some progress...

Weight: 88kg
Waist: 85cm
BP: 130/80

So the headline here is that I've had a normal blood pressure reading, which is brilliant.  Can't say I can particularly link it to weight loss but I think I have lost a wee bit more than the numbers suggest.   The fact that my waist measurement is down is encouraging and I have a feeling I weighed myself naked last week and this week I was wearing clothes... so all in all I am getting there.
Not that I deserve it after having a very naughty day yesterday.  I had a day "working from home" - actually it was a day in lieu.  Anyway I ate an entire cake!!!
I did do some house painting too but I rather think that the cake outweighed whatever calories I burned doing that.  Oops.

I have generally slipped a wee bit although I am still feeling very motivated.  I have found that organisation is a key to keeping on track.  If I get lazy then I don't make good lunches and run out of vital food.
Also the other day I was really light headed and simply had to eat something, so I ate tons of fruit and nut mixture.  Not the worst thing I could have eaten but I suppose I should have made myself eat a carrot.

Anyway.  That's all I have to say right now.  Going out for dinner tomorrow, so the challenge will be to restrain myself.  Something I am VERY BAD at.  This weekend we are planning to do some pathlaying in the back garden (see www.joandsteverenovate.blogspot.com ) so that should be a good weekend's exercise.  Onwards and downwards.
