A trip to the doctors

I have just returned from seeing the nurse at the doctors' surgery.  I've lost 2kg in 3 weeks, mind you I am as bloated as f#'#523k and have eaten lots of heavy stuff today.  I've got another appointment in 4 weeks.  My aim is to have lost a stone by then.  So as I weighed in at 231 lbs today, that means 217 in four weeks' time

Zumba this morning was okay, I haven't made many friends there but there are some people who talk to me.  And I wasn't the biggest person there, although I may have been the most uncoordinated. I'm going again on Wednesday, but it's at a different venue.  Plus I have taekwondo tomorrow so hopefully the increase in exercise will boost my weight loss.

I'm supposed to be seeing an Occupational Therapist tomorrow morning for help with my binge/purging (not that I'm ready to stop purging, but I'm definitely ready to stop the binges), I have no idea what to expect from that.  I have always been under the impression that OTs are there to assess whether old people being discharged from hospital are going to fall down the stairs or whatever.  I'll post about it tomorrow. 

I have the biggest craving for a Pepsi Max at the moment.  I think I will have to go and get one.  They've gone up in price from 1.40 to 1.65!  That's 25p!  Shocking.  It will be snack time too soon.  My plan is:

<300 cal breakfast
<150 cal lunch
<100 cal snack
<300 cal dinner
<100 cal snack
So every day I should be under 950 calories.  In theory.  I've been averaging 750 and that's where I'm comfortable, but I can go to an extra 200 if I can allow myself to.

  2. Zumba is like this sort of dance-meets-aerobics workout in a class. It's really fun!
