Thursday

Good morning, everyone.  It's still jolly cold and I was very grateful for my electric blanket when I woke feeling chilly in the night.  I never used to feel cold in bed but age and weight loss have impact, I guess.  I must remember to put a fleece over the quilt tonight; that should do it.

It was cold all day yesterday - in fact in some places the little snow remained unmelted all day and it's still there now.  I did get out for a brisk walk to post an important letter but I was glad to get back inside again afterwards.  I did some sorting out and some tidying up and generally managed to stay busy on little things all day, which was nice.

Today I have someone coming round to talk about insurance and then I need to prepare for the weekend, update my finances and do the food planning for the coming week (I do Friday to Thursday because of SW group on Thursday evening).  Despite the big shop earlier, I have a few items to shop for but they are all things for the weekend with Mum and Dad rather than for me. 

This evening it is SW group and, as always, my fingers are crossed.  It all seems to be slowing down somewhat but I don't care as long as the overall trend is downwards - I have plenty of time, after all.  I've been wearing the next size down jeans this week when I found that I could pull the usual ones down without undoing button or zip which made them feel somewhat precarious!!
The weight comes off slowly but my shape seems to be changing as much or more than the weight right now.

I'll shut up now and get on with some other paperwork.  Have a warm and cosy day with lots of good things.

  1. Thanks Joy we are freezing here this morning with a thick frost and the remaining snow from yesterday still in place.

  2. The forecast said last night was the coldest so tonight should be a bit better. I love my hot water bottles at this time of year, except the one called Polly who insists on laying half on top of me and then jumping down with a thump every time I move.

    1. Aw, bless them. I guess Polly enjoys the warmth too.

  3. I had to go out last night to a 60th birthday party and when I got back to my car it was thick white and took me ages to scrape off the frost to be able to drive home. Good luck at SW tonight. x

  5. I've just added fleece throws to the bed because I've been waking up throughout the night feeling cold. I'll also do a hot water bottle as well tonight. We're forecast for snow later today and tomorrow so I'll be staying in if it does materialise.

    1. That's wise. I wonder if we'll get any more here. I've just added a fleece to my bed too so we should both be cosy enough overnight.

  6. Very cold night here, which suited me just fine! (the 'joys' of the menopause!). Well done on the shape changing, and fingers crossed for another loss tonight.

    1. Oh, I sympathise. I guess it's one of the few 'advantages' but not a particularly useful one most of the time.
      (and thanks - I'll be very happy with any loss because of the shape change - a non-scale success if ever there was one)

  7. You certainly seem to have found a good fit with your SW program. I go to Weight Watchers here, which I think is very similar. Wish it was working as well for me! There's always next week!
