------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had a weigh-in on Monday. And as I was watching the scales settle down and decide on a number, I just knew that I had finally reached the 20kg mark. That means that I've lost a quarter of the weight I want to lose. Only about another 60kgs to go now!

On a less joyous note I let myself have a day off from gym, after an attendance of 30 days in a row. It was as if I had given myself permission to binge, and I did. After two weeks of being really good, all self-control just flew out the window. I was full after eating the two Big Mac meals but I still kept eating until I just felt so ill. I was still feeling the effects of it the next day.

I also noticed, and this has not happened before (to some extent I usually enjoy eating the 'bad' food), I felt really down the next day. I think it was caused by the food and missing gym. And because I felt so down, I skipped gym again yesterday as well. I think I read somewhere that exercise and healthy eating is a mood enhancer. If this is true, then I think I can safely say that the cause of my mood was that day of McDonald's and no gym.

I'm hoping to get 'it' right again from now on (well at least as far as my next weigh-in, baby steps people). I've got the day off from classes today, so I have absolutely no reason not to go to gym. I hope things go well this fortnight, starting today.
