Day 41 : "Two very different feelings of satisfaction..."

Today, I bought a new work suit.  Last time I bought a couple of suits - back in the summer - I got a 42" jacket with a 36" trouser... and probably should have got a 38" trouser, but squeezed into a tight 36" as didn't want to admit the fact that I'd put on weight.  In fact, the trousers have stretched with me and are out of shape, and I know that had I bought a suit in the few weeks prior to starting my challenge I would definitely have to have gone for a 38".

Today, I bought a 40" jacket, and a 34" trouser - and there's room to spare.  It felt great.


I did have a chocolate this afternoon though.  Just the one Cappuccino chocolate, from a pack that my wife bought in Thornton's this morning.  I ate it feeling relatively guilt-free though, what with it being the first chocolate I've consumed in virtually six weeks - and now knowing that I could eat just the one, without fear of then gobbling half the packet down.  I have to say though... it tasted great.


My diet today has consisted of:

- Breakfast: Scrambled egg on a piece of toast;
- Lunch:  Two tins of mackerel and a tin of tuna, a few nuts & raisins... and one cappuccino chocolate;
- Dinner:  Not sure yet... but it will no doubt be fish-based...

Gym:  A legs workout.  They are stiff.

Feeling good to be back in a 34" trouser and 40" jacket  for the first time in years!

Tomorrow:  I can't quite believe I'll be at the 3/4 mark in my challenge, with my sixth weekly weigh-in!
