Mr. Captain's Week 3 Weight Report

Wednesday 25th. March 2009

At 0830 am with absolute assurance I entered our bathroom and approached The Scales. I had been a 'good man' over the past 7 days so now I was going to see the fruits of my efforts. I was not disappointed.

Result.
16 st. 7 lbs. = 231 lbs. [- 21lbs total ]

Girls that is a pound a day for 3 whole weeks . Now I know that I started with a huge advantage - I was literally HUGE. In addition I was very annoyed that I had allowed myself to get so 'Out of Condition'. I am now a candidate for canonisation.

This week so far.
With Mum away with 'The Ladies' in Wexford I was now in a self catering situation. Not really the very best condition for someone on a Diet . Saturday and Sunday went well. But Thursday was different
Some years ago Mum , Audrey and I were esconced in Resturant Patrick Guilbeau perusing the Menu. Mum made her choice and Audrey and I agreed to share a 'meal for two' of Shredded Roast Duck with Pancakes with vegatables in Hosin sauce
Our meal was served up and was lovely. Mum was very happy with her choice but Aud and I were disappointed with the portions of duck on our plates. As we consumed our main course we were amazed to be served an additional plate fully ladened with with additional quantities of delicious shredded duck which absolutly made our night. I have always remembered that Duck over the years. On Sunday in the Food Columns of the Papers I read that Marks and Spencers sold a beautiful Shredded Duck in their food section
On TThursday I strayed into M&S on Grafton St. and found myself in the food section. I searched the many, many shelves and lo and behold there was the Shredded Duck. Within moments and a flash of the Lasor Card the duck was in my M&S bag and I was on my way home with the Irish Times. In actual fact the meal was only 1/2 a duck and the cooking instructions were concise
I really enjoyed that meal and it lasted for two days but it certainly was a breech of my diet and it may be reflectedin my next Wednesday's weigh-in but I'm so far ahead of the competion in this project it won't effect the final result or so I hope!!!
Watch out for my next report !!!!
