The start of the week

In the last couple of weeks, since my weight has begun to start with an "eleven", I haven't really taken time to stop and smell the roses, to appreciate that my weight starts with an eleven. Seriously. Eleven stone eleven and a half pounds is what I weighed at weigh in yesterday. My weight starts with an eleven!

Yesterday was a tough day, food wise. I spent a lot of it hungry. I don't know why. I think I spent my calories unwisely earlier on. I waited till TMM got up before I ate. I wasn't sure if we were going to go out for breakfast but we decided to save money and calories by eating in. I had a pack of ASDA mango. But as always, I ate the whole 300g. Then I had 60g of cheddar and eight crackerbread.  It all came to nearly 600 cals. TMM made chicken, potatoes and greens for dinner, with gravy. That was about 850 cals. Thankfully, we'd walked to the sports shop, so I earned about 300 cals and that covered what would have otherwise been a deficit.

At the shop, I was there to look for a new sports bra. I also wanted one more pair of three quarter length running tights. I got rid of any running gear that was too big or too grotty. I also need to get rid of the capri running leggings that I have at Mum's coz they're big enough now for me to be conscious of them and uncomfortable in them as we walk. So in all, my sports gear is a bit depleted. I got a great Shock Absorber bra in a lovely bright colour and a size or two smaller, as well as one very bright pair of three quarter length leggings. I couldn't wait to wear them this morning, on my next run.
Gratuitous sports bra shot! Obviously I didn't run like this. Never mind modesty, it was too cold. But it looked great with the new UnderArmour top that TMM bought me. 

I'm going to try very hard to do well this week. I only have four and a half pounds to lose to hit 100 pounds and twelve to go to get just under eleven stone. God, it's really all to play for! I'm pleased that despite feeling a bit hungry, I managed to stay on track yesterday.
