Hi everyone.
Weather here in bonnie Scotland is dire today. Windy with black clouds scudding across the sky at a pace. Rain hovering in the distance and the temperature dropped to freezing over night. Winter is coming fast. The good news is that weight seems to moving down again at a better rate. Bad news is that I've been unable to go swimming for the last two days following a fall. I came dashing through the house to get the washing in before the rain started, caught my foot in the vacuum flex and flew through the air landing on my right arm and knee. (That'll teach me to be more tidy.) Did I get any sympathy from hubby? Not on your life, just a lecture about being more safety conscious! Result - bruised knees and very sore arm and shoulder. Taken a couple of ibuprofen and its keeping things at bay.
Now that I've got my head round the low carb stuff and have re-evaluated how I feel about the new slimmer me and the even more slimer me I'm determined I'm going to be, I'm feeling much more positive. A shopping trip for a couple of new jumpers and skirts has raised my spirits and I was able to buy some things from the "normal" range. Tried on lots of things that I would never have considered before (or been able to get into) and was quite pleased with what I saw, but just stuck to a couple of things to tide me over - no point in spending lots when they will be too big (please) in a short time. Just got to get my head round the saggy skin and the lines on my face now. Think I just need to accept I'm never going to have the body of a 25 year old again but moisturing and exfoliating should help a lot. I'm lighter now than I have been for 30 years so I know I can't expect my skin to shrink back immediately after its been stretched for so long. The only thing that worries me is that I will give up because my mind tells me that I look better fatter than all wrinkly. I know its not true, but your subconscious is a funny thing. My Dad who has been dead for at least 20 years liked what he called 'a bit of meat' on his women and I can remember him making a fuss when my mum went on a diet to lose a couple of pounds. Dieting was a very different science in the 50s though.
Now that I've got that off my chest, housework is calling (only faintly) - perhaps I'll have a coffee first....
Have a good day
