Thoughts and Feelings

* I found myself looking forward to lunch today but not for food, for exercise!. A brewing cold made me feel pretty rubbish this morning. My normal recourse would have been to sweets or crisps but instead I found myself wanting to get out and walk.

* Dinner at Granny's today, so presents the challenge of not being in control of my own dinner plans. I gave instructions that, whatever we had, I wanted extra veg and less carbs, which Granny kindly accomodated.

* Declines - biscuits, ice cream, extra sausages!

* I am beginning to doubt the last two weigh ins and am trying to resist the temptation to weigh in again. Going from 12st 4lbs to 11st 11lbs in a week seems ridiculously unlikely and it makes me feel like I did it wrong and that the result is invalid. I have little doubt the starting weight was right. I felt heavy and based on prior experience, that weight felt accurate. I am doubting the 11st 11lbs, despite recording it twice.

* I think it stems from the fact that I don't feel any different. Yes, I can notice a slight reduction in the spare tyre but the excess flab is still noticeable around my moobs, stomach and legs. It just doesn't seem right.

* I am going to resist though. The doubt is borne out of an innate lack of self confidence, to the point that I doubt an independently generated result on the basis that I am the one who instigated its generation. Mindfulness tells me to simply live in the now. I will weigh myself on Monday, not before.
