Weigh-In Wednesday

Current Weight

10st 3lb

(Week #15 - Weekly Loss 1lb / Total Loss 1st 12lb)

I think for once I am going to focus on the negative, just for a moment. Please allow me to indulge - literally, for this weigh-in comes on the back of eating a takeaway pizza, several "full fat" Irn-Brus, even more cans of lager and a tube of Pringles - oh and then there was my lazy Saturday! It begs the question, what would my weight be if I hadn't had all that in the past seven days?! Returning to the positive, I ate all that and still got a tick in the loss column!

Losing one whole pound is so much more satisfying than half of one, like last week. I remember when I started this I had no clue as to how much weight loss per week was good or bad. Most people assured me that anywhere between one and two pound is a healthy amount to lose. It makes sense. I've never quite understood those who starve themselves to shoot down to their target weight, then wonder why they shoot back up again straight after. Mind you, these are usually people who are on a "diet" and without sounding too preachy, that is not what this is. What I am attempting to do is a life changer, not some fad of a diet. I think I would have got bored a long time if I was on one of those "only eat green things" or "foods that begin with 'C' only" nonsense!

The World Cup ends on Sunday (cue: cheers, boos and vuvuzelas), which means once more it should be easier to get some exercise into my day. Normality will have resumed. Well, as normal as one gets! Looking forward to that. Almost as much as I'm looking forward to my curry on Saturday night... oh yeah, it's almost been two weeks since I last had any. Not that I'm counting the days - or the calories, come to think of it.
