Success all round

Well this week was great for the class - everyone who stayed to class (almost all the regulars) lost this week! I lost 3lb which definately makes up for such a small loss last week. I got my 5th silver 7 (yippeee!) and I now weigh 18st 4lbs. My next goal is to get under 18 stone and I would like to reach that by the time we go out for Simon's Dad's birthday on 3rd June. To do that I would have to lose over 4lb in 2 weeks whic I think is a bit of a tall order, so I am not putting any pressure on myself to do so.

As expected, I did not manage to get any yoga done in the past week due to TOTM. I am determined to fit it in at least once this week. I really enjoy it, my knees seem to take it ok and feel great afterwards - it is just trying to get it set in my routine on a regular basis.

I've had my hair cut this week and I am suprised each time I have it done, how much it boosts my self confidence. I never really bothered with the hairdressers, in the 3 years before joining WW I think I went only went about 3 times, yet I have already been 3 times in the past 4 months. It is turning out to be an expensive business lol! I have gone from a woman who hated to look in the mirror at all, to one who catches myself checking out my reflection sometimes and beginning to like what I see.

I am also beginning to look at dresses for our renewal of vows ceremony in July but having no clue what I feel I would look good in or even what style I would like to go for. Style is a word that has not existed in my vocabulary for many years! When it gets a bit nearer to the date I will have to go and try things on to get an idea.

I've been a bit braver in the kitchen this week too. Normally I only cook "proper" (i.e.old fashioned) meals if planned well in advance. On Sunday, I just had a lightning bolt and decided to make toad in the hole. Whenever I have attempted this dish before it had failed miserably, but had seen a recipe in the Fabulous and Filling cookbook made with sausages, apples and onion gravey and was determined to give it a go. It was devine! I couldn't believe it. I have also been trying out new WW dessert recipes with my mini chef assistant Megan and it's been lots of fun.


So after another good week I'm off to tackle a mountain of ironing - it has been such a busy, busy week I have fallen badly behind.

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

Have a good week everyone.
