On the scales this morning: 11 stone 0 and a quarter pounds. Delta from last week: 3 and a quarter pounds. Total weight loss to date: 50 pounds.
Yes, I've hit the big 5 0! 50 lbs lighter than when I started this diet 127 days ago. It's made a huge difference, I feel better, look better, have more energy, and can even put my docks on without running out of breath!
Only 10.25 lbs to go.
I'm actually a little disappointed, last night I'd hit 10 st 13.75 after my run, and really wanted to hold onto that number for today, but replacing lost fluid pushed my weight up by 2 lbs before bed, and I guess I just didn't breathe heavily enough!
It's been a variable week on the old diet, I've run a marathon distance this week, with an 8.5 mile finale last night, but I've also eaten variable amounts of transgression fodder! There's been a chicken burger (and some chips) at Legoland, a smoked paprika chicken breast (and some chips) at a family meal out, and a Thai meal (with rice). Even a home-made, Dukan friendly curry had the addition of 2 small Naan breads!
Overall I feel positive about things, weight is continuing to head in the right direction. I should hit 10 st x tomorrow (or the next day at the latest), the remaining weight will fall into single digits at the same time. Whilst it would have been nice to lose 4 lbs this week, 3.25 ain't bad. Especially at this stage of the diet where weight loss is always going to slow down as there is less fat to lose. I'm worried about the amount of exercise. Last night was one step too far really; I set off too late, ran too far, and was too cold by the time I'd finished. I felt really quite dreadful before I went to bed. As the clocks go back this weekend, it's definitely time to draw the runs in, and if I can't start early enough, then they can't be done at all. Guess I'll have to hit the gym more (urgh)
Right then, no more obvious transgressions in the near future (I'm immune to Hallowe'en, honest), time to get that final large number. 10 st x, here I come!
