So, today I weighed-in for the 3rd time as part of my 5 Stone Challenge. As you know from the entry below, this week had been going really well, up until Saturday, where I attended a friend’s wedding and ended up drinking a whole lot of wine….and when I say a lot, I mean A LOT!
All things considered, I expected to have put on a few pounds this week, but when I stepped on the scales, it turns out I’ve remained the same weight as last week, so I’ve still lost a total of 21lbs. Of course, not making progress is frustrating, but it has actually taught me a valuable lesson, which is that it’s okay to go off plan sometimes. Infrequent events, like weddings, are opportunities to let your hair down, de-stress 
and enjoy the party with friends or family. It’s events like the wedding last Saturday which create amazing memories and, as long as they are infrequent, you can counter-balance your increased calorie intake by getting straight back on the diet and exercising a little more. At some stage, after the challenge is complete, I am going to need to create a lifestyle where I maintain a stable, healthy weight long-term, so this is a lesson for me.
