Full of cold. Hope to feel better tomorrow and just deciding whether or not a run in the morning will make me feel a bit more alive and better if I shock myself into doing something. Hmmm, maybe it will. Will see how I feel in the morning

Feeling a little better now which is good. Forgot to mention my final £5 book arrived today all fine and off it goes to the present pile. Glad I got these as they have all gone back up in price now so a good saving

Also bought a £20 coat today in Mr T's in their 'all coats now cost £20'. It is purple with a large colour and will be wearing it this weekend to begin with then it morphs into a new work coat

Acuttling off to sort out washing and clothes now

WOW! I can fit into a skirt i have not worn or fit into for 5 whole years! Now that's what I call a result!

Good start to today

1. got up and felt better - cold is going now!
2. got up and went for a run first thing - its done for today!
3. Lost a 1lb taking me closer to my target weight!

Happy day so far, let's hope it continues!

Really looking forward to my night out tomorrow.

I bought a new lipstick today to celebrate reaching one of my target weights. Now that is something I never do and its a nice everyday colour. It's a surprisingly long lasting colour too. Looks like high street brands are my new best cosmetic friends these days and I don't need to order everything from the online shopping TV giant like I used to.

Popped in to do the shopping after work. Bumped into a work collegue not seen for ages and was nice to have a long chat about life and running.

Well I got called some names by some for losing weight, some of these comments hiding admiration for doing it, genuine congratulation from others and a let's see how you look in January from others.

Don't they know I have an iron will? They will do. Because I do. I had forgotten I had this as it had been hidden away for so long.

When I decide to change for good, I change and I maintain the change. It might take me some time to get to this point and when I do I know I can do it.

Anyway enough of all that, looking forward to a run in the light tomorrow morning. Left my ipod at work by accident, hoping its still there when I go back next week. So will have the radio for company and a nicer gentle run instead of a manic interval run.

Then will have a walk into town, a mosey around the shops and a coffe if I fancy one. Then a little light housework, and time to get ready and transform ready to go out!

I don't seem to be able to stop talking about my weight loss. I think its because I am so happy about it! Anyway walked into town and found a nice counter assistant in Boots who helped me choose the perfect shade of lipstick for tonight. She understood completely what I was looking for and it was nice to find someone like this who wasn't solely interested in selling anything. Its a lovely shade and texture and I'll be popping it on tonight as a final touch of fabulousness! We also had a nice chat about losing weight and running, which we both do for the same reasons - free and easy to fit in and in the fresh air

Also this might encourage me to pop some lipstick on in the week as a pop of colour and freshness - another step forwards for me if I do this!

So far today I have run for 40mins, walked for 2hrs. Planning another walk later on after I do a bit of cleaning and tidying up first.

Cleaning all done, washing in TD as gave up attempting to dry on the line. Bedding changed and all thats left to do is watch Singin In The Rain and take Mr Dog for a nice long walk.

Lovely night out last night. Looked rather lovely too if I might say so myself!

My grey dress I have had for 2yrs and have been slimming into for the work Christmas do fits now! Yeah! Worn with my burgendy booties which I love and hardly ever wear as I hardly ever go out.

So for work Christmas do I plan to wear all this and maybe buy a new handbag if I can find on MSE enough. Shouldn't need any make up as have a ton in the cupboard to use up and of course I bought the perfect shade of lippy yesterday too! Nice to know this outfit is sorted now well in advance, everything fits and no need to have a panic a couple of days before like usual - no need to panic buy like I used to. Nice to wear what I own too instead of leaving it unworn in the wardrobe

Had a lazy day today pottering about, loaf currently baking and all ironing done and put away. Washing drying.

Just need to sort out where I am tomorrow at uni then all ready to go!
