Wow!!! can’t believe I am now officially at target! I am writing this Thursday afternoon, the day after and I still have the grin on my face!
I previously posted about how stressed out I was getting and as a resulted had decided i’m gunna go back to my 10 to 15 syns a day, relax more on the plan and concentrate on non-scale victories. However i dod not expect it to have the impact it did! I lost 3 1/2lb this week. I only needed 2 1/2ln for target. I would have been happy with a lb off (which is good for me as i had only been getting small losses – even on Fast Forward I only got 2lb). So I smashed target going below by the extra lb. Therefore we changed my target to 9st 12 1/2lb (as opposed to 9st 13 1/2lb that I had set it as). In total I have lost 5st 10lb since January last year. I am now as size 10 as opposed to the size 22 I used to be. Meaning I now gave to try and maintain that weight! I’m guessing this is where the hard work kicks in. Seeing that ‘9’ on the scales meant everything…I am now in the single figures …woohoo!!
Back to non-scae victories (NSVs) …these really are what matter though – they focus on how positive we feel and celebrate those small personal successes. A few weeks back I posted how I had purchased a size 10 dress which felt great. This week I have purchased size 10 jeans, which felt great as they are a lot tighter with no give like the dress! I have also been roller skating yet again (which I discussed in my last blog post about how I had not skated on over a decade). Another few hours at the roller rink for me this afternoon!
