Things I learned this week...
- fatter
After 4 weeks, the big thing that I have realised is that I was much fatter than I imagined at the start. Also I took some new photos. I am still fatter in photos that I imagine! The harsh lights in my bathroom are much less flattering than the perfect lights in my mind...
- notice
Not one person has commented on my weight loss. I move in manly circles (!) so perhaps this is not unusual, but it does make me wonder if the loss is all in my mind. Luckily I can refer to my total inches, total weight and % lard numbers.
- stop
I wonder when I will stop this diet. I am thinking that I will remain on a modified version now for the foreseeable future. The first target has been hit (19% fat) and I really think that I can hit the second (15% fat), which is a level I would be happy to maintain.
- routine
Once I am not at work, things are much more difficult: Easter weekend, work trips. Luckily I don't get out much.
- myself
Even though I am aware that I am pretty much talking to myself here, this blog really keeps me on track. I do not want to see a big bump on my graph, or an entry saying I was weak and scoffed something I shouldn't. The mental side of a diet is interesting. It is more than half the battle.
