There’s a slightly worrying trend developing in this
Disappearance. Started off with the six pound bump, then two or three weeks of
a steady two pound drop. Last week, I was down a pound and a half, and today,
down a pound and a quarter, to 18st 1.5.
Now as I said last week, there’s bound to be a bit of a
palaver when you measure pre-bathroom in the morning, as your weekly result
then depends on whether you have a big meal the night before or not. As it
happens, I didn’t last night – steak, with a tiny bit of pasta, followed by
fruit. And of course, yadda yadda, still going in the right direction etc. But
that can’t continue – this gradual breaking force will begin to have a real
effect next week, because next week, according to my adjusted first week
forecast, I’m due to see a 17 in the stones column, and if the braking force
continues, I won’t see that at all. Time to really kick some stuff up a notch.
Walking and biking, or walking and gymming. Something, anyhow, to take
the metabolism by surprise again, stop it settling and getting used to the
dietary regime. Something to make it do my bidding, bwahahahahaaaa!
Looking at things with a more “Starbucks mug half full”
viewpoint of course, this is the first time I’ve seen a 1 in the pounds column
in a long while – I actually went from 19st 2 to 18st some-odd, missing out the
1 entirely. Seeing a 1 is always a bit weird – you get the thrill of being
close to a border, then the moderate deflation of being only close to the border.
I know, I know, doesn’t sound like a
mug hall full philosophy but if you’re going to be a Disappearer, it doesn’t do
to get too content with anything, however much it pushes you closer to your
goal. But still, despite the braking force and the need to double down to get
over the borderline, I’m quite happy with the result today. No walking today –
needed to focus on the editing for a solid day – and no walking tomorrow
either, as I’m on an UberCommute. But Thursday, dammit, doubling down and
cracking on.
