Bloggers Christmas slimming club - Another 1lb gone!


Well I haven't really been weighing myself much recently, I've not been paying attention to the numbers which possibly explains why I didn't realise that MFP was a bit off when I posted this, I'd only lost a lb but hadn't noticed the badge had knocked down two, now I've logged it again yesterday and only then realise what had happened before so my counter hasn't changed as it was already representing my current weight two weeks ago, I obviously have an ultra optimistic counter! Still, I will post my counter again:


So another lb lost, not an exciting amount but it is an amount and it is going in the right direction. So what am I doing? nothing Keeping my calories not too high and not too low, generally around 1800, a few days I may go over but I don't get upset and try to counterbalance as it as I never do when I'm a few calories under. I still wish I could magically lose it all but magic isn't real and to keep it off this time I need to go slowly instead spiralling from one eating disorder to another.

The one thing working in my favour is slowly getting back to normal, today is my first full week back at work and I'm already exhausted but that's kind of nice. I can do a lot of walking at work and one thing I missed about exercise (one of many) is that physical tiredness at the end of the day, it really helps me sleep.

So what next? I'll just carry on, I want to try and eat a little healthier and get back to more cooking in the evening but I won't be reducing calories or avoiding treats, just a little less treats and a few more lentils.

One thing I do plan to do is get new scales, my scales are slightly off but until I reach my current goal I'm not going to bother replacing them as it would feel like I've gone a few lbs the other way even though that isn't really true. I've actually lost more weight than I thought, my doctor weighed me the other day and I've actually lost 7lbs since this summer so as long as I'm going the right way I'll do my best to sit on my hands and not rush anything.

    Thanks for linking up Sharon, you're doing fantastic. Just google what a pound of fat looks like! 7lbs since summer is better than I've done, I keep losing and gaining the same few pounds. I hope your first full week at work goes smoothly. xx

      Thanks dear! Gross but it is amazing, it feels like nothing doesn't it? but it is quite a lot, just 5lbs look like an unimaginable amount. I'd be happier losing a lb a week but really as long as it keeps coming off I should take whatever amount! I'm exhausted already and really sore still from being examined on Monday but I'm over the hump so that's good! xx

      Good luck tonight! It will make such a big difference when you're back at work, I find myself so busy I rarely think about food but when I'm stuck at home I tend to snack more and I actually eat less fruit when I'm at home! xx
