2 losses in 1 week

Lost just over a pound this week. More importantly I lost my best friend of 19 years, my darling cat Rooney. He's been with me through (excuse the pun) thick and thin, boyfriends, husbands and partners. He's moved house 8 times and maintained his super cool composure the whole time. A great rat catcher but more lover than fighter. Would befriend all the neighbourhood cats rather than defend his territory. He will be sadly missed. Nothing like going through old photos and catching glimpses of yourself at your fattest to strengthen your resolve though so thank you Rooney, I'll keep going this week for you xxx.

No more flashing B A T T

I've had a week of yummy (read: rich) conference food, a weekend of Easter bunnies and ok lets face it - 2 months of general binging. The battery in my scales went flat which was a great excuse to take my eye off the ball.I  know it's bad because it's got to the point where suggesting a healthy dinner or saying no to junk food generates a 'poor me' face from D. Just when he was getting good at being my moral food compass.

Never mind - onwards and upwards downwards. Day 4 of tracking (I need it!). Weigh in this morning on the freshly charged scales revealed 88.8kg. My pre Christmas weight and a lucky number in some countries. A gain of 2kg (5lbs) since my last weigh in. It could have been a lot worse. The aforementioned conference was in Sydney - I bought a pair of jeans there that I don't fit so that's the current motivation. I can do it!
