Earthlady's Journal, 31 December 2011

Exactly the same as last week! I know I'm doing everything right so the weight must go eventually. On the plus side, there's a loss on the tape measure.





Later - with guests (sister-in-law & family) staying at MiL just up the road, I hope I'm not going to be too calorie-challenged this weekend because I won't have to cook at home. I've just come back from there where I've had a second breakfast which will count as my lunch. I now have about 800 cal in hand for dinner out this evening unless I feel the need for a fruit or nut snack before then (it's still quite early). I had in mind that today would be a bit of an indulgence anyway and I think I can splurge on 500 cal over RDI and make it up 100 cal per day during the week.

Exercise is a funny thing. Increased muscle mass apparently increases metabolism but also weighs more than fat - are both those statements true? As Kingkeld says, the loss on the tape measure shows that there is clearly a fat loss (at least I think that's what he says).

I'm looking forward to this evening - we'll have everybody here to exchange gifts and have pre-dinner drinks, then go out to the restaurant where there'll be about 10 of us, family and friends. There will be music and dancing, turkey dinner and hopefully some surprises. I can't decide whether to wear a lbd or new greenish jeans and a gold top - we'll see.

Just because we don't lose weight doesn't mean we don't lose fat. Like you say, there is a loss in inches. It's as good as anything. The weight will give.
