Feeling distinctly twiggy today

Today was weigh day and I was feeling quite worried about getting on the scales in case I'd gained even more weight than last week. I have managed to keep off the scales all week which has helped to keep me postive, but wasn't sure the cheesecake would have helped (hard to believe puddings are OK when you're trying to lose weight). Finally, I forced myself onto them and wooohooo - I've lost 3 3/4lbs - taking my total weightloss to 12 1/4lbs.

This inspired me to finally move the treadmill into the bedroom and actually use it. It'll take a while to get back into the swing of using it, but doing it over the course of a day in small chunks helps. You never know I may even end up getting out my fitness videos. I desperately need a new pair of trainers though as mine are giving my feet serious pain.

Cue twig feeling no. 2. Trying to find the right clothing to walk in I put on a pair of lycra crop trousers (which were part of a set that I wore last year with a matching top and devore overshirt) that I thought would be perfect. They were so big I couldn't keep them on properly. This gave me a fantastic feeling obviously and convinces me that my dress is getting closer every day.

Today's food is a nice mixture - some of the breakfast muffins, they taste much better than they look (need to practice with them further as other on P2T have successfully used paper cases), butternut squash soup followed by a rocket, avocado and parmesan salad with a strip of smoked mackerel and a raspberry mousse. Tonight is pan fried salmon with cauli mash and steamed vegetables in butter.

Off to do a bit more walking.
