Heh.
Changing habits and starting weight loss has solved one medical problem but revealed a more serious one. This gives me very high motivation to stay the course.

Weird week weight wise. Felt skinny on Thurs, then ballooned up over the weekend (curiosity evening weigh in put me back over 11st). Put in the work and weighed in this morning at 10st10.2lb. I'm not going to believe that I legitimately put on 2lbs and lost 4lbs of fat over the course of a week, so a good illustration of why you shouldn't weigh yourself every day!

Extra water drinking due to hot weather?
Mrs M tried to get me to eat free cake at Costa. I was strong and said no. Also there was birthday cake at home. But at least I didn't have both, right?

Ah, loyalty cards... Don't really have many of those. Mostly because I chose my loyalties very, very carefully...

I have been very good at avoiding cake of late. Some slight reduction in the spare tire.

I'm very loyal to Costa. Bring your own cup and every sixth coffee is free. That's a pretty good incentive given a large cappuccino is four quid these days.

Away last week. After a week of eating out and snacks, it was with some trepidation that I stepped on the scales this morning. However, couple that with a couple of hotel gym visits (little cardio, yoga and weights on both sessions), some amount of walking and pool time seems to have kept the weight off.
10st8.6lb
Caveat though, I had been taking creatine prior to going away. Taking a break will have led to some level of water loss. As I get back to supplementing my training, this may put some weight back on for next week.

Will skip the Wednesday weigh in this week. Bout of food poisoning got me dehydrated and didn't eat much for two days so makes no sense to track it.

Yeah man. Sugar is killer. I'm fine once I go cold turkey for a few weeks, but get me back on it and tough to kick the cravings.

My holiday has set me back massively. Hoping it will come down quickly now back on the regular diet but depressing to see all this years work undone in such a short period. Thought I'd been pretty good too |

10st7.0lb
Was down to 10st4.4lb due to aforementioned sickness, glad I returned to normal.
Have been taking a break from exercise, but back at it this week, reintroducing weights again now but will be lifting lighter due to golfer's elbow I've had for a fair few months. I'd hoped focusing on cardio during the summer would have given me time to heal, but it's still present. Will be skipping face pulls and taking it easy on chest press as these seem to exacerbate it (not the press itself but getting the dumbbell in position, maybe I'll switch to barbell instead). Also dropping down in weight with more reps and changing form slightly for lat shoulder raises.
I always had ten and a half stone in my head as a target. Now I'm here, I kinda want to get to 10st3lb to say I've lost a stone.

Still trying here! No success but I feel better for having reduced my intake of sugar/proceased foods.

That's what I keep telling myself even if the weight isn't coming down. I'm smashing the recommended 5-a-day veg/fruit target and not eating as much processed foods which can only be good right?

As long as your cholesterol and insulin levels are fine, you feel good in yourself and don't get out of breath doing basic physical activity, probably doesn't matter if you're carrying a little extra.

In hospital for a minor op this afternoon. Was weighed. The hospital scales added a few more kgs to me than the ones at home. Bah.
