Well yes, I am a little happier than I’ve been for a while. The weight seems to finally be on the move in the right direction. A drop of 400 grams may not seem like a huge difference but it means that, at 134.90 kilos, I’m back in the range I’ve been looking forward to. Now I just have to keep it up. I have to accept the occasional ‘blip’ in the diet, along with the occasional ‘stall’. I was warned about it in the support group so in theory I was ‘prepared’. However, as much as I’ve read and ‘prepared’ myself, I managed to totally forget that stalls were a natural part of the process and I shouldn’t get too excited about them, especially when it has only been 10 days! Some people ‘stall’ for months before the process kicks back in,
Moving on, you probably noticed I missed yet another day of ‘blogging’. This time it was for a sensible reason. My daughter came over again yesterday to help me sift through the hundred or so boxes of ‘stuff’ we accumulated whilst living in a far bigger house and property. Apart from the exercise it provided, it also lifted the depression a little and I can look at what’s left with some anticipation, rather than just give up because the task is too great for an oldie like me. The point being I was too tired to even *think* of ditting and typing up the day’s ‘doings’ 🙂
Anyway, back to the diet. Today I had a ‘sensible breakfast (Coco Pops and Weetbix with milk), so I should be ok (foodwise) for a long while yet. In fact, I probably don’t need an actual meal as such for lunch, and may just have a high protein ‘meal replacement’ bar, or even a small bowl of soup! The rationale is needing to keep up the momentum to stop myself from moving back to where I was a week or so ago, i.e. gaining weight instead of losing it.
Actually, slow and steady may be the best way forward anyway. Whichever way works, as long as the weight is decreasing… the battle continues. 🙂
