Friday is here and

one more day before weigh in. To be fair to myself if I were on my old scales I would have lost 3 - 4 pounds, but on the new ones my weight loss this week is presently 1 pound.

So the people out there who care and were worried about the first week, there is no need to. I still will be having salads for dinner as soon as I loose those 2 extra stubborn pounds. Thank you for caring though.

I can't wait till the weekend, catching up and taking it easy.

Effects of my mini make over

On Monday and Tuesday I've have had heaps of positive feedback. I suppose I'm going to have to get used to people noticing me. This week will be a very low weight loss week, although I'm still expecting to loose 4 pounds (just under 2kg).
Reason: I've started having cup a soup for lunch and my metabolism is low from not eating for the 7 days prior.
The soup is giving me more energy so my metabolism should be getting faster. I'm feeling stronger any way.
Its really incredible how slow your metabolism can get that I'm almost maintaining my weight on 100 - 200 calories a day.
I went out and bought electronic scales last night, my rusty old ones are saying hi to the rubbish collection tomorrow. The difference between them is 3 pounds. Which I have had to ignore those three pounds and pretend I haven't lost them as they have already been accounted for.
Anyway 3 more pounds and I'm going to try stomaching salads for dinners.

And hey just found out that blogspot seems to like firefox more than IE. To edit I will start using firefox from now on.

Last night

Richard sent me an email of his thoughts and feelings about us. I was so impressed, he was very candid about things that upset him and how he feels about me (good and bad). It was one of the nicest things anyone has written. Honesty is important to me. I know if we get back together there is heaps of work to do from both sides, and I think there is a chance that communication and understanding where each other comes from would make it very successful.

Went to lunch with Richard today

Its strange not holding his hand, I kept crossing my arms so I would not accidentally go for his hand. I had asked him last night if he could please not look for someone else for a month, because I just want to give us a chance to rekindle what we had before we rushed into everything. And if there is something worth holding on to, just taking things slowly.
(Also gives him a chance to get away and think about what he really wants, and if things don't work it gives me time to accept that it was not meant to be)
After speaking with Richard he did not realise that's what I meant. He said he would give it a month after asking.
He has been very patient with me.

Jumping up and down

I rechecked my bmi verses my height today. I mucked up (grins) in my favour. I am now in my healthy weight range (at the top end of course), but healthy none the less.
I've fixed up the lower end of my bmi as well.
