Well, it’s been two weeks since my last weigh in, and since then I’ve not only celebrated my birthday with delicious cakes in Strasbourg, but also had my proper birthday party (which involved more cake, nachos (mmm cheese!) and cocktails. Then there was the Mississippi Mud Pie, which I obviously had to try to make sure the rain hadn’t completely killed it…
Needless to say, I haven’t been doing particularly well on my calroie goals recently. So it’s quite surprising that my weight this morning was pretty much exactly the same as it was two weeks ago. I was actually down almost a kilo on my current weight between the last weigh in and my birthday, but sadly it all came back. And I fear this delicious birthday gift from my uncle is not going to help me get back on track…

Never mind, on with the measurements. Body fat percentage this morning was at 29.1%, which is 0.5% less than two weeks ago at least. Still only about one percent away from the danger zone though…
And as for the waistline… it’s the same as two weeks ago on 77 cm. I actually measured 76 cm the day before my birthday, but there was obviously no way that was going to last…
On the exercise front, I have nothing to report. As in I have done nothing in the way of exercise for the past two weeks. First it was too hot, then it was my birthday… and the past few days I’ve just plain been too tired! Work has had me stupidly busy this week… to the extent that I was convinced yesterday was Thursday… I’d been so busy that my brain simply couldn’t believe I’d fit all that work into a mere two days!
I will try to be better over the next week, but with the sweetie hamper to tempt me I’m not promising anything!
That basket is awesome that your uncle put all the goodies in!
He didn’t actually put them in – it came from a company in the UK and he lives in Australia, so I presume he just ordered it. But the basket is fabulous! It will be so useful once it’s empty (which may take until my next birthday… there are a LOT of sweets in there!)
Ooooooooooooh, what a treasure chest!!! π
Yep. I get excited every time I walk past it π
How many times will you be able to resist diving in…??
So far I’ve been really good and only eaten two little fruit salads π (This may be because I got other sweets for my birthday and have been saving the awesome hamper of awesomeness for last…)
Sounds like the perfect strategy.
…for going out of the window π
Lovely gift from your uncle. Tasty, tempting treats and then a useful little hamper. What a great idea!
I know.. it’s amazing! Especially considering my uncle usually forgets birthdays completely.
That basket is magical. Is it ALL candy?!
Yep, an entire basket of sweets from my childhood! The white bags you can just about see on the left contain the kind of sweets you get from jars – like flying saucers and white chocolate mice. Best gift EVER!
oooh that looks so good! I can see some rolos and a double decker hiding in there too! mmm, amazing idea! π
Yep, Rolos, Double Decker and a big box of Maltesers are hiding in there π
That birthday gift does look very delicious! π
You should get thee to a beach in Lithuania – instant motivation! But munching your way through that hamper is probably a much better idea π
