Yo Noddy,
0.9 kg last week, and 1.5 kg for this week; this should get my figures up to date. Is there an easier way of getting these figures to you? I could publish a tab delimited text file of the figures which you could automagically grab off the web if you like.
Is it just me, or is Marti getting more skilled at moving conversation away from the peanut gallery during the meetings?

Are we celebrating the double figures milestone of JK?

Went to the local primary school fete yesterday. My usual reason for haunting those events is the cake stall… I fell for it, and bought a chocolate cake with spinkles and choc buttons on the icing… argh. 6.5 points for a waffer thin slice 
I also substituted my lunch with a hamburger from the fete… the wheels are falling off… nooooo!!!!!! 31 points of mayhem for the day — how do I fix it???

Given that i have been crook all week and unable to exercise combined with 1 launch and a big dinner of greek food Saturday night i am dreading my date with destiny and the scales tonight.
Mind you though i did go on a 3 hour bike ride yesterday to get rid of the guilt from the Greek food. Sadly though this seems to have driven me back into unhealthiness.
Bugger!

Wow, I worked out the UniHouse committee lunch yesterday. 30.5 points for the day, so 5.5 over my limit. And they were bad points; lots of sugar.
To try and compensate, I headed out to the wilds of Curtain Square at 9:30last night and did the TCC empty hand form. JK — any idea how many points the full form (in an embarrassingly rusty manner and fast 22 mins) is worth?

Today I did much better - even got all my fruit down! I had a moment at 3:30pm where I thought - “hmmm. snackie cakes” but then remembered my banana and had that instead. This got me through until teatime at 7pm and I didn’t snack while I made dinner either.
I think I might be a convert to this fruit thing. We’ll see how it goes on the scales though….
Don’t know if everyone is reading the comments on J’s post about a below 100kg party and going bowling. So far it is looking like Sunday is the most likely day and bowling in the evening. Since J has yoga (your fitness regimen astounds me Jacques!) at 4:30pm how does 7pm suit? Either Crown or Melb central have the facilities.
My food diary is in the extended bit for those that can be bothered>

According to Noddy’s trendlines, I should be doing the double digit dance on 19th April. It’ll be interesting to see how accurate that milestone is…

Managed to be two points under yesterday, as well as get a bunch of bonus points from kung fu. This should make up for being 2.5 points over for Sun and Mon.
Nodster, I was -0.9 cf previous week (can’t recall the abs value). This makes my rolling 4 week loss 4.4 kg, which means that I am still consistently, on average, losing over a kg a week. I wonder when the plateau will hit?
