Weighting… December 12, 2005
While Mark keeps dropping weight at a satisfactory rate. I seem to be unable to lose any.
I lost a couple of kilos in the first week or so, but that would have gone anyway. Since then I’ve been hovering around the same number going up by half a kilo, down by half a kilo, down again, then up again…
Of course, I haven’t been walking anything like as much as Mark has. By the time I get home at night Em’s already walked nearly 5km for the day, so she doesn’t really need another walk and I find it difficult to be motivated to walk without a purpose - like exercising my dog - to it.
I’m also rather prone to snackage while I’m at work. When one is bored ( and sleepy today), one’s thoughts turn to chocolate to break the day up, which is not conducive to weight loss.
This is not a great concern to me. I’d like to see a least a couple of kilos disappear so that I have a tangible result from the diet but even if I don’t lose anything, we’re eating a much more balance diet than before and that’s got to be worth the effort.
you are looking very much better for the balanced and healthy diet so I don’t know that the kilos are anything to worry about (especially since you are well within the healthy range.
And it’s never fair, but men seem to be able to shift weight much more easily than women.
I guess a lot rests on what you define as easily. I am walking dogs in the neighbourhood of eighty kilometres a week. Nicky does have all that free time so only walks Emmylou a little under-twenty five.
I once heard that men seem to lose weight more quickly, but snackage does slow down weight loss unless you stick to carrots and celery sticks. The Twisties in the work vending maching often beckon to me just before I get in the car.
