When I left for work this morning[1], I didn’t think I’d be posting this tonight. You see, I was supposed to be going to Leeds this evening ready for a two-day training course[2]. But it was cancelled at the last minute, so here I am with another nice little drop in my weight.

I’m still being disciplined at lunchtime, and that plus the walking I’ve been able to do seems to be making a difference – I’m now back to early May’s weight, which is progress. And just to maximise the pressure on myself, I’m actually giving myself a target weight. Or perhaps I should say a series of targets.

First target: 203 pounds (14 stone 7 pounds, 92.1 kg) – 14½ stone to us older Brits.

Second target: 196 pounds (14 stone, 88.9 kg)

And quite apart from that, I want to get down several waist sizes. 36″ is the first target there, with 34″ being desirable.

I’m not trying to make this too hard, so I’ll set an informal time of six months for the first weight target.

Let’s see how that goes…
