Lesamy Year One

That’s right folks. It’s one year today that I started Lesamy. You may have thought I didn’t blog yesterday due to the usual slackness but in fact this was deliberate for once.

I’d love to say that the recent downward trend has continued but unfortunately I can’t. I put on a couple of pounds this week. I kind of expected that though. Things have happened at work which mean that I now have a new position. This meant some stress-relieving eating, some time spent revising for a test that could have been spent exercising and finally some celebratory eating and drinking. Nothing too excessive but enough so I knew I’d gain this week.

But I’m very pleased about my new position. It’s a great opportunity and something I’ve wanted for a while.

Meanwhile I’m still under 17 stone and have lost 80lbs this year. Which means almost exactly 1.5lbs a week – which is slap in the middle of where I should be. A shame that that represents periods of a lot more plus a few of gaining back. Still, onwards and er, downwards. I still aim to be 15 stone at some point. It’s definitely harder as there are always excuses to take time off the diet. But even if it takes another year it’ll be fine.

Of course less than a year would be fine too!
