Got it taped...

WI today wasn't what I'd hoped for...only 0.5lb off this week - I was secretly hoping for a bit more, but beggars cant be choosers I guess! I couldn't wear my 'usual' trousers today because they were falling off me, so I wore a pair of lightweight jeans, the waist of which was dangerously close to sliding down over my hips - not a good look! I had to wear a belt to keep them up, which is quite heavy, so its a good job i took that off before I got weighed, or you could be faced with much weeping a gnashing
My body shape is changing, I feel it, I (sort of)see it, so I think I need to stop stop judging my progress on the weekly WI alone, because I know from past experience, that judging myself on weight alone is a huge stumbling block.

So. The positive thing to come out of this is, I bought myself a tape measure and intend to use it...oh and a pedometer, but as N02Son remarked dryly, 'Yeah that's great Mum, but you know you actually have to get moving for it to do anything...?' He wasnt being unkind, just stating a fact.
I am thinking of asking him to become my personal trainer actually, as he is always yomping off round the paddocks, and comes back have worked up sweat! I seem to have a mental block about going out walking atm - which is ironic given I work the dogs on the beating line during the shooting season!

I did treat myself to 'Just Dance' for the Wii, and am a bit miffed I haven't had the time to try it out yet, 'cos people rave about it on the WW message boards, and I'm itching to try it out, as I used to really love dancing.

I need to gather my thoughts, regroup those of my brain cells not subject to a mental block (pitifully few atm!) and move forward.... this weight thing isn't going to beat me, this time I WILL win.
