That's exactly what I ended up doing. Slept loads - major lie in this morning! I did watch a documentary in bed but I still put in at least 10 hours straight sleep! I remember from last time sleeping deeper.
So, last night the demons came (why did I watch masterchef?!) and I started questioning this - the possible health issues, the lack of exercise (I came off it last time to do exercise and did none!) and longterm metobolism issues. Thankfully I put them aside and didn't use it as an excuse to crack and have an extra pack or worse.
Very pleased about this morning and good loss. I've already looked into all of these things, of course, and come to the conclusion that it is fine for a relatively short period of time with a significant break in between.
I just need to get from pack-to-pack which can be harder at the weekend when we are at home and I don't find myself a project or a load of tasks to undertake.
I am also spending far too long at my desk on the internet searching for or looking at the the same old thing again and again. I wonder how often I look at my weigh-loss graph everyday?! I need to reduce this habit down to a sensible level and get on with other stuff instead now I think. After 8 days I think I can firmly say I am on this and I will remain when I continue to make the right decision at the multiple times a week or day that they arrive. I bought a smart TV for my desk yesterday so I could do some of the more mundane work tasks whislt semi-watching it. All that has happened so far is a whole lot of internet rambling!
Anyway, to continue the rambling, I have now lost 9.6 lbs and I yesterday I checked to see exactly how much I gained since mid October - 21.2 lbs :O. So, that means I have another 11.6 lbs to go and at a rate of 3.5 lbs/wk I can have that off in about 3 weeks 4 days. That will be a happy day!
I am going to go ahead and put some other goals in my sig.
