199.6lb

Just shy of three pounds off and under 200lbs! That's a grin on my face you can see. The size of the Cheshire Cat's! I'm still in awe of how well this is going. With just four more pounds, I will be into the thirteen stone bracelet.  I have now lost sixty-one pounds in just eighteen weeks. 

I think, because it's still early days, I mean for months is nothing in the weight loss game, I still feel the fresh enthusiasm of a newbie. The results are still good and there's been no slump as yet, so it's easy to stay upbeat. I still haven't managed to go for a run. That's truly ridiculous. But I have to remind myself that if I really wanted to, I'd just do it. 

As far as food is concerned, I find some days easier than others. If I have a big breakfast, I find it harder to find something suitably satisfying for dinner, as I have less calories to play with. So the very light breakfasts and lunches of my normal working day are more comfortable for me. Today being Sunday, I had brunch. So I didn't eat anything until half past eleven. And I ate slowly, so I've only just finished. It was low fat sausages and eggs, nearly five hundred calories in total. That leave seven hundred for later. I'd actually like to only eat five hundred and leave a couple of hundred in reserve for tomorrow night's pizza, but I might find that too difficult. I have to be realistic. A thousand calories isn't very much, and dinner is hours away. I will probably be too hungry to only have 500. But we'll see. I've just finished a very satisfying sausage omelette. I shouldn't be thinking of more food already. That's part of my problem though. I can always think about food, regardless of how soon after my last meal it is. 

Anyway, I phoned Mum and she was delighted with my result. She's going to weigh herself in the morning, so hopefully she'll be happy with how she does this week too. And it's time to order the Dr Marten bag that she said she'd buy me. Wooo. I wonder if it's in stock in the shop in Belfast, of if I need to get it on line. Off I go to do some research.
