Weight loss: 8lbs
Mood: good


Today when I stepped on the scale I was expecting it to be a little high for a couple diffenret reasons but to my surprise it was down! yay! I am now only 2 lbs away from my London goal and have enough time to reach it (I think). I am so happy about that.


I have been eating more (calories) than I did at home but they are extremely well balanced healthy meals and I think that is helping the weight loss. I am eating about 3 or 4 points more than usualy which is only about 150 or 200 calories but I am getting proper amounts of protein which I don't usually get that much of at home. I will have to keep that in mind when I return in the New Year. I have been drinking more water than normally too since it is so convenient hereas the fridge has a dispenser and it comes out filtered and at the perfect temperature.


I haven't been getting proper exercise as Comet doesn't do long walks and it has been nasty weather any of the times I wanted to go on my own. I did go Boxing Day shopping yesterday and that was a crudload of walking so that should help and I have been doing little workouts around the house once or twice a day but nothing serious.


As I have mentioned before I have my weight loss plan and exercise plan all scheduled out in a big spreadsheet which I love. I am however, planning and redoing this spreadsheet to reflect changes which have occurred in my plan. The exercise plan has to be restarted as I totally fell off the wagon on that right before the holidays and will need to start slow again and work back up. That's not a big deal though since I am sure it will happen many times during my journey. As long as I get back on it in a short period of time it doesn't really matter that I took a week off now and again. I also need to readjust for the fact that I no longer have to take school into consideration. I got my last marks while I have been here and did really well in them and as long as I haven't missed a class or something I am done my undergraduate degree. I also have a lot of work to do to get ready for London so I am not sure if my workout schedule is too heavy considering how much preparation time is needed - but I will figure that out probably when I get back home and have all my stuff sitting in front of me.

I hope everyone's Christmas went well and that the New Year looks good.
