Still marking time on 181 lbs, folks.
Not very pleased; more relieved it was not worse. I have had good days; I have had bad days. My resolve ebbs and flows, arguably matching my level of hunger. Ah well, it was ever so.
Feeling jaded today. Ran 30 mins yesterday morning (good) and drove about 450 miles (bad) to visit an old school friend oop in t'north; primary school, no less. Not seen him for some nigh on 20 years but email has kept contact alive. His kids had grown, mind ! So today is a day of rest with a work-related trip oop in t'midlands planned for tomorrow. Don't you just love the M1 ? Sigh. However, it seems a nice day, so I might dig the bike out. We shall see.
I can now report back to an eager world on subliminal messaging. Paid a small sum to have a little program on this here PC flash up messages of exhortation and affirmation, like 'eat more fruit' and 'I am becoming slimmer', etc., very briefly on the screen. Stop laughing. Supposed to be taken in sub-consciously and, like chinese water torture, gradually get you to accept the messages.
Crucially, does it work ? Dunno ! It could easily be argued that my static weight is due to said messages having brought my woeful over-eating (for that it had become) back under control. However, my inner feeling is that, as implemented here, it had no effect. One surprise was that the messages popping up every so often for a fraction of a second did not actually irritate me, whereas I had expected they would. I just ignored them; consciously anyway. Might work for others; who knows ? Irritates the hell out of other family members when I forget to disable the program though !
I have other sly, weight-loss tactics in field-test mode but they are Top Secret. More eventually to regular readers only. That should increase my audience !
