Week 3

Kept on the straight and narrow for the third week.

I have four routes into work. Straight road, which is 1 mile, short route at 1.7 miles and middle route at 2.2 miles. Then there is my new long route at 3 miles, which I did twice last week including Friday where I got soaked in the rain. It was dry when I set off, and I was wet by the time I got to the point where I could divert onto the middle route – so took the view that I couldn’t get any wetter and plodded on. In total I clocked up 34.1 miles this week.

Kept to my daily points allowance (now reduced to 28) during the week but slipped on Friday 35, Saturday 36 and Sunday 43. Of the 42 weekly points I started the week with, which grew to 58 points due to not eating too much Monday – Thursday, I had 28 unused by the end – so all-in-all not a bad week on the food consumption, considering we had sweet treats for a 40^th birthday in the office mid-week and a stack of Samosas delivered as one of our designers was leaving on Friday – I managed to avoid both.

At the end of week three I weighed in this morning at 15st 7lb. 15lb lost in three weeks, currently averaging about 8 oz per day. If we can keep that going, should be able to jettison the remaining 35lbs to reach my target in 70 days, just in time for Christmas!! I am sure there will be dark days ahead however, so I wouldn’t bank on it.
