The Scales of Obsession

"You do make me laugh."
"Erm...good. I guess. Erm...why?"

Conversations occasionally go this way with Wendy. I'm sometimes not sure what it is I've said that makes her laugh, but I'm quite happy to take it when it happens.

"You just loooooove weighing yourself," she explained.
"Nonsense, only the once a week. Well, three times, but..."
"Exxxxactly. Point to me, I think."

Rassen frassen grrrrr...

To be fair, the three weigh-ins were all done today - and in line with a precedent set last week. Weigh-in first thing in the morning, pre-walk, and pre-bathroom. Weigh-in post-walk and pre-bathroom, to discount the amount lost as water on a six mile walk from the equation. Then weigh-in post-bathroom to measure for...well, weight that isn't part of the equation any more either.

The first weigh-in of the day - the one I ended up using last week - showed me down my regulation 2lb this morning to: 18st 4.75. Happy to take that as my official weigh-in for the day. Just for the sake of completeness, though, and (cough) since I have the data, post-walk, pre-bathroom - 18st 2.5. Post-everything, 18st 2.

So now the disparity in the weigh-ins has a potential impact, in that it amounts to a week's worth of work (or, as my brain insists on thinking about it, a get-out clause), from beginning to end.

Lalalalalalalalala - not thinking about it that way, just continuing to do the good things, keeping the bad things to a minimum, and hoping for 2lb per week. So, on the record, next week I want to be 18st 2,75 BEFORE everything.

More home-made pasta tonight for dinner (other food - three Weetabix, semi-skimmed, three coffees, large, two slices toast with scrambled egg, two handfuls of assorted nuts throughout the day, four plums, one apple, one small pack of cashews and cranberries - 100 calories - so, quite a lot, but reasonable and spread throughout the day to keep the metabolism running).

Tomorrow, doing the walk again, then doing a Starbucks editing day. And so another week begins. So far, I've managed to keep on schedule for the first three weeks. This week, I might have more time on my hands, so might even start trying to work a walk and a bike session into each day...see what that does.
