Moving forward and upwards

Thanks SH, I'd imagine OS mint has plenty of alternative uses! 

Managed to lose those oz as I didn't eat all my fruit, had soup for tea and we had shared exercise; I am now 11st 9lb 🤗🤗 I'm beginning to believe I can get the weight off! 

Apparently, I should be 7st 8 to 10st for my height. However, I think a size 10/12 would be right as I want to have cake occasionally and nice meals, but don't want to look gaunt and risk my health as I've come too far this year.

I had a bit of a pamper last night, used the new facial exfoliator (N1v3a) and wow, it's great. I followed it with my usual B-sh0p body butter and got up today looking refreshed ☺️

I may be posting a card today and have a walk round the village, depends if TomBo is happy me going out in this weather, followed by a full pamper.

I imagine losing the weight has been part of your health improvement and restored energy levels too. Well done.

Thanks SH, I think it's the meds and being more settled as I've been a lot lighter than this and in an even worse state!

Wasn't sure if the weightloss was incorrect so I weighed myself yesterday, still got 11st 9 on the scales. Tried to rest / sleep but between deliveries and TomBo it wasn't happening. He went I his lunch break, I went to bed and didn't surface til 5pm.

Today I've taken it easy, did my legs, had a shower, went to get my glasses and have lens trial. Everything fits perfectly. It's taken several attempts to get the lenses out at home, until I remembered how I used to do it and out they popped 🤭 
- lens trial and removal at home made 10x worse due to having a reaction to TomBo's body spray but anti-h finally helping 😨

My old glasses are for gardening, last set I'll put in the car, new sets are gorgeous.

He did the shopping first thing while I had a lie in and popped to A1D1 while I was in opticians. 

Not sure what's for tea, as it's "whatever is cooked first". I'm wrapped up on my chair and cat is snoring.

So pleased for you that things are going well

Thank you SH, so am I 😊

I'm dealing with more and more complex things at work, it can be slow going but I'm quickly picking it up for when I encounter a similar situation again. 

Deliveries are now slowing down and I'm only waiting on a few necklaces (same seller), a couple of dresses and cardigans.
- still haven't got round to putting my purchases away but have been wearing some already 🤭

TomBo is off colour today, but it's not stopped him going out to the garden a few times.

My hair bun maker accessory arrived today and I'll have a go at using that this week.

I'll also be taking a dress to the sewing lady, see if she can do an alteration I want for it as there's an event in a couple of months I'm wearing it for!
- just have to be careful with weightloss and somehow lose it from the belly downward.

We're going to Ed Friday, have a mooch round the shops, maybe lunch in a restaurant. There will be a fair amount of walking.

Lost another 1lb ☺️

Chicken wraps for tea!

Thanks SH, DIA and Skinty

TomBo still isn't right and he looks very tired, but he does work hard. Thankfully he booked a very long weekend. Today he's been out on his bike and is doing the cleaning; he told me to sit down.

I've collected my meds, been to the bakery and butcher. 

While out I dropped the dress off. The woman put pins everywhere, adjusted, tweaked, got me to walk around to make sure I was happy, look in the mirror, tweaked some more, took photos, more tweaks, walks and altering. After an hour we were both both very happy, then I put a jacket and other things on getting to see the impact of it all; more photos and so many compliments from her. It will be ready next week, when I get another fitting. I can go back with it for any weightloss alterations in a few months, but we don't think it will need any due to the style.
- promised to send her a photo taken at the event and my legs were shaking seeing it on properly for the first time as I've no full length mirror!

We're having bacon rolls for tea.

I like the idea of altering clothes.
