Lol... what a great way to start my day! I'm gonna snaffle one of the edwardian bloomer sets... just my style! OK. I am aboard the boat today, and love the idea that I need to stay safely aboard to avoid the sharks... yesss. Have to rush out on errands for DD (who is conveniently in N Jersey this week on school exchange - !!!!). Will do a shop & stock up on SW friendly stuff. Then plan to spend my afternoon just drifting and catching some rays... oh. Hang on, it's raining, and I have a mountain of work to do. Ah well! See you latesr, navigators!

Why Be Normal?
Morning Katycakes,
I am so sorry it is raining up North. The sun is fighting its way through the clouds here in Cambs. I hope the weather drifts your way and the day brightens.
Glad to hear you are onboard. It is good to have you back -- you are usually very good a leading the crew.

Ahoy there shipmates!!!!!!! Are we feeling a bit nautical this morning? 
Can we get Greeneyes to let Mr Depp be our captain....if we give her some pieces of 8 she might allow it
I have been having very nautical thoughts and we are not talking ocean waves here........spring has definitely sprung in my neck of the woods
@MM - Not sure about the bloomers outfit and hats definitely don't suit me, so you will have to come up with something different for us to wear, perhaps something oriental, as we are ying and yang??? lol
Have a lovely day Katy. So good to speak to you again and we can stop playing on your diary now.....

DAY ONE
Mel, my cozzie is black & cream polka dot with halter top, from Toast 3 years ago, and I love it... it was after I lost the weight with CD and was the first time in my life I remember being confident in a swimmy, even though I'd been slimmer in the past I had never felt comfortable with myself until then. I could cry at letting that get away from me. The cozzie fit last summer too, in Egypt, but it wouldn't now. Sigh. It WILL by holiday time though. And as OH booked a holiday for June that means I have to stop this messing about and get on with it. A stone in two months should be do-able, if I really, really try?
Ah who knows, but I WILL do my best.
Update, too mortified to post this morning, but my first-thing WI gave a weight of 12st 10 today. So 3lbs overnight, or water weight, or delayed gain from weekend, or PMT... or it may have been the large amounts of chocolate I ate yesterday. I might as well admit it, with much shame, because I do not lie to my minis pals and I'm not about to start now.
So... day one for me. So far so good. But I can't kid myself it will be easy because I have been off the rails big style recently and pulling back from that will not be easy. I plan to take it one day at a time, but I cannot go on this way... something has to change, and I think it's got to be me.
Have done assorted errands and shopped for SW friendly food, so that helps. So far have stuck to plan, and will check in later to let you know how I am doing. I don't deserve your support or faith, but I promise I WILL do all I can now not to let you down. Or myself.
And thanks Mel for the pic of the polka dot swimmy, has been in my mind all day and quietly motivating.

Why Be Normal?
Hi Katycakes,
I do love my retro 1950s style suit with the sweetheart neckline and little 'fake' skirt in front. However, I have a very bright orange print cozzie that I thought looked pretty good when I was at a goal. So, I have a "goal cozzie", too. I'll see if I lay it out and take a photo -- it is so pretty.

Should we try to swim in something more like this? It would certainly be modest and save money on sunscreen.
MM
Those glasses make me laugh and laugh!
Don't you dare say that!! xxx

@Bess --
I figure as Chels is always whinging about our advanced years, I'd look for a photo of "somewhat senior" ladies in modest swimwear. In all honesty my age bothers me not at all... it is just a number. I am (thankfully) a lot more physically fit and healthy than some women decades younger than myself. And, aging certainly beats the alternative. Plus, aging might be madatory, but maturing is optional!
