Weigh-in this week: 85.3kgs
Down over 2kgs! Very happy with my progress although not very happy with the super expensive scales that gave me 3 different readings - I got on and off 5 times. It seems to change depending on my posture/centre of gravity. I got 85.4, 85.2, and 85.3, so I'm just splitting the difference.
I did two fast days in a row this week which I'm not anxious to repeat. In fact I struggled a bit on day 2 and ended up at 585 calories, but I'm not going to worry about that. Planning another fast day tomorrow as I'll be on a plane most of the day. I'm actually being very organised and making some pumpkin falafel that I'll take with me to eat instead of plane food.
We packed off our dog to holiday camp (ie boarding kennels) this morning and he seemed thrilled to bits to leave us, which made me almost jealous! Although obviously I'm very happy he enjoys it there. I'm very needy when it comes to animal affection though - I adore animals and as is always the way, I'm never the one they seem to cling to - our dog loves H the most by far, even though I'm spending all day every day with him, taking him on walks etc. My family cat pesters my mother for all his basic needs, wakes her up at 5am to be fed, and then goes back to bed and snuggles up against my oblivious dad. You do have to play hard to get with animals I feel.
This morning unencumbered by dog walking duties I did a bit of a wardrobe clean out - or started it anyway. Got rid of a whole bunch of stuff to donate and also put into storage some of the too small clothes that were sitting there accusingly in my cupboard. I feel much better about the idea that they're tucked out of sight. I'll try to do the rest this afternoon after my falafel making venture, although I also have to pack, since we leave early tomorrow and tonight I'm off to see David Sedaris! Very excited about that. He's doing a book signing after his show but I don't think I'll stay for that - mainly just because of the time it would take, but I also feel like I wouldn't know what to do if I actually met a celebrity in the flesh. I can't understand those people who chase them down for photos to be honest - how awkward.
Anyway, It's been a good week overall so far and I'm feeling positive. Let's hope I can ride this wave of happiness for a while!

Well done 2kgs!! Hope you're enjoying a lovely hols too.
ReplyDeleteYou would love our dogs, they are big on snuggling and swap between us equably. They do want to sleep around 9pm though and sneak away but plenty of tummy rubs until then!!
