252.8lb

I weighed myself first thing today. Well, the routine is to get weighed as soon as I get out of bed, naked, after a shit and before I eat anything. Can't get any lighter than that, can I? 

I'm down by a pound and a half. I'll take that, thank you very much. That's 1.5 lb off after only six days, instead of seven, when half of those days went over target. Bloody good result. Now, would I like to have lost a bit more? Of course. Just a pound more would have taken me just below eighteen stone, thus into a new bracket, the seventeens. But I will aim for that next week. I'm determined to stay properly on track more this week. I've done a full fortnight now, so maybe I will even suggest a couple of short walks after dinner to TMM. Start to get some gentle exercise.

My daily calorie goal this week is 1200 per day. That's down by ten cals daily since I adjusted my weight on the MyFitnessPal app this morning. I still think that it's a very low goal for a woman of my weight, and I don't always find it easy to stay within it. Days off can be especially tough. I'm sitting about the house, the kitchen is so handy. Coffee and chocolate are just an arm's reach away. So far, I've managed to resist. I try not to have too much sweet stuff about the house. Of course, The Main Man has the odd choccy bar or packet of biscuit, but I try my best to ignore those. It wouldn't be fair to ask him not to bring things like that in to his own home. I have been quite proud of the fact that he bought me a 100g bar of 85% dark chocolate last week and I only ate three of the ten squares on evening. I can eat that stuff very slowly, savouring each mouthful, letting a little melt with a sip of tea or coffee (dark chocolate is particularly good with black coffee, but it's a very high caffeine treat, so not great last thing at night.) So there has been three quarters of a bar of chocolate in the cupboard for a few day, and I haven't just mindlessly eaten it. 

I don't have many cals left for dinner today, so there'll be not chocolate tonight. It's Easter Sunday, this day week. TMM and I are going to Mum's for dinner, so I will weigh myself that morning and try to save a few cals for choc that day. Till then, I'm going to try to be good.
