Earthlady's Journal, 11 May 2012

A small loss despite indulging in a mini ice cream last night which put me over RDI. I must stick within RDI today. I love it this week that I'm under my 'feel thin' threshold of 58kg and I do feel slim and energetic. Those few hundred grams make such a difference - hold on to that feeling!

Marathon weekend coming up. I'm travelling about 100km tomorrow to conduct English speaking exams for children in the next city so I'll be on the road just after 6 am. Then on Sunday we are hosting the same exams in our own school so a different team of examiners will come in and our job will be to look after examiners, candidates and their parents and generally make sure the day runs smoothly.

Two long and full days so no plans for Mothers' Day although I'm hoping my family will take me out for dinner on Sunday at the end of my working weekend!

Still cloudy here and the low pressure system has almost everybody feeling lethargic and heady, lots of people complaining of tiredness and headaches this week. All the more reason to stick with optimum nutrition and eat as well as possible, as well as getting some fresh air and exercise. My exercise this week has been pretty much limited to walking home from the hospital after physio every day, not ideal, but all I could manage with the time constraints imposed by this workload. It's about 45 minutes' brisk walk and includes some hills so not too bad.

127.0 lb Lost so far: 9.7 lb.    Still to go: 1.3 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
