It is the middle of the third week. My total weight is back to where I started two and a half weeks ago. This trend has not happened before: not when I first started slow-carb in March 2011; and not after my hold towards the end of 2011.


At least the lard chart shows the kind of steep downward trend I am after. It is keeping me going! Despite being demoralised at the start of the week with the enourmous total weight, I have stuck rigidly to the rules this week. In fact the enourmous weight can mostly be attributed to the delicious stew I had on Sunday and Monday evenings. Nothing wrong with the stew, but it just weighs a lot. And especially when I gorge on it!

I like Indian lime pickle on my beans at lunch time. There's not much pickle (it's very intense!), but carbs all the same. I will avoid it once the jar is finished (tomorrow) and see what effact that has.

Another factor this week is that I was a bit under the weather from Monday to Wednesday and so did not do a run or gym. The 'run' on Monday was just a stroll round the course. I just couldn't get any go in my legs, nor any air into my lungs.

So what will the scales hold in the morning? I am counting on a sub 85kg result.
