Made It Through Week 2

My Smile today is brought to you by the number 3! For those trying to work out where this phrase comes from let me tell you how to get, how to get to Sesame Street! Trying not to be Big Bird and certainly not Oscar the Grouch anymore. The pity party is well and truly over. Break out the streamers and lets have a jolly good knees up! I can only apologise for my melodramatic last post for 40Fit&Fab. I wanted the blog to be honest and from all your messages, texts and phone calls I can only assume I came across far more dramatic than I intended. Oopsie - smile is back. Like a cheshire cat. X

So the sun is shining out there and in my head todays theme song is very much It's a Beautiful Day with Michael Buble. Just back from a lovely walk with a gorgeous friend who always makes me smile. Those are good friends to have in your life aren't they? Ones that make you smile. The ones that make you nearly wet yourself are even better and today there were many tena moments! #illbethereforyou

Speaking of Friends. It is 20 years since it first aired on 22 September 1994. Ben would now be 19, the triplets would be 16, Emma would be 12.... I still watch it with the children so to me they are trapped in a Central Perk bubble and will never age!

Back to moi!

This week is another 3 pounds lost. So now weighing in at 194lbs. A total loss of 6lbs in the last two weeks and I am so chuffed.

More importantly than the numbers is with 236 days to go until I hit the big 40 I am starting to believe in myself. Not sure where the strength is coming from. I have great support from family and friends but this blog is a massive help. Knowing people know. It keeps you strong.

Take this week for example. I went for coffee at a friends house and I had mentally prepared myself - ignore any biscuits or goodies on the table kind of preparation. Btw the coffee was a cover. We were all simply being nosy as a friend has moved house and we needed to suss it out - like the carpet, prefer my kitchen or wish my garden was that big kind of thing. Anyway, in walks a very impressive nosy parker, sorry, guest, who bears gifts. Not only a little offering (more than I had thought of) but a homemade offering at that. I could tell by the tin that sat on the worktop that inside would lie temptation. 

Temptation. More like torture. Homemade Shortbread! The smell was divine. Yet somehow I stayed strong. Knowing three out of the four guests at the table read this blog did help. So this is working.

The exercise side of things is progressing nicely. Walking is a simple task this week and I am able to sit down without crying! Mr Big is not boring me yet which is always positive as you can get stuck in a boring exercise cycle. My Breakfast & Barbells babes at Crossfit Huntsman are keeping me laughing despite our major workouts. So all is good!
