Hello 10s

Lost 1.75lb this week taking me down to 10 stone 13.75lb. That's the first time I've been in the 10s for I can't remember how many years - at least 6 or 7.

The last time I was this weight I was a different shape as I was about 3 cup sizes smaller up top so probably a bit pudgier everywhere else. Trying to look on the bright side, if I don't lose weight from my bust at least that is surgically fixable!

Dropping a stone bracket means I drop a point, it is going to take a bit of adjusting to get used to 18 points I think. Or maybe I will have to use my activity points. I keep saying I'm going to try and use half and see what happens and really plan to do it but then I get to the weekend when I plan to use up the extras and bail out! Usually I SP on a Saturday morning, see a loss, and worry I will undo all the good work if I eat all those extra points so manage without them.

This Saturday hubby and I went out for a meal with my brother and his girlfriend and I managed to be only 2 points over for the day. Yesterday I went 2 points over again, but as I had a few food points saved and earned 7.5 activity points over the weekend it was not a problem.

Cleared out my drawers yesterday and ditched all my size 18 knickers. The size 16 ones are wearable and I unearthed some size 14s from the back which I will bring into first choice use again. I've also ditched most of my size 18 trousers. I kept one pair of jeans to try on when I get to goal, and I still have a couple of pairs of size 18 work trousers (the tighter ones) to wear in laundry emergencies as I don't have enough 14s and 16s. I try to avoid them though as I keep having to yank them up!

In sorting my drawers I came across a size 14 pair of gym trousers which I think I kept as I really liked them even when I grew out of them. I wore them to the gym yesterday and they looked great! In fact when I was on the cross trainer (whose control panel blocks my view of my chest in the mirrors) I thought I looked pretty good! If only I could block everyone else's view of my chest too! :)

I feel much more organised with my pared down wardrobe and drawers. Despite all my shopping lately I still have very little choice what to wear, less time deciding in the mornings! In is so good to really see a difference for myself and start to feel good about my body. This week takes me over the 'halfway to goal' mark and I can really feel I am getting somewhere.

In other news I also dropped a BMI point this week to 27. In 10.75lb I will be officially no longer overweight. Next mini goal is 10 stone 9lb though - that will be my 5th 7lb star and BMI 26.
