Ahhh yeah!
My scales resolutely stayed under my goal weight by half a pound this morning so I guess we can call that a successful week.
I think I can attribute the excellent loss to having finally struck the right balance with my net calorie goal for the day (1800kcal plus burnt calories from exercise). I realise now I was actually under-eating (base of 1400kcal plus burnt by exercise) which is what slowed me down, I’m actually now at the point where I can eat pretty much normally (i.e. no foods a sin with the right portioning) and my increased activity will keep the weight loss coming.
In other news the snow gods were kind today and the roads were nice and clear (even if the pavements were still mucho treacherous, sucks to be a pedestrian I guess) so the ride in was fine apart from the evil headwind that seems to oppose me no matter which direction I travel in. Am making the most of the careful driving as people adjust to the conditions because I know that the bad driving will ramp up again once people get used to the snow and start making things more dangerous again, so far people are behaving themselves pretty well though.
