The express elevator to success......

Here's a tip girls and guys. When looking for an image of the word 'going down'.... don't lol. I got a few interesting pics come up and they weren't quite the clean type. My eyes! My eyes! Blond moment number 2066 - this year alone! 


So..... great, great news. I am starting to lose weight again. I have lost almost half a kilo in the past few days alone!! YIPPEEEE ..... I think my plataue has broken. The biggest news though is  my BMI is now sitting on 29.9 which puts me in the merely overweight category. Did I hear that right? I think I did... *thump* ... Sheizer! I just fell off my chair. 


I am now just over 10 kilos away from goal. 10 piddly kilos!! I remember months and months ago when a friend of mine mentioned she had about this amount to lose. I looked at her like she was mad and I think I gave a bark of laughter. "Is that all? You want to swap? Try 40." This put us both in a solemn mood.. at least for about five seconds - because I was, at that time, full of hopes and dreams for what this band had the potential to bring me. Now I know dreams can come true!! It doesn't take much for me to tear up - and this will do it every time. 


MOTH (Man of the House) had his hand on my leg last night in front of the T.V. "Hello, my skinny legged, babe," he said as he ran his hand up and down my lower thigh and then cupped his palm about half way down my leg. Yup, it's official... .my legs have thinned down for sure. And ... one of the best bits? I now have bony-ish feet lol. I'm serious.


Years ago I had this friend. She was my Brother-in-Laws girlfriend at the time and we were so close, she was one my bridesmaids. Anyway, she was not only beautiful in every sense of the word but she was also THIN! I'm talking willowy. And I used to envy her feet. How strange is that? She would wear these strappy sandals or expensive shoes and her long, slim, brown feet would just look amazing in whatever she wore. She had long toes, and slender ankles and well, while I was still not hugely overweight at this stage, I still didn't have feet that looked like that! I wanted those feet!! It now appears it's finally happened, as my own are melting away before my eyes. Could it seem that way as they have been little puffy butterballs for so long any difference in them is an improvement? Could well be. But if I look down, my ankles are very pronounced - except for a slightly bigger one on the right, a legecy from when I broke my ankle as a kid - and I have veins (a sign to me that there's no longer much padding!) and skinny toes. It's a hoot and I'm lovin' it! 


Catherine  http://chroniclesfrombandland.blogspot.com did a great post today. She talked about her method of weigh-ins and I have say, we are almost identical in the way we mark our progress. I - like her - weigh almost every day, if not every day, and I do it in as little clothes as possible after visiting the loo and before I shower or eat. I only ever write in my book when I have reached a new low number - not counting the in-betweens because I can bounce around as much as a half-kilo to a kilo during that week. I don't worry what day it is either that my lowest weight was recorded. Could have been Monday last week and the following Wednesday the week after might be when I see my new best number. When I see that lowest weight, I record it on my ticker but refuse to record any slight ups due to that bouncing. It always goes back to the original number and then down to a new low. It works for me and stops me focusing so much on my ticker and in the long run my drawn out stats. That's the theory anyway, (says she who did a post on that exact very thing - her new stats.) Like I said: theory lol. 


I guess that's it for me today. Just wanted to share my good news. Be good, stay safe and see you soon.
