So last Thursday's weight wasn't lower than the previous one, sadly, and unexpectedly, I gained.
79.6kg.
That's disappointing, breaking my 6 week streak of losing every week.
I thought that I would try exercise, to speed up the weight loss. Also I'll be posting what I eat here from now on, as a motivation. Of course, when I restart a diet, I always have nice food to eat. Today is no exception. I'm not working today, so my goal today is to go for a run, and also go for a walk. The run only needs to be one minute long, not a big deal. After a month, I'll be running for 30 minutes in one go.
I'll also be posting daily for a while.

Weekly weigh-in #3
So this week my weight was 79.1, a loss of 600 grams from last week. I'm still splurging, but the frequency is getting less and less. About half of the time I'm eating well, the other half I'm not. Six weeks of losing in a row, which is good, but not a significant achievement.
I'm sorry that this post is rather short, as well as previous posts. I guess I'd rather have a short post than no post.
I think that I am going well, in general. But you never know when it comes to weight loss. You would be fine for 10, 100, 1000 days in a row (unlikely...) then one day your switch inside your head flicks and you lose motivation. I don't understand why it comes and goes with such unpredictability.
At the moment I have it. Let's hope it continues for some time.
As for maintenance (the name of this blog, contains the word "maintenance", after all), I'm thinking of a motivation system that I created at the start of the blog, about 5 1/2 years ago. No cinema, haircuts or supermarket coffee unless I'm at or below goal weight (measured at 30 day average).
It'll be a while before I can test that out. I have a date in mind, but I've decided to not share it with the blog. My ego is a fragile creature and sharing my goal date with too many people might send me over the edge, resulting in a loss of confidence and losing hope and motivation.
We don't want that, do we?
See you next week.

Weekly weigh-in #2
I'm doing well at going without the sugar. I have splurged in the last week, but it seems to be leveling off somewhat and reducing. Another loss this week.
79.7kg, a loss of 900 grams since last week. I'm into the whole veges, sardines and olive oil diet that I've tried in the past and been successful with.
Not much to say, see you again hopefully next Thursday.

Weekly update
Trying to get a regular flow of posts going.
Here are my Thursday weigh-ins so far
7th May 82.1kg
14th May 81.7kg
21st May 80.9kg
28th May 80.625kg
4th Jun 80.617kg
You'll notice that I lost only 8 grams in the last week! How did I manage to weigh something that small? Just a simple method I've been using so far, it was pure luck that it was a loss and not a gain. I fully expected to gain in the last week, not lose.
I've been struggling to get off sugar. I did manage about 4 days without it a week or two ago, but then I'll get back into it for a while and stop losing. I'll try again and go about 4 days again. Ideally, I would like to go at least a week before having sugar, we'll see how that goes.
