another nine months on

It is 18 months since the start of my 4 hour body change of diet (I am not on a diet, I have changed my diet). It was going well until May.

For whatever reason, I lost my way. The key problem was that I stopped weighing myself in the morning. I was relying on visual clues. It is now obvious how easily that I can convince myself that all is still on track when using such indicators...

Anyway, it wasn't so bad until July & August. In July I was away for a week with my friends mountain biking. Whilst this involves a lot of physical effort, it also involves a lot of stodgy food (tartiflette, chips, chocolate); and a lot of beer. Then, in August, my parents were here for a couple of weeks, which meant eating out and social drinking. And finally, at the end of August, a family holiday in the south of France, with the obvious food & drink attractions!

The result is that on return from my hols, my first Monday morning showed a weight of 86.8kg. What more motivation do I need to kick-start my monitoring and get back on track..?
