Despite my good intentions, I was expecting this week to be a disaster. It's been totally manic so eating healthily has been the last thing on my mind, especially with parent-teacher evenings on Tuesday and Thursday nights meaning I got home at 8.45pm and then 9.45pm. Luckily I had some leftover soup awaiting me on Tuesday (courtesy of Madhouse Daddy Mike) and my slow-cooker had a healthy meal ready and waiting on Thursday.
My mp3 player ran out of juice mid-week and I haven't had a chance to look for the cable to recharge it yet so I haven't been listening to the SlimPod much this week. My SlimPod journal ground to a halt too through lack of time and general zombie-ness due to tiredness so I wasn't expecting much.
It was therefore a lovely surprise to jump on the scales and see - woohoo - a seven - at last ! 79.4kg, but the first figure was the most important psychologically. First of my new targets reached ! Ooh more good news - as I updated my weight tracker on WeightWatchers, a pop-up informed me I've lost my first 7lbs since starting with them and gave me a big silver star. A dancing silver star at that ! How ridiculous that this makes me feel incredibly smiley !! Ooh my MyFitnessPal badges are joining in the general mood of celebration and boosting my confidence even more too - I've lost precisely 12.5kg so they've clicked over to showing 13kg lost ! :) Good day all round today !
Right, my next short-term goal - get to the point where my "**lbs to go" is lower than my "**lbs lost". Not far to go now so hopefully it'll only take me a couple more weeks ...
START WEIGHT : 91.9kg
TARGET WEIGHT : 66kg
WEIGHT LAST WEEK : 80.1kg
WEIGHT TODAY : 79.4kg
WEIGHT LOST SO FAR : 12.5kg
STILL TO GO : 13.4kg
