Happy St George's Day!!



Old scales = 147.5lb = ATW challenge weight
New scales = 148.8lb

Recorded weight = 90%x147.5 + 10%x148.8 = 147.6 (rounded to nearest 0.1) =>official weight = -1.5lb

YAY - just another 0.6lb to get down to my next mini goal on 10.5 stone!!

Although yesterday was a low (1,200) calorie day, it was much easier than Monday, because I was back in the office and so kept very busy all day. I've been trying the new Slim Fast "Hunger Shots", which are little 54 cal yogurt/fibre drinks (like Actimels) and are supposed to help fill you up between meals. I can't say having one did the trick on Monday afternoon, when I was suffering from an acute case of the munchies, but they did appear to fill a gap yesterday morning.

Being back in the office and on a low cal day, I took it a little easier on the exercise front, but it was a beautiful day, so I got out for a 20 minute walk at lunchtime as well as doing a double Dyna-Band workout in the evening (which included the dreaded cardio routine)!

I've got the day off today, but my little boy is going into his new nursery for a settling in session for a couple of hours this morning, so I'm going to go to the gym for a bonus workout - hoorah!! :)

147.6 lb Lost so far: 62.4 lb.    Still to go: 7.6 lb.    Diet followed 100%.
