Weigh in (80)

In case you were suspicious as to the frequency of my weigh-ins, you have got a very, fully-fledged, sod of a good point. I promise you that hopping on the scales has been a regular part of my usual Friday night routine; the trouble is I haven't been posting about it quite so religiously, so this one is about last Friday's result. Hopefully by this Friday we will be back on schedule.

There are strange things happening at the moment; this time however I am not complaining - not one eensy weensy bit - as I'm now 15 stone 12 pounds! This represents a weight loss of 5 pounds?!!

Fear not, I am not going to get too carried away by this good news; much as I didn't get that hung up over last week's sixteen stone plus result. I have yet to work out what is going on though; maybe my physical self is still adjusting to the new routine that my mental self is starting to settle into? Another problem is that my weigh in times have not been exactly the same (last week was post-dinner yum-yums, this week was pre-yum-yum). Whether all, either, or none of the above I'm satisfied that this figure is more representative of where I am, and gives me a lot more hope in my ability to knock off the miles and of course the pounds in the coming months.

Positivity aside for a second - out of character though it may be - I am falling into a bit of a metphiorrical bear trap (no, not the one of not being able to spell). I am mentally thinking (I wrote that, and blimey it made me laugh....so I'm going to leave it in!) that as I am doing so more strenuous exercise at the moment, I can get away with eating, not bad; but certainly badder. Must cut this out; the training will certainly require more calories; but this is also an opportunity to really do some weight clobbering. The weekly routine needs a bit of fine-tuning (ironically it's the weekends when I'm back at home which are proving problematic; but a friend has given me some recipes involving pulses which are apparently super-healthy...love the fact that increasing my pulse intake helps reduce my pulse......chortle chortle.....), but I feel I am almost adjusted to it. Basically we are good to go. But I still have to 'go'!!

The snow is a blow this week, and it does worry me that the only likely exercise I will be getting this week will be the gym run on Sunday, with the possible addition of a swim on Saturday. It won't do my prospects of losing weight any good as those sessions don't come until after I've weighed in. Mind you, the weigh my wayt has been fluctuating of late, I might end up twelve and a half stone............

......and then I'll wake up and have my Rice Crispies......

.......89 days to go........
