So I can't tell you my weight or a change as I'm not home. However, I can tell you that my fat percentage has dropped from 50% to 44%! So that's a good move. Much excitement for next week though as it'll be for 2 weeks not just the 1. Can you cope? I can't.
I am so dense sometimes. Brushing my teeth the other night I had a lightbulb moment. We've discussed here before that it's one thing losing weight but another keeping it off. I've already been told that your body tricks you, making you feel hungrier, releasing hormones to trap you. It can literally con you into eating fat and sweet foods. All because it desperately wants to get back to your previous fat weight. So I'm ready - when I get to target I am prepared for the battle facing me. But d'oh! I've lost 1½ stones already and my body has started to make a mockery of me already. It just didn't occur to me. I'm thinking 'when I get to target' but no...it starts now. With my busyness and relaxed diet recently by body has taken full advantage. That's why I've struggled the last couple of weeks! I've had the mega cravings I was warned about. I've been tempted to eat more than I should. How very rude! Why can't my body just be happy for me? You'd think it would like being healthier and happier and not sabotage what I've already done. I think it's poo. Losing weight is hard enough as it is!
So this week started with aplomb. My friends 50th - an intoxicating tea party with lush cocktails, cakes, meringue, cream etc. Then Mothers Day - both my children were home. Son cooked lunch (fried egg on toast) and daughter cooked dinner (full roast) with the odd glass of wine. Then I've spent 3 days in Callander with Geordie mate. That's included full Scottish breakfasts, prosecco, gin, afternoon tea. The works! Though we have walked a lot. In the rain and hail. Maybe next week I can get back to plan. Forewarned is forearmed?? No more trickery from Gilly. I've got her card marked!
Happiness is not out there. It's inside you.
