Swimming with ducks

Weight today: 14 4
Loss this week: 1½
Total loss: 1st 1lb

So you like my new earrings? My treat for losing my first stone. Tesco's finest!! But they are lovely.

I stepped on my scales the other day and it started flashing madly - needed new batteries. That's ok. Except I suddenly started to panic...what if my weight was only going down as the batteries ran out of juice? And they didn't have the power to calculate my true weight?? Argh!! Try explaining that to you! Phew it was fine.

My weight loss has slowed down this week. Maybe my PMT or my body going on strike, having realised that this 800 calorie plan was staying! "You're not eating like you used to, I'd better hold on to this fat in case we need it later!" Nothing is changing. 800 plan staying. My body just needs to wake up and get with the programme.

Me and my dog were walking in the local country park. We go nice and early just as the sun goes up. Bliss. She loves to wild swim - yep, even at this time of year! It's freezing but she loves it. Down at the river there were 2 ducks (I've never seen them in the river before). One girl and one boy which was cute. Then passing the pond (where the ducks actually live) I noticed that they subtly swim in couples. I know the swans there mate for life (allegedly) but ducks? I suspect it was just a Valentine's trick for the visitors. Now you're all going to tell me that of course ducks swim with their other halves! D'oh

So I'm out for dinner this week. I'm very excited! Whatever I have I hope it's with chips. I will have dessert if something sounds irresistible but I suspect I will only manage a main! But I will be drinking gin and wine. Whoop. Next  week we'll see how it's affected the weight loss!!

Whispering is what people say. Shouting is what people do.

PS had more out of date soup - July 2011 no less! It was fine and no harm done - I'll get through all my old jelly sachets if it kills me. No pun intended xx
