Weighed today, for no good reason, but I was glad I did. 168.65 lbs, which means I'm about exactly 12 stone, and I've lost just under 15lbs. Just over a stone gone! Woot.

Given I decided about 30lbs gone was my goal, then that's around half way, though who knows, I may continue on if I can.

I'm now comfy in a size 16 trousers, so another 15lbs should put me in size 14 trousers. Another 15 after that and size 12 trousers? Can I actually do that? Well, never mind that. Next goal is size 14 trousers and skirts.

Just checking the figures and to get to a...

4.18 lbs gone for the scale free month.

I'll weigh once a week now, as I move up the OWL ladder and I'm determined to get the exercise going.

This week I'm experimenting with: hearty breakfast, medium lunch and smallish dinner. See how that goes.

I went very wobbly last night. Probably time of the month, but I really wanted some sweets! I nearly caved and made porridge, with sweetner in. But I stayed strong. I may have gone a bit over my carbs for the day, because I had some walnuts and then some sunflower seeds. But at least that's good stuff, not sweets. Blackcurrent tea helped too.

Must be alert to attempts to sabotage myself, as I come up to the last full week before April 1 weigh in. I know I've shrunk this month, clothes fit better. But I can't let the sugar demon inside me try to sabotage my efforts by making the...

I've got a strain in my calf again! Dammit. It doesn't feel as bad as the one that put me out of action excersise wise for the whole of January, but I'm not risking aggravating it. It's my own fault, I haven't been warming up properly before working on the stepper.

Did all my food prep for the week yesterday & saturday, so that's sorted.

Dad is up for party conference later this week! So I'll go out to dinner with him on Friday, so that's either going to be a planned off plan, or a big test!

I'm staying off the scale until April 1st.

Meal plan is made for next week. Having a change from quiche for breakfast, and having bacon and eggs or One Minute Muffin with an egg or cream cheese.

Cream cheese and a little hard cheese will be the only dairy I have in the house next week. I'll allow myself cream if I have a coffee in Starbucks.

Salty foods at minimal too. Bacon three times in the week. Stock cubes, 1 used only, for my beef stew. Otherwise none.

I have a good mix of beef, pork, chicken and salmon for protein, and eggs of...
