Today's reflections

 I went out shopping this evening, as I was aware that it was late night shopping and bought some household items.  These included a very cheap set of mechanical bathroom scales as the other electronic set have gone back to their owner.  Standing on them this evening, I registered as 12 stone 10 pounds again, but I normally weigh myself in the morning and naked, so I'll do that tomorrow morning and post what they say.  I'm aware that mechanical (spring) scales are not likely to be terrifically accurate or well calibrated, but at least on a tiled floor in the bathroom, in the same place each time, they will give me a good indication of the trend of my weight. When I get home in October, I can double check on my electronic scales.

I've been eating carefully - several variations on salad, a chicken and cashew nut stirfry, wholemeal toast or sandwiches, containing Vegemite, ham or peanut butter.  I've had plenty of fruit too.  I have not got any cake or chocolates in my cupboards at all!  I still haven't done any major exercise, but I'm going to try and phase that in gradually.
