Week Seven

Hi there,

Another 3lb gone this week - really pleased! Only 1lb away from my first stone, and I have now lost 5% of my starting weight, which is quite an acheivement. Some clothes are feeling looser, and although no-one has noticed yet, I am hopeful they will soon - I have always thought that weight loss is noticed quicker the smaller you are - if someone who is 10 stone loses 1 stone it's really noticeable, whereas when you bigger it takes a couple of stone for it to show.

I know I will start feeling it's really working when I can start getting back into some of those clothes that are packed in a suitcase at the bottom of my wardrobe - I know I have enough clothes in there to take me down about three sizes which is great - I don't want to spend loads of money on "interim" clothes, I would rather wait until I reach my goal and then really treat myself!!

This week has actually seemed easy - I know every week won't so I'm making the most of it :-) I even managed to walk out of Thorntons empty handed when Pete (my hubby) offered to buy me whatever I liked for Easter - I decided on a nice big hydrangea and a small box of Swiss chocs from M&S instead - the chocs are little and individually wrapped so it's easy not to eat too much - I can three for 2 points so they are a nice treat!

We have walked Minky every day this week which is good for all of us!! I have really enjoyed it and can already get to the top of our lane without getting out of breath which is great. We took her for an extra long walk yesterday and went to the top of May Hill for the first time - we've always turned back halfway up before! It was worth it - the views are amazing and we had a really quiet well behaved dog all evening :-)
