      Woo hoo! Heading down again. I didn't do too badly yesterday except for eating sweets at an event, but I logged them truthfully! I did get kind of a bad start today.... I brought good, low carb foods for lunch and then bought a packet of Cheetos from the vending machine.... I forgot about the Monday meeting and it kind of threw me off and made me have to restart my day. I need to learn to not let little things get me off balance.

      Just a quick update from me:

      I have been doing a fear bit of road and track running, so have not been getting to the gym for a weigh in.
      However the cheap home scales have not shown much movement either way -
      floating around 82-84kg. (4-6 kg loss for 2018, 15-20kg loss for the past 6 months)
      I have been focus on achieving my fitness goal more than the weight of recent.

      I'm off overseas on vacation tomorrow, but have running shoes packed. And i will be away from my recent nemesis - the pantry. So plan this to be a positive for my goals.

      I will be back home before the end of April, when i will complete the 8km running event I have been doing the training for. After this i plan to re-focus on gym workouts and knock off a few more kg's.

      Well done to all those that have been progressing with their 1Lb per week or more, and those that are struggling keep at it, it will happen. I will be slightly behind by the time i return, but know that there is plenty of the year left to get back on track.

      Back in May for my weekly updates.

      Total 2018 loss: -4/52


      This week’s successes: Continued to stay on course with no big changes. Diligent tracking of calories/points, exercise, and water have been key. This is but a small bump, and does not reflect anything I ate last week.

      Next week’s challenges: none....will continue to work towards the 170s!

      Motivator: losing weight for 2nd kidney transplant in 2019(-ish?).

      Ultimate goal, also Deadline: 198.0 lbs / 90 kg (december 31 2018)
