I've spent the last few days getting my house ready for the year of lightness - clearing out my pantry, throwing out expired staples, taking all my tempting Foods of Evil to work, and doing a mini-stocktake of what I've got. Entirely too much, it turns out - I won't need to buy pasta for quite some time, I'm very well off for legumes (druied and tinned), and for some reason have six tins of tomatoes. I also had four packets of custard powder (two vanilla, two chocolate) but they're now in the bin.
I've not been feeling particularly hungry, and have been a little guided by that - I only had a couple of prunes, a few dates and a couple of brazil nuts for breakfast, an apple mid-morning, a Lite'n'Easy meal for lunch, a whole grain and fruit muesli bar mid-afternoon, and another Lite'n'Easy meal for dinner, with their spicy fruit cookies for dessert. I'm not as organised on the meal planning front in reality as I am in Alex's Fantasy World, but next week will be better.
I did two walks of 20 minutes each, at a 6k/hr pace, and have returned to the handstrengthening exercises after being unable to disconnect something at work. I also have refreshed red stripes in my hair, and am feeling positive. Okay, after a promising start last year things fizzled a bit, but I'm still 14k less than I was in October 2010, and I'm miving forward. - Alex
