Weigh in (88)

Now THAT's what I'm talking about!! Back of the net!!!!!!

I know what you're thinking, someone who starts a post with eight exclamation marks has either spasmed on the shift-1 button (and their delete button doesn't work) or he has some good news.....and I can confidently say....there ain't nothing wrong with my delete button! (ooops, there goes number nine!....and ten.....)

Two pounds off this week, bringing me in at a cool and sleek 15 stone 8 pounds dead (it's quire refreshing not to have to round-up for a change). Surprising really, as I have only managed one training session (tonight, five miles.....FIVE MILES!! still haven't got used to talking like that sort of distance is like popping down to the corner shop) this week. Seems I have been a much better boy with what I have been eating though.

Don't get me wrong, I am extremely pleased by the result; but if the truth be known I am a little nervous about where I am going at the moment. I keep prattling on about regaining and maintaining control over what I am eating, and even though this weigh in has gone well, it owes itself a lot more to good luck than good judgement. It is only because the temptation has not been shoved in front of my eyes too much that I haven't been tempted (at least I don't openly go out hunting for it I suppose). The worry is that if next week's course of events goes even slightly different, then my eating could just as easily go to pot, and the weight goes back on again. That's pretty much the story of the last couple months isn't it? Really need to break the cycle.

Let's not get to whiney here; it's a good result, and a weight loss always fills me with fresh motivation to push on and make it two good weeks in a row (been a while since I've had a god fortnight). It's so much harder to feel positive after a bad weigh in so let's hope that won't be something I have to worry about for a few weeks. With the running distance on the up I could do with a little less impact on the limbs, and a running style which is a little more ice-skater and a little less Frankenstein! There is still time to make a difference to my fortunes come marathon-time, I need to make the most of every minute.

37 days to go!!!
