Week 2 weigh in.....

The past few days has been somewhat busy to say the least. At 6am on Tuesday I was travelling to hospital in a ambulance with my son Daniel, who has developed croup. The two of us spent last night on the sofa as he couldn't lay down to sleep. I felt as though meals have been a little rushed, the past couple of days and that I maybe could have made some more varied choices. I did however, manage to stay within my points.

Weigh in today and we (my mother-in-law & I) had decided not to stay for the meeting, I wanted to get back home to Daniel. We had each lost 3lbs, which was great, and I got my first half stone sticker!!! Yay! That takes me to 8.5lbs in 2 weeks and I am chuffed to bits with that. I feel like I am generally moving more and I have more motivation for everything in life. I can see my body shape changing in ways it hasn't before, even with such a relatively small loss. I feel more confident already and this week I managed to fit into a pair of jeans that I hadn't worn since before I fell pregnant with Daniel(my 2nd child), who is now 3!!

I think that the thing has changed the most already (and the thing I am happiest about) is that I feel I am becoming closer to Simon again. Not that we have ever been distant, or anything resembling that, but that I didn't enjoy his compliments and affection all that much. There is no denying that was tied in with my self esteem, and although I am aware that it will take time for it to fully recover - it has started! Each day that goes by I feel that I am receiving Simon's affection better and most importantly, giving more affection back.

Here's to more weight loss and more romance and a generally happier and healthier life....
