The weigh in last Friday was more good news. I am down another 2kg to 105.9kg so my new diet is really kicking in. I am beginning to think that it might be time to put an update on my email signature. The nurse at work had suggested that I should aiming for a total loss of 10kg over 6 months, and certainly I am for hitting that target, but in my mind I will not be happy until I hit the 20kg loss. Then I think a new target from Jan to June will be needed to keep it off! Although it is hard to lose weight - though much easier this time.. I think is it the combination of where my head is along with the weekly weigh ins at the "fat clinic".. The real challenge is going to be keeping it off

I haven't got bored yet.. Breakfasts are the toughest. I either have to cook something the night before or get up early and prepare a small omelette. Given the week of work I have had.. Been burning the candle at both ends and a bit in the middle the last thing I want to do is get up any earlier than I absolutely have to. It has also been very frustration because all three times I planned to go the gym, had the kit in the car then work got in the way and it was another day to midnight. Blam, no time for the gym. Though I have managed to swing my skipping rope.. All the lights are still in place at home but I have to find a better place until I either get much better or have shortened the chord a little.

My main concern over my lack of exercise this last 10 days is that while I am walking etc I am not really working out and my metabolic rate has dropped from BMR 2100 to 2063 to 2039. The only way to get it up again is to up my exercise, so that it what I shall focus on this week.. Of course the challenge will be my trip to Cannes in the middle of the week. I am really looking forward to the trip since I will get to do some public speaking at an Executive Partner Summit Alliances day. I hope that there is a little time to have a look around Cannes and not suffer the usual airport --> hotel --> airport. I shall be positive and take my camera and yes skipping rope!
