In just over 2 weeks I’ve lost 2.9 kilos. So what you might say, Howard Marks lost many more kilos in his career. Noooo, I'm talking about my flabby waist not his wasted stash.
This loss has happened after these lifestyle changes: Making my daily sandwich from one slice of wholemeal bread, not two. By reducing the amount of cheese on the sandwich. Not using cheese on my cooking days (Mon-Thurs evenings.) Reducing the amount of sugar in tea to under a level teaspoon.
2.9 kg is ~6.4lb in old money, that’s not too far off half a stone.
It also makes you hungry. Pretty hungry.
I've also marginally upped the amount of exercise, but only very slightly. It’s usually at this point that some sort of ailment crops up which prevents use of the turbo trainer, or the ability to jump around. Then there's the supermarket order and delivery which brings all sorts of crap. Crispy things.
And crispy things mean there's a high likelihood of sitting down in front of Strictly Cash in the Pointless Escape to the Celebrity Hunt Challenge and consuming an entire tube of sour cream and chive Pringles in one twenty minute sitting - don’t tell me you haven’t done that - oh, you haven’t, well maybe it was thirty minutes, surely you've done that, surely, haven’t you? Well anyway something like that will happen and at that point the weight chart will go in the other direction.
Mind you there's probably no reason for real excitement, 2.9 kg is only one thirty second of the total body weight. But it does suggest one thing. Exercise is not the whole answer.
Oh look, it's levelled off...
