Day 40 already. It drags and then before you know it you're about a quarter of the way through (for me anyway).
I've settled into a happy routine of a Thai Chilli at lunch, made with a little whizzer that cost 2 quid from John Lewis and then a huge bowl of one chicken and one mushroom packet when I get home from work and then a hot chocolate before bed. To be honest, not being able to run off to console myself with food when the going gets tough is a relief. But it does leave me a little cofused. I'm not sure what else to do instead. I have long baths every day anyway, I spoil myself regularly and I don't have anyone else to think about when I get home. In a way it's been a blessing, but I can't help but wonder what I'm going to fill my life with to replace food (well I sort of know, but I don't know you well enough to tell you yet!) I must confess that for the last couple of weeks I have been reading recipe books with a vengeance - I can't wait to cook again. I suppose I could now but there's noone to cook for and I really don't fancy inviting people round and then making them eat in front of me...I'd feel a bit bonkers.
I have no idea what goal to go for. I want to be under 12.5 stone so that I can go horse-riding in Hyde Park - but I can't ever remember a weight I was happy at. I was a size 12-14 when I was 10st in 1990, but due to the sizing changes in recent years I could get into a 14 when I was 13 stone 9 years ago. I felt fat at 10 stone, but that was distorted thinking, I'm sure.
Week 1 13.64lbs
Week 2 4.62lbs
Week 3 2.64lbs
Week 4 7.48lbs
Week 5 3.3lbs
Total - 2st 3.68lbs in 35 days
Aiming to be less than 100kg by weigh-in on Sunday 18th Feb
