Phew! Down 2.4lbs on last week. So that's the gain gone, with just over a pound extra. Meaning I'm 2.2lbs away from my goal. Once there, I'm not sure what I'll do. I don't look as slim in photos as I do in my head, or indeed in comparison to what I think I see in the mirror. I can see me not being happy to stay at ten stone thirteen. But I'll get there first and see.
It's been hard to stay away from the cheese and crackers in the house the last few days. Sticking to 1200 cals hasn't been easy. I haven't had a run since Tuesday. My achilles is feeling much better but I haven't earned many extra calories. I'm going to go for a run in the morning before work. I'll take it easy, just pootle for 5k, which should earn about 400 cals. I'll feel better about my efforts when I get that under my belt. My thirty day challenge went to the wall after day 25. Just five more days would have completed it. But I've gained some core strength, so I'll build on that.
One week to Christmas. I weigh in on Christmas morning, since it's a Sunday this year. Then it's over to a day of excess. One day. I'm going to allow myself a day full of cheese, chocolate, condiments and stuffed meats. Then the following day, I intend to be back on it with zeal, starting with a Boxing Day swim in the sea at Donaghadee, with a group called the Chunky Dunkers. Sounds nuts, but I'll give it a go.
