Slowly slowly – that is what is happening. Off a bit on a bit but the trend is downwards so this is all good.

Why is the weight not just falling off? Well I get hungry on this diet. Then I snack. Only the foods I am “allowed” but too many almonds are too many almonds even if they are allowed. Recently I have discovered spiced dried peas. The spiciness means that I do not eat too many. The dried bit means that they are actually hard to eat and so take linger – and they get all over my hands so it is harder to snack and do things at the same time. Almonds are a much cleaner and easier food!

But weight wise what is happening? Tuesday I was 104 kg, Wednesday 103.8, Thursday 103.3 now today 103.6! I would like to think that is because I went to the gym last night and did a step class so the slight increase in weight is actually increase in muscle. Though yesterday I did eat more that I “should”.

It has gotten cold again here. We should not still be using lots of blankets on beds at the beginning of an Australian summer. So I think my feeling hungry may also be triggered a bit by the cold.  Cold is supposed to be good for weight loss but I’m not that fond of it.

They always say that you can do without one, but not two of: sleep, warmth or food and still function properly. By dieting I am down in the food department. Now I have been skimping on sleep as well to get a commission finished for one of our national institutions. It was a bit of a last minute thing and I do not have a lot of time to get a lot of things done so I have stayed up late. The things we do.
