January 13th

Another illicitly early weigh in and I'm still on track - I've lost 5.1k since January 1st and will do an official weigh in and measure when I get up on Sunday. I started the day with 10 Minute Solution, which has five ten-minute sections on each of boot camp, pilates, ballet, kick boxing and yoga - I like the combinations, particularly the end-of-workout stretching if played in order, but my ab strength is woeful and much of the Pilates section is still wholly aspirational. I plan to do this DVD weekly, though, and be able to see gains.
I planned to walk half the way home from work, but my new work shoes rubbed a blister on to the back of my heel and, despite early intervention in the form of an adhesive barrier, I just couldn't manage more than 15 minutes, at a far slower than average maybe 4k/hour pace.
I had green tea, sultanas, dates, prunes and brazil nuts (225g) before my workout; breakfast was cereal and milk, and I had the last bottle of Nudie juice as a snack. Lunch was the last of the kick start soup, a multigrain muffin (with a little butter), and an apple for dessert.
I made a lasagna-like pasta bake for work over the next three nights - a steamed and mashed sweet potato base, a layer of wholegrain spirals, spinach with reduced far cheddar and low-fat ricotta, another layer of spirals, and a homemade tomato and onion sauce, baked in the oven. I'd like to try it again with tofu instead of cheese next month, when I take the vegan route, as this was a little higher in fat than I'd like. On the other hand, my fat intake this week has averaged out at 34g/day, 9g saturated, well under the maximum recommendations of 70g and 24g respectively. Thanks to Calorie King's stats tools I also know my sodium intake's about 1400mg/day, and my potassium intake's higher (which is an aim, and almost certainly down to the banana in the smoothies).
I woke early, so by the time I got home I'd been up for over twenty hours, which might explain why, as I waned a little around 4AM, I had two Cadbury snow bites. I doubt the 20 calories made a big difference but need to be vigilant, because this is how it starts - a little treat here, an illicit indulgence there, and I'm back off track. Not this time! - Alex
