Next steps

So I'm getting back on plan, though I do have a couple off pounds I need to lose again, after having a few weeks off. I've had both my children home but they've left now. Hubby is back to work so hopefully it'll be easier to stick to my low calories. Onwards and upwards, again.

I was so chuffed to get a hair appointment yesterday, first day of Scottish opening. My hair has been dyed and cut and blow dried (see below). So very excited to have lovely hair again! And it's grown so long over lockdown. This blow dry will last me 2 weeks... No way I'm washing it sooner!

So the picture? This ring I saw in the jewelers in 2011 and I really liked it. Now we can't just go buying diamond rings when we fancy (unfortunately) so I needed a plan. Had I just asked hubby to buy it for me he would have replied with a sod and an off. I thought about going down the eternity ring route - last ring he'd ever have to buy me!? But in the end I negotiated that he buy me the ring and keep it, until I'm a size 12 and it would be a massive incentive to lose weight! He agreed, and it's been in his bedroom drawer ever since. But that's now 9 years and the ring as an incentive obviously hasn't worked! Still not a size 12. If a diamond ring hasn't helped in nearly a decade it's not going to. So I've stolen the ring, popped it on my finger, and is never going back. Hubby was shocked but relented. Daughter gutted, she thought she'd get a brand new ring as her inheritance lol. The ring is mine, I've waited a long time. I need to lose weight for the sake of it. Not because of health, rings, size 12 dresses or anything else. I just need to do it.

I have bloomed a thousand times in my life time because I let my dying petals fall off.
