Restart Day 29 (Weigh In)

Weigh in today, wasn't excited as usual, unsurprisingly!

Loss: 1lb

Got 1 inch off my waist and hips, all the rest stayed the same. I'm definitely noticing the difference in my clothes, things are getting looser, things I couldn't wear before I can now. Like my PJ bottoms I bought from Primark that I knew would be too small, can wear them now. I think that's the bit I feel better about seeing, the clothes, not the numbers really.

Not a big loss, but considering how off plan I've been this week with being at my sisters and then I've been back but think in 3 days I've had 2 CD shakes and then just my SS+ meals it's not really much of a surprise! Am back to it 100% which doesn't just mean no cheating, it means having all my CD shakes! So I'm starting off now with a banana shake. I can and will get there, but only if I do it right! No faffing about.

I started thinking about Race for Life yesterday and decided to do it this July as it would mark the 10th anniversary of Nan's death. I mentioned it to a friend though and he doesn't think it's a good idea to push myself like that just yet and that I need to build up slowly, so instead should aim for it next year. I know he's right, I know that having CFS is going to effect how I do things, if that is even what's wrong with me. I can't just run around like I did 3 or 4 years ago, but at the same time I don't want to let it stop me doing the things that I want to do, if I do it's like it's won and I refuse to let that happen. So I'm going to spend the next few weeks on a really basic exercise plan doing the Wii Fit yoga for as much as I can, try and find where my limit lies and then slowly work up from there and then I'll make a decision in April time about whether or not I'll do it. Even if I just walk it, I figure it's better than nothing, next year just wouldn't be the same.

On a positive note, the Amitriptyline certainly seems to be helping me sleep, slept til 11 yesterday and 10 today! I haven't had that much sleep in a long long time. Starting a job next week though and uni the week after, so need to make sure that I'm not getting into a habit of sleeping too late. I think it's just my body playing catch up though to be fair.
