Thanks to that schedule I've been eating lunch around 10:30 in the morning. HA!

I do feel like I am handling the scale oddities pretty well now - it certainly helps when you occasionally get that positive reinforcement where the scale does move down in relation to your hard work. Angela - Lamb Vindaloo, Chicken Vindaloo, Prawn Curry, Aloo Gobi, tons of Naan, sauces, Kingfisher beer - oh man. Just couldn't help myself. GroovyBabe - it's tough. And I know it's going to get really tough as I lose some of this "easier" weight. Rachel – 100% right, everything is so mental.

GroovyBabe – it's tough. And I know it's going to get really tough as I lose some of this "easier" weight.

I love to travel but it plays havoc with the body. Similar to not sleeping really - its hard work staying on track! I'm not sure I could do so well if I were constantly travelling.

But is so hard to not get hung up on the little fluctuations of the scale. I have that problem. I do well and I am proud of myself, but then the scale registers a gain or at least no loss and it negates, in my mind, the work I put in. Or, I don't do so well, yet then, see a loss...I get a false sense of security and relax on the things I should be most diligent about. It just goes back to it all being a mental battle.
