Updating on Day 51. I’ll put photos of yesterday’s and today’s meals on here in a bit.
Today’s long walk was a mission to reunite PJ with his thermos flask, which he had left on my desk in the front room when he left for work. I’m doing a bit of internet work now to see how many miles I walked to his office – it’s not a huge amount, it’s only one post code away. OK – 3.6 miles total! PJ does that every single day though, so I can do more. His office were nice, they let me use the loo, although I had to sing because the lock didn’t work.
I suspect I’m still at a plateau because even though I haven’t got back on the scales, I don’t feel like I’ve lost any or look like I’ve lost any. If I’m going to shift some more weight then I’d rather do it by moving more than by eating less. Also, I feel like, looking at my meals, there isn’t enough protein! As I understand it, protein isn’t an energy source but it can help you feel less hungry, admittedly not as important as its good work helping with growth and repair, but a bonus.
Not sure if I’ve said this on here yet but one obstacle I face with the protein is: I don’t like meat. I was vegetarian for the longest time (over 25 years) and never had the taste for it before, or got the taste for it since.
It’s too chewy! …Possible research into things that have a load of protein but aren’t meat to follow.
