Tipperary wobbles into 2024

Plan for today is a swim and physio and plant the rest of the cyclamen. Soup made for lunch and want to alter the dress armhole.Plan for the week pretty much the same, I've to meet some friends on Thursday for lunch then we are planning a family hen party on Saturday for future daughter in law, one with Mammies and Aunties. Will enjoy trying on outfits for that.
Take care and chat later.
 
I don't have "skill"😂, in fact I really struggle to see a straight hem. I am merely opening up the armhole on a sleeveless dress as it is tight on my arm. I did it yesterday and it gives me enough leeway to close the zip on the opposite side now. Dress looks good when I'm standing, sitting is a different matter😭. I'm still losing weight but can't determine where I lose it from. An inch gone from my waist would be perfect.
 
Morning,went swimming early and have done my physio already. It's wet out and too wet for a walk. Also a bit early for me too eat. Wondering can I sneak in an early nap😂
 
Sounds like a good day my lovely. You walk sounded nice the other day too. Xxx
 
Thanks all. I had a more productive day yesterday. Went swimming in the morning,only 20 lengths as I was tight on time and the 20 lengths was easy to do. Then I was to meet friends for lunch. I stopped at TKMaxx for a browse and saw a dress I liked but one I have never been able to wear. You will know the sort, a long straight knitted dress with a belted waist. It was a cream cable knit style with nowhere to hide in it. Well it fit, and not only that but it looked good...so obviously I bought it and was so happy. I'm no model in it but you certainly wouldn't look at me and think it's unflattering either.
Lunch out was grilled chicken, pepper sauce and a side salad and then dinner at home was two eggs scrambled and a slice of corned beef. I didn't drink as much water as I would have liked as was out most of the day.
Scales this morning is good and my BMI has tantalisingly dropped into the 30s, woohoo.
Take care,chat later
 
Morning all, great news. I've lost 1.1kg this week and hit my target of 71kg for the week. My goal for October 13th is 70kg and that looks pretty achievable now though as stated the dress would like a little more leeway.
Did physio yesterday then ate out, we visited the venue we are having the party at today and had lunch there. I had the chicken burger without the bun which was a full chicken breast coated and fried, I had all the trimmings and a salad. It came with chips, I think I had about 5. Had two squares of dark chocolate with tea when I came home and a few almonds later. But then I had a few glasses of wine 🍷, not so good. And will be having wine today with lunch, better than cocktails though.
Won't go too mad. Going to start my day soon with some peppermint tea and then will go to town for a swim.

Oh, stopped at Tesco and picked up a pair of jeans. I want new jeans and just can't seem to find the style I want. Dark denim, brown stitching, straight leg, a little bit of a stretch for comfort but not skinny leg or leggings and not too high a waist. And I'm short so need them in a short leg/petite size. Can't find a pair anywhere, all faded or ripped or flared. Tesco had a size 12 short so picked them up and brought home to try. Well the length was perfect, and that's all. The waist was too high and no way could I fasten the button but all the rest of them was much too baggy, baggy bum and thighs. I will be bringing them back today. I need to go to Marks and Spencers and see if can find a pair, a big store with a big selection.
 
Morning, playing catch up this week. Party was fun, drank a good bit, was pretty good with food at it but did have some chips but then biscuits at home. So was 600g up yesterday. Back down to 71.1kg this morning but will be hard to hit 70.5kg this week and below 70kg for Friday week which is what I want to be.
Been for a swim this morning and might go for a walk too, weather is sunny right now. Have follow up appointment with hip doctor on Thursday though plans for rest of the week may change. Daughter ones father in law died last night so waiting to see what the arrangements will be and will be on babysitting duties anyway.
 
Morning, trying to motivate myself to get out of bed . Just popped onto the scales and I'm 70.9kg, which is good, it means I've lost the weekend gain. But to be honest I expected a bit of a whoosie today, maybe it will show tomorrow. Ended up going for a 4.5km walk yesterday which is the longest I reckon in about 5 years. Feeling really good about that but still in pain. Today is a physio day so trying to decide weather it's physio or pool first.
Sorting out more clothes yesterday as I'm packing away unneeded summer clothes, too big clothes and trying to finalise what comes on holiday with me. Well one dress I had put aside to take is now too big, I wore it a few weeks ago to day 2 of a wedding. It's too big across my back and the waist is hanging. So that's gone back into the wardrobe.
I've ordered a diary for 2025 and also a new food and exercise journal, it's a 6 month one., Clever Fox Wellness journal, as mine runs out end of next week. I'm not going to track while I am away but will once Nov 1st hits and I'm home.
Physio, swimming and packing today. Consultant in Dublin tomorrow and then funeral on Friday and then I have the little ones overnight and Saturday. I have plenty of food cooked, I just need to make sure I make good choices while out and still fit in my exercise.
Chat later, take care.

Gosh you are busy at the moment! Journal sounds good, I've just signed up to Nutracheck to help me log my food. I don't particularly like the idea, but it should help me see whether I am actually consuming too few calories to lose weight.

Fab news about the clothes. It's a good feeling (although sometimes frustrating!) You've reminded me I should try on the yellow dress
 
Just read back through a few months and sorry to read you had a stroke. Hopefully you are on the mend now but you are so busy.
Slow down a bit as I can't keep up with you.;)
