I ate it and felt crap after it so drove 2 hours back to Dublin and hit the gym for an hour!

It felt good to be back in the gym sad as it sounds! Got home about 7.30pm then and now I could rest! I had no plans for the weekend unfortunately or fortunately so ended up doing a good shop and cooking food all weekend AND I didn't have any alcohol!

I did get a huge craving for a chipper on the Sunday though after I went to the gym, the day before Week 2 weigh in, I went to my local Tescos and it's surrounded by a Subway, a pizza place, a  burger place and McDonalds and a chipper! Before I probably would have went to the chipper and ordered myself a big bags of chips (I'm actually drooling over them now!).

So Monday morning, a bank holiday Monday morning I might add and it was weigh in time... *duh duh duh*

28th July - 12 stone 11.5lbs or 81.4kg
4th August - 12 stone 7.5lbs or 79.7kg

I had lost another  just close to 4lbs or 1.7kg!

Absolutely delighted! This brings my total loss to just under a stone, in just 2 weeks! So delighted with myself that I decided to have a nice breakfast at a local cafe to treat myself and still be on plan! The cafe which is called The Lo-Cal Cafe serves healthier options such as turkey rashers and sausages.

I opted for The Healthy Hangover with a green tea, absolutely delicious. This was my healthy cheat meal, still on plan but with a few added things I shouldn't be eating i.e. the beans AND bread & butter. It was soooo worth it though!

My gorgeous brunch!!! 

Cute little teapot! 

Right, so I'm past the halfway mark, only another 2 weeks to go and I know if I can go 2 weeks without drinking any sugar drinks, no crisps or chocolate, I know I can survive another 2!!!
