159.4lb

Weigh in day!

I lost 1.2lb this week and I can't tell you how chuffed I am with that! What with the calorie laden birthday meal, the early surfin' of the dreaded crimson tide and the heavy sneak peak, I wasn't all that hopeful of any sort of loss. This consolidates last week's big loss nicely (not such a fluke after all) and puts me into new territory. I'm under 160 pounds. Wow! Couldn't tell you the last time that was the case. Certainly not while I've been with TMM. My BMI is 29.2 and I've only six pounds to lose to get into the ten stone bracket. It all still seems a bit too good to be true. But I ain't complaining. TMM weighed himself and I am now a full twenty pounds lighter than him. Of course, he's six foot tall, so I should be considerably lighter than him. But again, this is a bit of a first :-)

He's not working today, so we went out for brunch. A big fry up,

which I estimate at about 900 cals, which leaves me three hundred for a BNS soup that I'm going to make for tea. There'll be plenty left over to take a flask of it to work for lunch tomorrow. 

I didn't run either yesterday or today, so I'm really looking forward to doing a few km tomorrow morning. I want to earn the extra calories as well as get some exercise under my belt! I have been continuing my thirty day full body challenge though. Tomorrow I'm up to 

• 19 sit ups
• 24 crunches
• 8 leg raises
• 17 second plank
• 47 squats
• 43 second plank
• 10 push ups

It only takes a few minutes after my run, but it makes me feel as if I'm starting to work on some of my saggy bits. There's not a lot I can do about the loose skin, barring going under the knife, but I might as well do what I can to tone and strenghten the muscle beneath.
