Day 8 - phoenix

Weighed in and measured this morning, earlier than I wanted to by a couple of hours but necessary as I was so thirsty.

129.0. Waist = 26 ins (no change, it's like that when I first wake up), hips = 37ins still, chest = 33ins. Can someone holler "pearshape"?

At least it's not a gain. But seriously, less than half a fucking pound? That could just be water weight I didn't have from last week! Admittedly, yesterday was not great - I realised I'd forgotten to add on a couple of mini cupcake frostings which we'll assume was 200 and then late at night I had with my friend a LOT of carrots, which would have been fine but we had this amazing chilli houmous from Tesco as well, so that pushes it up to at least 2000 for yesterday which is an obscene number of calories. The carrots alone would add fibre weight today. I walked in heels a lot, but that in no way balances it out. So I suppose I've had my worst two days of the week being closest to the end.

These are just excuses. Or rather, reasons. My weight should have been able to cope with that though and I should be less. If you look at my total cals for the week, it's approx 9616 (round up to 10,000) which isn't huge, despite looking it.


SO since my body clearly accepts 1600 calories, I shall reduce this to 1400 this week, and then keep it at 1200 max (where I lost weight slowly but surely last time).

Weekly aims
- Daily cals to not exceed 1400.
- Do not eat around 4pm when you get really hungry. Drink a lot of water at this time and maybe have some caffeine.
- Smaller breakfast of 150 max.
- No binging.
- Exercise - 3 times, with additional walking, preferably get off the tube a stop early.
- When baking (if baking) less sampling.


To end on a positive note, I did not weigh in before today, so I've succeeded in one aspect, by not weighing myself the whole week! I want to do this again. Definitely wouldn't have managed it without this blog.
