I weighed in on 6th March 61.3 at this gym thing not caring about losing weight, the idea being to stop myself from spiralling into depression now that both the girls were at school, mainly, with a bonus side dish of improving fitness so that if they (Bella) asked me to walk Mally or jump on the trampoline, I'd be able to without puffing like a steam train. Gaining strength, building some muscle was an additional bonus since I've never been very strong, particularly upper body. The theory is macros with carbs in the morning, fats even keel and protein based at night. So I probably took it a little too number fanatically as I'm liable to do. First weigh in, 16th March, down 1.7kg. 59.6kg. And I'm pleased, it's true, not because of the amount but because it crashed the barrier and more than that, I'm out of that stoopid two kilo range that I've been in since I came out of hospital in 2013. I made my peace with it, don't get me wrong, that if I wanted to be well, I had to take that combo of meds, and I have, and I've accepted my weight will just stay where it is... But I've been working hard, five days a week, and it's nice to see it paying off. It's nice to see it's not in vain. It sucks that it takes this much effort to "overcome" the meds, but fat is converting to muscle and I can breathe a bit easier, bonus. I actually had to run for a show at the arena with Bella on the weekend, and I could run. I can't tell you the last time I could do that. Like ok it wasn't running but y'know a jog without gasping. That's cool.
