Well at least I lost something, its not much, but better than nothing.
The weigh in: 196.2 pounds, 14 stone 0.2 pounds, 89.2 kilograms.
Daily Weight loss: 0.2 pounds, N/A. .09 kilo
Cumulative weight loss: 5.4 pounds, N/A, 2.45 kilograms.
What did you do? Morning walk with Rupert as usual. Linda & I went on a major food shopping expedition to Villefranche. Bought mounds of vegetables & fruit plus meats & fish. Our local Hyper Market (HyperU) really is very good, not quite up to outdoor market standards, but more than acceptable. Had a good visit with first Huguette (Roop's vet & our friend) then Jacques (another friend). Quiet evening.
What did you eat? Lunch was cheese, pate and salad. When our visitors were here we had serrano ham & olives and I allowed myself a full glass of wine (didn't want Jacques to drink alone). Then we had a roast chicken stuffed with garlic and broccoli, coco beans and gravy.
Now you know why the weight loss was so small. Even though I waited until I had quite a bit of food on my stomach before drinking the wine it still slowed things up. Better tomorrow.

Diet Day 4 Could have been better
No progress today. No loss, but no gain. Not unexpected as I'll explain later.
The weigh in: Everything the same.
Daily weight loss: Zero
Cumulative weight loss: As before.
What did you do? Linda, Rupert & I took a good walk even though it was a bit foggy and cold. Up through some woods, along nice tracks, then a road and finally back to our starting place. Went home and had a look at the Sunday paper then got ready to go out to lunch at some friends house. Nice lunch (described below) with nice people and good conversation. Lunch broke up about 5:00 PM. We went home & rescued poor Rupert who had his legs crossed by then.
What did you eat? Going out to lunch at friends is difficult. In this case there were cashew nuts that I could nibble (although I think I had too many) and leave the potato chips and bread with a caviar like spread alone. I had a small glass of orange juice. Dinner was a really good chicken corma. I had a good sized portion of that along with lots of string beans. Did not eat the rice or roast potatoes. There was a fruit salad for dessert (this was in addition to the plum crumble). I had a small portion. I also had about 1/2 a glass of red wine about halfway through the meal.
At home later in the evening I had a cheese plate with cucumbers & dill pickles.
Now you know why I didn't lose any weight yesterday. We'll see what happens today.

Diet - Day 3 Keeping going
Third day's over and not bad at all. Easy enough to keep off the bad stuff except that I do miss my glass of wine.
The Weigh in: 196.4 pounds, 14 stone 0.4 pounds, 89.3 kilograms.
Weight loss day 3: 1.6 pounds, Not relevant, .72 kilogram.
Cumulative weight loss: 5.2 pounds, 2.36 kilograms.
What did I do? Started with a good long walk with Rupert; over an hour. Then ran some errands in Caylus. Did a bit of computer work. The afternoon was mainly more shutter sanding & painting. Finished by reading & TV watching. A pretty quiet day.
What did I eat? No breakfast as is normal for me; just decaf coffee. Lunch was a 3 egg cheese (laguiole) omelette with a large salad (mache, cilantro, tomatoes, cucumber & creamy vinaigrette.).
For dinner we had Toulouse sausage with broccoli and coco beans. I had a small Cabecou (goat's cheese) cheese on Swedish crisp bread as a sort of dessert.
Another good day from the weight loss point of view. I just hope this loss rate keeps up for a while.
