Target!!

May 17th 2016

Cannot quite believe that I am TARGET!  Exactly 40 days before my 40th Birthday and one month until Royal Ascot (and that size 10 dress!)

Weigh in

Its been a difficult few months weight wise and I re-read my last blog where I challenged myself to lose 2lb to get my club 10!  This took a little longer than the week and I've been so busy I haven't had time to sit down and write.  So a little later than I hoped for but finally I achieved my Club 10 last week and my target weight this week.  It's been very up and down for me and I didn't think it had been so long since I published a blog but here's how I got to today...

29th March lost half a pound
5th April put on 1lb
12th April didn't weigh
19th April lost 2lb
26th April put on 1.5lb
3rd May lost 1lb
10th May lost 2lb
17th May lost 2lb

Clothes

I have spent so much of my blog talking about food that I thought I would cover another area, one that anyone who has lost any significant weight will relate to.  Clothes!  At the start of my blog I talked about being almost a size 16.  Most of my size 14 clothes (especially trousers!) were very snug and I was delighted when they became comfier and looser.  I was even more delighted when I felt it was time to purchase some size 12's.  As the summer now seems upon us, I fetched my 'summer wardrobe' out from hibernation and started to sort through what still fit me.  I found a pair of black trousers, that although a 14, and felt a bit big I thought I would give them an outing at work.  As I mentioned before I sometimes have an early start so cue me shopping in the 24 hour Tesco this morning at 7.30am for a new pair of size 12 black trousers - otherwise I feared it could be an embarrassing day! 

At the start of this blog I had the intention of losing a further 8lb...I have actually lost 11lb. 

Now I just have to keep it off!
