More Weight Lost, But Only Just!

Well, today marks the first day that I have weighed myself and lost only a small amount of weight. I knew that this day was coming, but had hoped that it would be a little way off yet. I am certain that this is not the start of the slow down in my weight loss, or even worse a plateau, it just feels to me like this is a blip, and next week I should be back to normal. I don't know why I think this, but I do and I think that is for the best because I don't want to let this get to me and get discouraged. I knew that this was coming, and along the way I am not always going to be dropping 1 or 2 kg every week. The important thing is that I am still heading down, going in the right direction.

Yesterday was a wonderful day. I walked further than I have walked since I lived in the Cook Islands and took it upon myself to walk around Rarotonga, the main Island, as part of a marathon that was being staged on the island. That was a long way, and a really hot day, but yesterday was pretty taxing too. I think the round trip of the island was 32km all told. Mate, my legs were really sore after that! The walk yesterday was great, and I did get to have several delicious espresso shots on my travels. I reckon all told I probably walked about 15km during the course of the day and manged to get a lot of sun without getting burned. My new haircut has meant that parts of my head are exposed to the sun that used to be well covered (such as my ears) however all parts of me seem to go brown over here rather than going red and then back to white!

A big weekend lies in wait for me. Both days I will be at the gym with my partner and her cousin. There is talk that we will be off to the beach again, apparently it is going to be 33 degrees tomorrow so that will be a bit of a challenge. We have a bit of a heatwave going at the moment, but I must say that I like it. I feel toasty warm every time I am outside and just love being bathed in sunlight - it improves my outlook on life, even if I am not out in it.

Well, chalk up another successful week, even if it wasn't as successful as some past weeks. Onwards and upwards and I am sure that I will be rewarded for my ongoing efforts in due course.
