January 11th

Although I've decided to only weigh in formally once a week, and to have fortnightly goals, I did pop on the scale today, and everything's paying off - I've lost 4.4k since the first of January! And yes, I'm well aware that it's mostly water, but I'm still pleased.
After yesterday's day of slackness I got straight out of bed this morning and, after a cup of green tea and a few sultanas, went straight into the Michelle Bridges Super Circuit DVD - all the residual pec soreness from my last circuit was gone, and I managed to keep up with everything except a couple of crunches. I was running late for the hairdresser so I alternated running (or very slow jogging, to be more accurate) 50 steps for every 100 I walked. I walked back, then to and from another appointment, for a total of 75 minutes of sustained (ie greater than 10 minutes) walking at or above 5k/hr, 7 minutes of jogging, and 25 minutes of circuit training.
Breakfast was skim milk and water porridge with regular oats and some beta glucan-rich barley and oats, a couple of mashed brazil nuts, some dates, chia and linseed, topped with hot berries. I had a late lunch, that was a redux of yesterday, and dinner was kick start soup with (because I'm not kick starting) a multigrain muffin, followed by a kiwi fruit and a couple of pieces of dark chocolate. For snacks I had an apple and one of Aldi's Yakault equivalents.
I was at Priceline this afternoon, and though I didn't find what I was looking for (some kind of product to protect my hair from chlorine), I did manage to buy a whole lot of other essential beauty products, for my face and skin. I also bought a thigh toner (review to follow) and a BMI analyser. I'm sure it's not clinical accurate, but I'm interested to see how my figures change in the months ahead. My BMI is now 36.8 (from a starting point of 43.4 back in October 2010), and I got three relatively close fat percentages on three readings, that averaged at 38.5%.
I'm feeling positive and only a little hungry, and quite getting used to the latter sensation. I'm well aware that I've been here before, many times, but I feel confident about finally breaking through the psychological impediment that always has me retreat into calories and weight regain whenever I drop under 100k. The next month or so will see - my aim is to be under 98k by the end of the month (that's a 2.3k loss over twenty days, or just shy of 800g a week), and under 95 by the end of February.
Next week marks the beginning of my dropping down to part time and I'm really looking forward to having the extra time off. I am, of course, going to be spending time working on the campaign, but that's not going to take anything like 40 hours a week - at least some of that time will be devoted to lifestyle change, and I'm also going to get caught up on all my overdue projects - like sorting through papers, filing back tax returns, and transcribing interviews for uni. Oh, and getting my driving license. I'm very much looking forward to the year ahead - Alex
