Holy moly

 

We've been away. Best part of a week at the Hideaways near Dundee. I don't want to brag but I will anyway. Just relaxing, going in the sauna and hot tub, a tiny bit of shopping. Long may it continue - Seems this year is going along the same path as last year, we have something booked for every month of the first half. I'm a lucky, lucky lady.

I had false eyelashes put on before my holiday in Lanzarote. What a difference it made to my face. And they lasted a whole month, I just pulled them off on Sunday and I just look weird now. My natural eyelashes are only about 4mm long - compared to Isaac who has 10mm! And the fake ones are the shortest they do but they transform me and I love it. Who would have guessed the impact. I need them again, soon! It's formed part of my transformation though it's organic - I've not sat down with a list. My weight loss has made such a change to my life. I'm dressing smarter, I'm wearing lipstick more. All the tiny things add up.

This picture above left, was me in May last year just a couple of weeks before the surgery. It popped up on my phone the other day and I simply couldn't believe my eyes. Did I really look so large? I was shocked to say the least, and repulsed at the same time. I need to lose a little more though, see picture right. I need to concentrate harder. This week away involved too much booze, crisps, nuts and chocolate. Though it was lovely. Starting now I'll be finishing January dry. Hopefully it'll help. Need to get the magical 5 stone loss at least. Just back today so no chance to weigh myself but I'll let you know next week.

I had another NSV this week though. We have an Aga, which has a long oven, and the Aga oven gloves go all the way up to my elbows. Previously I couldn't get them on especially when wearing long sleeved clothes but now the go on easily - even if I'm wearing a sweatshirt etc. It's delightful. I love it. 

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.
