*Shrinklies**The Everything August Challenge*

Tuesday on Radio Sunshine!

Good morning, Shrinklies!

Hope your Tuesday is as sunny as DJ Thez's :character00238:

This weight loss journey is a strange thing. The only real evidence we'll accept is a downward turn in the numbers shown on the scales. Sometimes we'll accept that our clothes are looser and the inch tape proves that. Sometimes we'll accept the compliments of others and believe them rather than ourselves. But what about what you think? What about what you feel? This is your journey, your hard work and your determination. Believe in it....

Can you feel it?

Hi Thez, well I only lost 1lb this week. It's getting less and less each week but I'm looking at the over-all picture of 22lbs gone for good. If I hadn't been on CD this last while I probably would have piled aload more weight on with all the tempting foods around me.

I was given permission (if you know what i mean) that it would be okay after our 2 hour walk yesterday on the cliffs, to have a slither of OH's home made desert............and I just said 'no thanks', i'm not ruining all my hard work to eat something I wouldn't usually have. Ahhh it's all a challenge to me and that's the way I'm looking at these times. xxx

Morning all

Mini - isn't that a fabulous feeling when clothes you knew didn't fit, now don't fit for all the right reasons! I bet you're walking on air today. Well done you!

FFBT, glad you made it north safely. (I'm heading to Stonehaven today - may pass you on the road!) Don't worry about the lack of compliments - I bet people have noticed and just don't quite know how to broach it with you. People are strange! You know how well you're doing and we know how well you're doing. The compliments will start flowing soon - honest. And bless your mum in the meantime for saying lovely things to you

Glad you're back safe, Sunshine and that the weekend had some lovely bits as well as sad bits. You did so well to stick to plan.

I stuck to an 810 plan over the weekend rather than go completely off the rails so am ok with that. Back on track yesterday. Think I'll be doing 810 things until Sat though as I'll be out for dinner a couple of nights while I'm away so want to make sure I can incorporate that.

Right, better go and iron so I can pack. I'm so behind! Want to leave by lunchtime and at this rate, I'll be lucky if it's teatime! lol

Laters Shrinks!

[Sunshine Singer]

Have a great trip Thelma and yes at least you'd stay on track on 810. It's my friend at the moment

Take care xxx

 

[Sunshine Singer]

[Sunshine Singer]

Oohhhh I'm excited......my band is coming together well for this festival gig in July. I have piano, guitar, violin, bass and drums with myself singing(and playing piano)and 4 backing singers. Big rehearsal later. Also I'm meeting with a top producer in July\ August and this time I'll be ready to meet him and not embarressed by my weight. I'm so ready to meet him now and confident (or will be at the time) that he won't turn me away due to how I look! Have a great excuse now to get a new very fab outfit for this gig. Its being filmed so I'll put it up on youtube after. It's 1 month away....I wonder how much I'll have lost by then!

I'm 2lbs off my 'normal\ok' weight range so I'd love that to come off this week with the 1lb so far........i need a good loss as they've been slow.....still happy tho with my overall 23lbs off Yay x

Hope you're having a fun Make A Wish Wednesday today. I've been busy as usual and about to get back to teaching at 4pm and thenband rehearsal after till late.

I'll be back later on xxx

Feeling impatient at the mo and feeling like eating everything in site!!!! better go get a mint tea to keep me going xxx
