Ready for the next!

Aw I think you've all missed me!? It was my son's idea. Letting someone close to me blog their opinions of my weight issues and endeavours at losing. I thought it was brilliant and asked him if he'd like to do it...'No thanks mum' lol. My husband was obviously the best choice (being the closest and all that i.e. having to listen to all my moans/celebrations/moans) except, he can't even write a shopping list! So he politely declined - 'fuck off Gilly I can't do that!'. So who? Who knows me well? Who is opinionated? Who has their finger in healthy eating and exercise? That would be my lovely brother in law! Thank you Richard, I liked your piece. It was pertinent. A friend spoke to me and pointed out that his post just showed that weight loss is personal. If us fatties only had to lose 8lbs we'd be bloody delighted. In fact I'd go as far as to say if I only needed to lose half a stone I would consider myself skinny! But for Richard that's his demon! So whether it's 4lbs or 14 stones our extra fat is a demon to each of us. We all need to face our personal demons. Go Richard!!

So yes I was on holiday (with WiFi lol). A few days in Dubrovnik, Croatia. It was lovely (see pic - it rained the day we walked the old wall. Strike rained... It poured) I didn't put much weight on, which is a minor miracle for me on holiday! Mind you the food wasn't great (veg boiled within an inch of their life, mashed potato tasting like Smash, weird fish) but the daily pizza was good, the hot chocolate in lieu of decaf coffee was yum and the ice cream delicious! Cor I think I was lucky just putting on a lb!! Anyway, said lb has gone. I'm still at my stone loss and I'm ready to lose the next one! Back to the 5-2! Finger extracted! Ready to battle! Bring it on!!! I'm back to see the dietician in about 6 weeks so that's my target - I will do this!

Btw I did my wee Kilt Walk. It was delightful. Just under 2 hours at a very pleasant pace (my walking pal has very little legs) and the sun was shining. I really loved it and we raised £170 for the centre where I work! I'll definitely do it again next year! Might even upgrade to the 14 miles! Get me.
