Finally!

So I am finally under 70kgs!  (ok, 69.9, but I'm there :)  I haven't been this weight for years, and while I know I have exercise to now incorporate into my routine, I'm very pleased with myself.  Hopefully at my last weigh-in before going to Oz, the scales will read under 11 stone, as at the moment they are bang-on 11  (& I'd love to have a '10' in front!)  I have revised my goal with Michelle again, and it's now 10 stone (which is 63.5kg), however I'm not fussed at how long that takes - I'm just going to start running and keep being strict during the working week, and see how I go.  I tried on all of my size 12 clothes on Saturday, with the view to taking some to Oz with me.  Well - everything fit, actually not only fit but fit better than when I bought them!  It's like I've been shopping without having to spend any money :P  I had sausages and lentils Saturday night, and last night did thai cod (with yummy coconut milk - which will always be a weekend-only thing!) last night.  Next weekend I'll do smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for Sunday brekky I think, and might try out a lamb tagine in the slow cooker.

I'm hoping increased activity in Oz won't lead to much, if any gain.  I intend to swim, run, hike, and of course run around after the girls, so hopefully I should be ok with eating bit more than I've been used to.  I'll buy myself a set of scales I think next weekend (for our luggage as much as for me!) - probably just get the same weight watcher's ones my consultant uses, but I will be wary of weighing myself more than twice a week.
