Mr. Captain's [ Week 2 } Report

First of all the week's weight report = 16 st. 11 lbs. [ 235 lbs. ] = -3 lbs. on the week and - 17 lbs. since the start of the project.

My mind is still consumed with thoughts of food. Although I am by no means deprived of food I still find myself thinking about lovely dishes. I know that Mrs. Captain produces amazing dishes on a daily basis and we now squeeze in a couple of these during the week. [still with the minimun of carbs ]

The weeks result is encouraging and I'm still feeling well. When I gave up smoking 15 years ago , after about a month I stopped thinking about cigarettes totally and I'm hoping the same effect will occur with my no or low carb diet.

I put on one of my never worn jackets , bought over 13 years ago. when I was very fit and weighed about 207 lbs [ or 14 st. 11 lbs. ] and the distance between the button and the button hole was about 4 inches. So you can imagine I still have a long way to go. In addition it is now the season of Lent. It is a very very long time since I have successfully completed an act of self denial during Lent so let it happen and to hell with the lousy feelings. I will be a Saint at Easter time and I'll still be only half way through.

I don't see any blogs from the competion so victory is surely assured even thougt all contestants who lose 14 lbs. by 1 st. August will share the winning pool

Here's to a loss of another 3 lbs. this week and a lovely Leg of Lamb next Saturday [ personally chosen by myself at the Tesco meat sale last week]
