Start of week 3 of this dam diet, I'd managed to get down to 7st 11lb 3/4 and then I weighed myself yesterday and I'd gone back up to 7st 13lb 1/4 and today its 7st 13lb. I don't really understand why this is, yes over the weekend I did have a higher calorie intake but I also had a higher calorie burn rate, so on both days I still created a deficit. I will have to remain resolute and not get down hearted and give up. I just feel sometimes that for me to lose weight I have to consume ridiculously low amounts of food and that's hard. Experts say that you shouldn't have less than 1000 calories a day but for me that would not make any difference in terms of I wouldn't lose the weight. After a couple of days creeping over the thousand mark I need to get back to being under.

My hamstrings are a bit sore this morning but that's only to be expected with all the gardening I did on Saturday and the long run on Sunday. I am planning the seven miler this evening all being well.

I watched a programme yesterday evening on Wainwright and his pictorial guides. He was an odd character really, somewhat a social recluse, so to me something had obviously happened in his life to make him like that. Sometimes people can be so nasty to you its just easier and a kind of self preservation to keep your distance. He had a definite lack of social skills when it came to social interaction. My opinion is that he probably suffered from depression and his work obsessive as it was gave him a focus and a direction.

Doing these password changes are doing my head in, these people who ring in must be so thick, how do they manage to get these jobs. I am swiftly running out of patience with these people. I hope this job isn't going to be long term as I hate it already. As you may guess I am feeling somewhat irritable this morning.

I've just read the weekend kids footy results and the team that's ahead of us currently in second place lost to their local rivals so that's good news for us. It's really close to see who will end up as runners up, we need to make sure we win all our remaining games and other teams beat each other to give us a good chance. I see from the tables the league have been deducted 3 points, they say we played an inelligible player but we certainly did not, all we did was accidentliy left a blank line, the ref didn't pick it up nor did the opposition. I will be really disappointed if this clerical error results in us losing runners up spot. We could really do with the two teams closest in the table to us dropping points.
