Day 42 – Week 7

184 pounds (13st 2lbs) 1 pound lost

Over the weekend my weight was up, down – all over the place! How could I weigh THAT much?

This morning was therefore scary as I stepped nervously on to the scales. The relief was obvious as I weighed in at 13st 2pounds. A total loss of 14 pounds (1 stone) since I began. Saturday night we celebrated our anniversary by sharing a bottle of champagne – my first booze since New Year’s Eve. I’m now a cheap date! A joint celebration really – for losing all that weight too.

Another 16 pounds to go though.

And this week will be a challenge I suspect. I shall be staying at an hotel in Amsterdam – no doubt I’ll be surrounded by biscuits where ever I am, chocolates on my pillow and all that malarkey. Gala dinners invariably have all the stuff that’s not good for me.

One thing I have realized recently is that my weight loss has begun to slow down – time to crank up the exercise to the next level I suppose. The rowing machine is proving a valuable addition to the cross-trainer. I would not have thought it possible to do as much on the rowing machine as I have been.

Yesterday we headed out for a walk, but in the end merely strolled around Bibury, East of Cirencester in the beautiful sunshine – didn’t break out into a sweat so it can’t really qualify as a ‘walk’. But it was a stunning day.
