Start of week 2

[discodoris]

Well, it's not been a bad week for weightloss, bearing in mind that much of what is lost in the first week is just stored glycogen and associated water.  I'm down to 169 lbs, so that's 6lb gone.  I would hope that there's about 1.5 lb of fat included in that total.  I've managed to keep my Calorie intake to between 1200 and 1600 each day, although with working on the house for selling purposes, studying hard to both complete an assignment and for an upcoming examination on the 24th of April and full-time work, there hasn't been much opportunity for exercise.  That will have to come a little later - the study has to take precedence for the time being.  For completeness, I'm studying for this qualification, if you are interested.

Anyway, I'm very happy with the weightloss figure, it's a nice start.  I haven't been too precious, there have been occasional chocolate biscuits and a small portion of tiramisu icecream included during the week, enough to treat myself without feeling like I'm cheating.  Talking of which, it's breakfast time - I can recommend Ryvita goodness bars if you need something that's very portable, nutritious and satisfying, as well as very tasty!  I have a mixed berry variety and some coffee to start my day.

Onwards and upwards (or in this case, onwards and downwards)!
