Week two, day one. I got weighed this afternoon, and the number is the same as last week – 16 stone 1 pound. That’s no biggy -  as I said before, I don’t expect to be losing any weight just yet.  

Last week I averaged just about 3000 calories per day according to my log. Of course, that’s based on estimates, given that I don’t have exact figures down to the last calorie for everything I ate. I’m not going so far as to weigh every bit of food I eat. I know some people do that, but from past experience, estimates are generally good enough for me. Anyway, I stayed within the limit, which was good, but it hasn’t started to get tough yet and I’ve so far only needed a very modest amount of self-discipline to stay on track – which will change as the restriction becomes tougher. Hopefully easing in to the diet will make it less of a shock to the system.

Today the calorie limit went down to 2750, and the cardio session increased in length by two minutes. I don’t really feel any fitter yet, but hopefully by the end of the initial six weeks I will, even if just by a little.

Onward!
