Happy Easter everyone!!

Seems like I have an inability to keep the weight down over the weekend! I am hopeful that this pound gain is due water retention due to a combination of TOM and eating out last night, because despite going out for dinner with hubby I did feel I stuck pretty well to my plan. I took JanL's advice on what to go for at a Japanese restaurant and this is what I had:

- Starter: Steamed soy beans followed by miso soup
- Intermediate: 4 pieces of sushi
- Main: Grilled sirloin steak with steamed vegetables in a garlic and miso sauce
- Pudding: Watermelon

It was a fantastic evening - something really different to try.

I stuck to my exercise plan, and then I'm sure I burnt hundreds of calories lugging all the shopping bags back to the car! Here's one of my new dresses:



I've just had a lovely roast turkey Easter lunch at my mum's and was good and refused pudding (even though I was sorely tempted by the Easter egg-topped trifle!) so I hope to have a good result on the scales for my official weekly weigh-in tomorrow!!
155.5 lb Lost so far: 54.5 lb.    Still to go: 15.5 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

I like your dress Leanne. Glad you had a great Easter with your family. Bet your son loved finding the eggs on his Easter Egg hunt. So keep up the great work:)

Thanks you very much - I do love this dress, especially as it's something I wouldn't have be able or confident enough to wear 55 lbs ago!!

Happy Easter Leanne! Sounds like you had a lovely meal... I've not tried Japenese before, but the food you had sounds lovely. You look fabulous in your new dress... as Evelyn said, red really suits you! ;o)

Thanks Sue! I hadn't tried Japanese before either, but it was actually great for someone on a diet - remarkably healthy. I do love wearing red - I've got some red, sparkly Dorothy shoes, which I love, although it might be a bit over-the-top if I wore them with the dress! ;)
