And on the flipside...

...of my post from earlier today, I met a friend who I speak with regularly but don't see often, and she was amazed at the change in me since she'd seen me last. She was genuinely happy for me, and complimentary. We went shopping together and everything I tried on in an 18 fitted and a 20 literally hung off me. I couldn't believe it!

I had such a nice morning and I'm feeling very happy now.

I've also decided to start taking my measurements every Saturday morning before I weigh in. My waist is an absolutely ridiculous size so when I get my gym program redone next week I am going to concentrate on my core. I'll probably add a ticker for my waist measurement but I'm guessing it will be a lot slower moving than my weight one.

Oh, and I dropped a pound, which I am SUPER pleased with as I thought I would actually put on this week with all my bad eating shenanigans (including a 3 course meal last night).

Today was the day!

Yes. Today it happened. Well, technically it was yesterday, but I was sure of it today. Today I put on my trousers for work, and they were too big! They are literally at the point where whenever I walk I need to basically pull them up all the time, which looks awful, but kinda makes me happy at the same time! This is the first time an item of clothing has felt too big for me, and I'm quite excited. Even more excited about the fact that soon I'll be able to buy some new clothes, in a size smaller! Woohoo!
