Yes! A loss!!

I got on the scales this morning having no idea at all what the result would be. A little bit nervous, holding my breath and...... I was really happy to see a 400 gram loss which to me is a huge one!! My week has been good - but always room for improvement, also light on exercise so this result was more than I expected. Can you tell I'm happy!!! Another week ahead and any loss for me would be a great one! I keep thinking - one day at a time!
Last week: 73.6
This week: 73.2!!!
What have I done different. Just a few little changes to how I'm eating. I've swapped some of the ''treat'' type food I used to have such as the processed cereal bars for more fruit including dried fruit such as apricots and prunes. I've cut down on carbs a little. The weekends are always my downfall so last weekend before we went out I had soup and toast for dinner so that I could have supper. Hey you've got to enjoy life and it's also important for me to not feel deprived! I'm still going by the WW guidelines but not strictly on 20 points - some days it's more, some days less depending on how I feel. I'm trying to listen to my body and not eating snacks just out of habit but waiting until I feel I need it. Whatever it seemed to work!

I felt my exercise this week has been slack! But then I feel I can be a bit hard on myself as I'm still doing something each day. No excuses - I still want to get back to doing the amount I was, just time is stopping me. Peter's work load has been frantic and when that happens it means I end up overloaded as well.

Today - hairdressers! Hair is looking a little tired, I thought my appointment wasn't until next week until I checked yesterday and found I'm booked in for today. A touch up on the ummm greyish areas and a few foils, along with a flat white from the cafe next door and the latest magazines. Love a bit of pampering. All going well gym before the appointment.

LOL yesterday Devin found the big photo of me I posted a couple of entries ago and he asked
''who is this Nana"
"It's me'' I said.
''You're tricking!! No it's not - who is it??''
"It is me! I was a bit fatter then"
"But you have got that thing on your leg now!"
Damn I thought he had noticed the difference in my size!!

But then my loss did get noticed in the weekend. Peter took a video of his helicopter ride, we went back to my daughters so he could show the kids. The bit on the ride stopped and there was some old video on the tape of Devin as a baby and me. ''Holy hell Mum - what a difference!!'' Deb said. Got to keep reminding ourselves how far we've come.
