Midweek update.
Walked to work this morning and had a couple of slices of brown toast for breakfast with a glass of orange juice. I've got about 4 boxes of steel cut oats at home, though in the last few weeks I've only really managed to have that for breakfast on saturdays and sundays, I just love my bed too much to get up on workdays half an hour earlier than normal to cook the damn things! Perhaps that's a seperate 'regime' I can work on in time, because 40g of those cooked up with a little milk and sliced fruit is really filling.
I've been paid now so no excuse for not getting to the gym this week. The 3 miles I'm walking each day now are a doddle and I think walking to and from the gym, which will increase my footfall to about 6 miles on days I do go, is not far off. I'm about 15lbs down on where I was this time last month and I think I feel better for it, I certainly seem to have 'broken' the cravings for chocolates and crisps and can pass them up with ease now, still working on the fizzy drinks but can't 'cold turkey' on everything I loved all at once eh.
I've made a little spreadsheet which I can update at work, it charts out my targets of 2lbs per week from 320 to 220 across the next year, and automatically converts the lb weight I put in each week to stones and KG, showing the % and number change against my target and highlighting when I reach/leave different BMI definitions of obesity/overweight. I have a printed copy up on my desk and stuck to my fridge at home and find it quite motivating! Hopefully, at the end of this journey it will enable me to produce some pretty graphs alongside my before and after pics, hehe.

I'd never have passed that up before! hehe
