Swim to slim

This week has been a resounding success. I have tried 4 new ww recipes, finally overcome my mountain of ironing and got back into a routine with it and I have been swimming twice this week. I took Daniel once and then I went on my own for the very first time ever, just to swim. I managed to swim for an hour non-stop and completed 44 lengths!!! I really enjoyed it but since I will be taking Dan again tomorrow and we have splash club again this Sunday, I will give my solo swim a miss this week. I don't want to risk setting my knees off worse again so will keep it to twice a week, at least for now.

All the extra activity this week (and less nibbling) has paid off with a 1.5lb loss taking me to 18st 2lb. I am not disappointed that I did not get under 18st before my father in law's birthday tomorrow - I never really thought that was realistic, just would have been nice.

I also finally got around to sorting and sending the invites for our Renewal and I also took the plunge and ordered a dress I have had my eye on for a while. It arrived today and I have had a lovely (though inconvenient) boost. I had ordered a size 20 (haven't been that size in years) and it didn't fit - it was too big!!! I had been worried as it was quite fitted at the waist, it fit ok on the bottom half and with 6 weeks to go it would have fitted perfectly. The top half however, was another matter -it was falling down!!! Now I am not exactly small up top but it was clear that I should be in a size 18 on top and 20 on the bottom. So off we go to Carlisle on Saturday to return it. That is the first time I have ever had to return clothes for being too big. Needless to say that made me feel pretty good. So more more clothes browsing on the internet, not that I mind it.

Not really any goals to set myself this week other than that I would like to be down another 7lbs by the ceremony on 19th July.

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Take care,
