Day 7 - Completely Exhausted

Hello Everyone,

For some strange reason I feel completely exhausted today.  I stayed up reading (FASCINATING book about Vikings) and so did not wake up until nearly midday.

Faffed about a bit around the house, then finally went out to do a bit of shopping around 3pm.  Took my bike for the exercise - I was hoping to do a bit more pedalling than just down to my local supermarket, but when I got there, I realised I was STILL completely knackered.

When I got back home, put the shopping away and faffed around a bit more, then decided to read for a bit and promptly fell asleep again!  I was lying on the bed, with the duvet over my feet...feeling quite at ease with the world...then zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

My beloved pointed out that perhaps this was due to only ingesting 1,000 calories yesterday.  I am beginning to wonder if, with my rather large weight, 1000 calories is enough to keep the Keetje show on the road?

Otherwise, very clean day, didn't cook anything particularly splendid.  I am looking forward to getting this weight down a bit as I am sure that hauling around all these kilos would tire out the most herculean of athletes, never mind a small woman of 5ft 2.

On the weight front, I was feeling slightly overwhelmed by the size of the task ahead of me - but as usual took some inspiration from the good folks at the Atkins Diet Bulletin Board where one lady, Tutti from the Phillippines, suggested that breaking the weight loss down into 10% mini goals was a very good idea.  Indeed it was!

So mini-goal no. 1 of 117kg has been set and I am feeling a little more positive.

Got the calories up a bit today - more like 1,200 - eating when I have no appetite is really quite difficult - but apparently this fades after a little while.

Hope you like the picture, its by Rembrandt - an artist very close to my heart :) .
